Sinking, Uneven Driveway Causes Issues for Homeowners in Dubuque, IA

Over time, Kristy’s driveway began to sink and settle, not worrying her and her husband, at first. Water began seeping into their basement due to water collecting in the sunken areas near the home. So, before it could get any worse, they contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems. Bryan, inspected their situation, noticing that there were “obstacles” near the home’s foundation like a window well, gas line, and concrete stairs. He informed Kristy that they were not an issue for the injection technology, PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a lightweight material that uses small 3/8th inch injection holes. The high-density polymers are injected under the concrete to fill the voids, then expand to lift and level the slabs without placing damage to the gas line or window well. With the concrete leveled once again, water no longer pool against the foundation.

WaterGuard Installation in Dubuque, IA

Homeowner has a wet bsemen she uses for storage. A sump Pump System was already installed, but it wasn't working to it's full potential. It was proposed to DeAnna that installing a WaterGuard System would ease her mind about the leaking foundation. WaterGuard is a drainage system that diverts water from the surfacing and properly directs it to the sump pump. DeAnna can now continue using her basement as storage space, even when it's raining thanks to her new WaterGuard System.

PolyLevel and NexusPro Lift and Seal Driveway in Dubuque, IA

Kristy was looking to repair her driveway, but when the contracted inspected her situation, he suggested that having it lifted would be more cost effective for her situation. Due to the basement window, concrete steps, and gas line, re-pouring new concrete would be more difficult then using injection technology by MidAmerica Basement Systems. PolyLevel is an effective modern solution to mudjacking. PolyLevel uses high-density polymers that are lightweight and won’t cause damage to the basement window or gas line. Small 3/8 inch holes are drilled into the concrete and PolyLevel is injected to fill the voids and expand to lift and stabilize the concrete. NexusPro Joint Sealant was then applied to all the cracks to provide a bond to prevent the cracks from worsening, and to help divert water from seeping in through the cracks.
