Before & After

A homeowner in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, faced a tilted front sidewalk that was actively directing surface water runoff straight beneath their porch deck, putting both the porch structure and home foundation at risk of severe water damage. Left unchecked, the pooling water threatened to wash away the supporting subgrade soil and compromise the long-term structural integrity of the home.
To eliminate the hazard without invasive concrete demolition, System Design Specialist Tim Rollet evaluated the site and designed a targeted repair strategy using PolyLevel® Concrete Leveling through MidAmerica Basement Systems.
Foreman Justin Maddox and crew member Devin S. executed the restoration with precision. The team strategically drilled pea-sized injection ports through the tilted sidewalk slabs and injected high-strength PolyLevel polyurethane foam into the underlying subbase. As the geopolymer expanded, it filled subterranean voids, compacted loose supporting soil, and lifted the sunken concrete back to a stable, level plane, properly redirecting water flow away from the porch and foundation. The crew patched the injection holes, leaving behind a safe, fully stabilized sidewalk engineered to protect the property for years to come.
In her rental property, Iowa City landlord had a water system installed by a different company. When the drainage tile tore, she decided to call the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems. Design specialist Mike Darnell came out to custom design a solution. Now, the basement is nice and dry and will stay that way!

Alaine of Iowa City, IA tested her home for radon and was surprised that the results came back greater than 2x higher than the EPA's recommended safe radon levels. She met with design specialist Cole Tatge of MidAmerica Basmenet Systems, and slected a mitigation system for aesthetics and functionality. Foreman Bill wilcox and his team installed the system, and Alaine is very happy with her radon-reduced home.

To her and her neighbor’s surprise, her levels were higher! She quickly contacted MidAmerica Basement Systems to have a system installed in her home. Crewmen quickly got to work to increase the air quality in Mary’s home. Once the system was up and working, levels dropped dramatically, and now her neighbor’s and her can enjoy each other’s company at one another’s home.
