Challenge

A homeowner in Cornell, WI, knew it was time to have their uneven, dangerous sidewalk repaired. Wanting to avoid concrete replacement, the homeowner looked into various repair options. While watching television one evening, the homeowner watched our advertisement discussing concrete repair. The homeowner decided to visit our website and sign up for their FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chuck, to the home to begin the analysis of the sidewalk. Chuck uncovered that the sidewalk was being affected by soil settlement.

Solution

After he diagnosed the issue, Chuck recommended lifting and leveling the sidewalk using our PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injection solution. By using the PolyLevel, it can restore the appearance and safety of the sidewalk without the mess or cost of replacement. Additionally, Chuck recommended replacing all the joints throughout the sidewalk with the NexusPro Joint Sealant, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks. The homeowner trusted Chuck's plan of action, so they agreed and production plans began. Our Foreman, Jacob, and his crew were assigned to the project, so they traveled to the home to begin. After they arrived, the crew began by inserting the PolyLevel underneath the entire sidewalk. Once the sidewalk was all the same height, the crew moved on to replacing all the joints with the NexusPro Joint Sealant. The crew completed the entire project, so they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe that their sidewalk was restored.
