Lifting and Leveling Sidewalk in Emerado, ND

Thursday, August 17th, 2023 by Ella Wiebusch

Challenge

Robert, a homeowner in Emerado, ND, scheduled an appointment with our team after noticing his front sidewalk concrete was sinking. He was afraid that if he left the issue unresolved, he would run the risk of the water damaging his concrete, and excess water finding its way down to his foundation due to the runoff. We set him up with our FREE estimate, and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, James, headed out to the property to assess the issue and see what could be done to fix it.

Solution

After his inspection, James recommended the use of our PolyLevel injection. PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam meant to be injected below the slab, filling any voids caused by erosion while raising and stabilizing the concrete. Our customer agreed, and work began shortly after. Foreman Charlie and his crew began the project by introducing themselves to Robert and ensuring his questions were answered. After a complete introduction, our team got to work. The first thing our crew did was drill small, 5/8" holes throughout the slab. Next, our crew installed injection ports over the holes to guide the PolyLevel underneath the concrete. Then, our team injected the PolyLevel through the holes to get underneath the slab and fill the voids to raise and level the slab surface. Next, the team used NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, so it won't crack, bubble, or dry out. That means a single application can seal the joints and cracks in your concrete driveway, patio, or sidewalk for years to come, protecting it from damage caused by soil compaction and washout. To complete the installation, our crew provided the resident with a thorough walkthrough of what they did and ensured the resident's expectations were met.
