David was concerned about the between his driveway and garage slab. Roughly an inch had developed from the sinking of the concrete driveway. Wes, design specialist from MidAmerica Basement Systems, offered David the prefect solution for the sunken concrete. PolyLevel is an injection technology that uses high-density polymers to rise slabs back to desired levels. PolyLevel produces precise and accurate lifts without over- or under-lifting the slab. David’s driveway was restored back to level with the use of PolyLevel.

Roxanne was having issues with water pooling around her air conditioner unit, posing threat to damage of the system. The unit was located on her concrete patio, and over the years, the slabs had sunk, causing water to pool around the AC unit. Re-pouring the concrete would be a huge hassle but was unsure how to make the area safe for the unit. Cole had offered her the solution PolyLevel. PolyLevel stabilizes, lifts, and levels sunken concrete, diverting the water away from the AC unit, leaving the area safe. NexusPro Joint Sealant was than applied to all the cracks to seal off the ground from future rainfall. Keeping the water from out of the cracks keeps the soil from washing out, leaving a stable ground for the patio.

Uneven sidewalks can pose serious tripping hazards. With a call to MidAmerica Basement Systems, sinking slabs can be fixed, restoring safety. PolyLevel is injected under the slabs, filling the voids that are causing the slabs to sink, and lifting them back to their original position. The quick reaction time of PolyLevel allow for precise and accurate lifts, so no under- or over-lifting occurs. PolyLevel offers a permanent solution to sunken concrete with a lightweight material that will not put extra pressure on the soil under the slabs.

Over time, the ground under concrete can shift and settle, creating voids. When voids are present, the concrete can sink and crack from stress. Injecting PolyLevel from MidAmerica Basement Systems will help lift, level, and stabilize the concrete. The PolyLevel fills the voids and expands to lift the slabs, leveling the concrete back to its original position. PolyLevel has a lifting compacity of 2,000 to 4,000 pounds per square foot while weighing less than 4 pounds per cubic foot. The waterproof material prevents the PolyLevel from washing out and will not rot or deteriorate over time.
