Sunken Walkway Gets a Lift in St. Paul, MN

A homeowner from St. Paul, MN, had noticed a part of his concrete walkway was beginning to sink, slowly separating from the other slabs, creating a tripping hazard. Not wanting anyone to fall victim to the uneven concrete, he decided to begin the search for a company that could help with the issue. After seeing American Waterworks vehicles and yard signs around his neighborhood, he decided to give us a call and set up his FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Canon T, headed out to the home a few weeks later. 

Once Canon completed his inspection, he informed the homeowner that while sunken can become a nuisance, American Waterworks could address the issue with our PolyLevel lifting and leveling. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that expands when injected underneath concrete, filling voids left by soil erosion and slowly lifting the concrete back into place. Canon said that our team finished this installation with our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant gets applied to all cracks and joints in the concrete to prevent moisture from getting below the slab, potentially compromising the slab. The homeowner agreed and the work was scheduled for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Ryan, and his team made quick work of the lift. Once the job had been completed, our homeowner was thrilled to know he no longer had to worry about trip hazards forming!
