Sinking Walkway Gets Lifted in Saint Paul, MN

A homeowner from Saint Paul, MN, was noticing dangerous trip hazards forming beyond a set of concrete stairs, leading to her backyard. Not wanting anyone to take an unnecessary tumble, she decided to get in touch with a company to fix the issue. On the recommendation of a family member, she got in touch with American Waterworks, set up her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Canon T, headed out to the home to assess the concrete.

Once his inspection concluded, Canon informed the homeowner that we could remedy the sinking concrete by using our PolyLevel. Canon explained that PolyLevel is a dense, polyurethane foam that expands when injected beneath sinking concrete, filling voids left by soil erosion and slowly lifting the slab back into place. He went on to say that we finish all of our lifts with the application of our NexusPro. A silicone-based sealant, NexusPro gets applied to the cracks and joints of the concrete and works to prevent unwanted debris or moisture from getting beneath the slab, potentially comprising the lift. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan, and the job was scheduled to be completed a month or so later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jordan, and his team were able to complete the lift and seal with no complications. Now our homeowner can breathe easy knowing her trip hazards have been fixed!
