Midwest Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This customer hated the sunken concrete steps at their home. At Midwest Foundation Repair, we can fix common problems that happen to driveways, walkways, and sidewalks over time. When the soil beneath these concrete slabs weakens or develops voids, cracks, and sinking can occur. Different things like erosion from rainwater or gutter runoff, rotting tree roots, clogged gutters, improper downspout installation, poor yard drainage, and poorly compacted dirt fill, can cause voids. Thankfully, we provided a reliable solution using PolyLevel, a foam that lifts the concrete back to its original position while filling the voids. 

This homeowner recently decided to do something about the sunken concrete driveway at their home. To address this issue, we used PolyLevel polyurethane foam which is injected beneath the concrete slabs through small ports, filling cracks and crevices in the soil. As it expands and hardens, it lifts the concrete slabs, restoring them to their proper position while simultaneously compressing the surrounding soil. One advantage of PolyLevel is how fast it works, you can resume normal use of your concrete just 15 minutes after the process is completed. 

This customer recently encountered an issue with their home—an unlevel patio. Sidewalks go through constant use and can form cracks and sink when the soil beneath the cement slabs erodes. It's important to address these problems quickly because uneven sidewalk slabs are a safety risk to your family, guests, and neighbors. Midwest has the expertise to resolve these issues effectively. We used PolyLevel technology to lift, level, and stabilize their patio. To address smaller cracks, we used NexusPro solution to fill and seal cracks and control joints. This gave the patio a long-lasting and seamless finish.
