No more worrying about soggy carpets or musty smells! This Cedar Rapids basement received a complete makeover from our waterproofing pros. We installed CleanSpace to seal the walls, paired it with a powerful duo of sump pumps, and added a WaterGuard system for extra protection. The result? A dry, healthy, and worry-free basement for the homeowner to enjoy.
Before tackling this basement in Cedar Rapids, IA, the homeowner was combating a relentless battle against water intrusion and bowing walls, turning what should be valuable space into a headache zone. As depicted, we installed our WaterGuard system, a TripleSafe Sump Pump, and the SaniDry Sedona unit while reinforcing the integrity of the structure with PowerBraces. The transformation speaks volumes—dry, stable, and usable space, delivering on our promise of a dependable, long-term solution and an unmatched customer experience.
In Cedar Rapids, IA, this homeowner's driveway faced cracking and settling issues that were worsening over time. The goal was to repair it before ita full replacement became necessary. As seen in the before photo, aging concrete can become a major concern. Our team at MidAmerica Basement Systems stepped in with a lasting solution. By utilizing our PolyLevel system, we stabilized and lifted the concrete efficiently. We added the NexusPro Joint Sealant to protect against further water intrusion, and applied SealantPro to extend the surface's longevity. The impressive transformation in the after photo reflects 35+ years of putting our customers first.
Uneven concrete in Cedar Rapids was turning this homeowner’s walkway into a trip-hazard obstacle course. MidAmerica Basement Systems to the rescue! We used our PolyLevel system to lift and stabilize the settling slabs, then finished the job with NexusPro joint sealant for long-term protection. Check out the transformation: from a "watch your step" eyesore to a perfectly level, worry-free stroll.
Following an accidental fall, a Cedar Rapids, Iowa homeowner faced significant safety hazards navigating the sunken, uneven concrete pathway around their property. Differential slab settlement had created raised concrete edges and open cracks, making the walkway dangerous to traverse, particularly for someone using a walker. System Design Specialist Shawn Conaway inspected the exterior flatwork and identified sub-slab soil erosion as the root cause of the settlement. Shawn designed a non-destructive concrete repair plan combining PolyLevel® Concrete Leveling with NexusPro® Joint Sealant through MidAmerica Basement Systems.
Foreman Ricky Sigala and crew member Jaylen mobilized to execute the precision lifting and sealing process. First, Ricky and Jaylen drilled dime-sized injection ports through the settled concrete slabs. They inserted injection nozzles and pumped a two-part expansion geopolymer foam beneath the concrete. Upon injection, the high-density liquid expanded, compacting weak subgrade soils and exerting upward hydraulic pressure to lift the sunken slabs back flush with the surrounding pathway.
Once the walkway was fully leveled, the team cleaned out all open joints and surface cracks, applying NexusPro Joint Sealant across the entire path. This silicone-based sealant cures quickly, resists harsh UV exposure, and remains permanently flexible, preventing future rainwater from washing away the subgrade soil. The crew capped the small injection holes with matching concrete compound and thoroughly cleaned the site. The restored pathway completely eliminated trip hazards, providing the homeowner with a smooth, safe, and fully accessible walkway.
