MidAmerica Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Leaking basements can lead to a number of issues if left untreated. As for this home in Alburnett, Iowa, old foundation will eventually lead to a leaky one. Installing a waterproof system will help prevent water from damaging personal belongings, and help keep your basement dry. One solution is installing a TripleSafe Sump from MidAmerica Basement Systems. A TripleSafe Sump is a three-system sump pump system, two electric sumps and one battery operated sump for power outages. With the TripleSafe, you can rest assure that it will continue keeping your basement dry during the worst storms.

Tom noticed a large drop between his garage and driveway, making it a rough transition from the driveway into his garage. He contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to get an estimate on how to lift and level his sunken driveway. During evaluation, Bryan suggested injecting PolyLevel to fix his issue. Small holes were drilled into the concrete, and injected with PolyLevel to fill the voids that had caused the driveway to originally sink. Once the voids were filled, the PolyLevel expanded to lift to concrete to its original height. Tom now has a smooth transition to his garage, rather than a 2inch bump.

PolyLevel injections can help lift sunken concrete slabs, leveling them back to their original state. Small dime-sized holes are drilled into the concrete, poly ports are then placed along the holes. Polymers are injected into the ports, mixing with a reactive resin, to expand and fill the voids. After all voids are filled, PolyLevel lifts the concrete, precisely leveling the slabs. The lightweight material offers less stress on the ground underneath the slabs, preventing future sinking. PolyLevel can help repair all types of sinking concrete: driveways, sidewalks, patios and pool decks, stoops, porches, concrete steps, interior floor slabs, and additions.

Carl was concerned for his neighbors who take their daily walks around the block because of the uneven sidewalk in front of his home. He thought about having the concrete re-poured but realized it could take weeks on end to tear it up and repour the sidewalk. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to see what kind of solution they had to offer. Cole introduced Carl to PolyLevel. PolyLevel is made of high-density polymers that are injected under the slabs to lift and level the concrete. The quick reaction times allows for the slabs to be level once again in minutes, providing the permanent stabilization they need. PolyLevel also has a quick cure time that allows for the sidewalk to be accessed within minutes after application, so Carl’s neighbors can continue their walks without the worry of tripping hazards.
