This Taylor Ridge, IL, homeowner noticed that his basement walls had developed a significant crack through the center and began to bow inwards. Realizing how urgent of a situation this was, he decided to give MidAmerica Basement Systems a call. Our team swiftly addressed the situation and decided a GeoLock Wall Anchor System was the best course of action. This system will not only hold the walls in place but also has the potential return them to their original position overtime.
Overtime, ground under your concrete can wash out and settle, causing it to become uneven. Having MidAmerica Basement Systems inject PolyLevel, will restore your concrete back to level, without the worry of it washing out or settling again. PolyLevel is made of high-density polymers that are environmentally friendly, and won’t rot or deteriorate underground. For a long-lasting, stable concrete slab, PolyLevel is the way to go!
Steve was concerned about the large drop between his driveway and walkway to his porch. The walkway had roughly dropped 2-inches, leading to potential tripping issues for him and his family. He had heard of MidAmerica Basement Systems injection technology, PolyLevel. Chad had explained to Steve that injecting the PolyLevel will allow for the voids under the concrete to be filled. Once they are filled, the PolyLevel will expand to lift and level the concrete, leaving a smooth transition between the walkway and driveway. Steve also wouldn’t need to worry of avoiding the area due to quick cure time. His family and himself would be able to use that area within minutes of application. The lightweight material allows for a powerful lift, that is accurate and precise, so it will never be over lifted. No more tripping hazards are present for Steve and his family.
