MidAmerica Basement Systems Before & After Photos

John was beginning to notice rain water seeping in by the sewer pipe when it rained hard. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his issues addressed. FlexiSpan is a polyurethane polymer sealant that provides a durable, flexible seal. Due to its flexibility, it allows for the sealant to expand and contract during the freeze and thaw, and wet and dry cycles, preventing the crack from reappearing and worsening over the years. FlexiSpan permanently sealed John’s leaking pipe, providing him with a dry basement.

When concrete stairs sink, they tend to pull away from the structures they are placed against. In Cedar Rapids, JoAnn was having this issue. Her concrete stairs leading to her front stoop had sunken, leaving a large gap between the two, allowing water to seep in between. With the water seeping in between, it was causing the ground underneath to washout, making the stairs sink even more. PolyLevel was introduced to JoAnn to address her issue. PolyLevel is injected under the concrete stairs to fill the void that has been created, and lift and level the stairs back to their original position. NexusPro Joint Sealant was than applied to seal the crack, preventing future water intrusion.

Mary has a limestone foundation, and during any amounts of rain, she would always end up with a wet mess. Over the years, the walls began to stain, mold started to grow, and her home always seemed to feel damp. She finally reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to have her water issue addressed. She was offered a moisture barrier for the limestone walls to increase the effectiveness of a waterproofing system. CleanSpace Wall Liner was installed along the walls, reducing the moisture levels, and help direct the water to a WaterGuard system. WaterGuard is a drainage system that collects and redirects water to a TripleSafe. Once water reached the TripleSafe, it is discharged from the home, leaving the basement dry.

Overtime, the garage slab at Grant’s property began to sink, and due to the weight of the garage, some areas cracked. He was concerned about how he was going to replace the slab due to it being the main support of his garage’s foundation. Cole had offered him the solution of PolyLevel and NexusPro Joint Sealant to lift and repair the sunken slab. PolyLevel was injected under the slab to stabilize and lift the garage, without the worry of the heavy building on the slab. The lifting force of the PolyLevel ranges between 2,000 to 4,000 pounds per square foot. Soon the slab is level once again, and the cracks are sealed with NexusPro. NexusPro protects the cracks from becoming worse overtime, especially is the area is not treated with PolyLevel.

Grant was noticing sloping in his driveway but didn’t realize how much it had sunk until the step up to his sidewalk. The step up to the sidewalk entrance had become higher on one side, making it an unsafe step for him and his guests to access. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have his driveway lifted and level. Bryan assessed his situation and offered him the solution PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a lightweight material that is injected to fill voids and stabilize the area, and then expands to lift and level the concrete. The quick reaction and cure time of the PolyLevel allows for the concrete to be lifted precisely and allows for the injected area to be accessed within minutes. The driveway is once again level, and the step is no longer a tripping threat to Grant and his guests.
