Challenge

A homeowner in Forest Lake, MN, did not like the appearance of their crack-filled sidewalk. Knowing this would not be a do-it-yourself type of fix, the homeowner wanted to have a professional inspect their sidewalk. Unsure of which company to hire, the homeowner asked around their neighborhood for recommendations. Several neighbors recommended us, American Waterworks, and the homeowners decided to look further into our work. After seeing that our all our concrete services, the homeowner was convinced that we were the best bet for them. The homeowner went to our website and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate details were finalized, the homeowners prepared for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists. After they arrived, the Design Specialist completed the full inspection of the sidewalk. The Design Specialist determined that the sidewalk was sinking which led to the uneven sidewalk and cracks.

Solution

As soon as they determined the cause, the Design Specialist recommended that the sidewalk be lifted and leveled with PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injection solution. The PolyLevel restores the appearance and safety of your concrete without the mess or cost of mud jacking. The crew inserted PolyLevel underneath the entire sidewalk slab. Once the sidewalk was lifted and leveled, the crew shifted their focus to filling the several cracks throughout the sidewalk. To fill these cracks, the crew utilized the NexusPro Sealant, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks. The NexusPro Sealant is created to provide long-lasting flexibility and can stand up to harsh weather conditions. After the crew wrapped up the crack and joint repair, they were able to clean the job site and leave the home. The homeowners were grateful that they did not have to replace their entire sidewalk.
