Solution

Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Nate, to the home to begin the detailed inspection. During his inspection, Nate found that the grain pit was sinking due to soil settlement. To prevent the grain pit from sinking further, Nate recommended lifting with PolyLevel. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed and the plans were sent to our Foreman, Patrick, and his crew. Once they received the finalized plans, Patrick and his crew traveled to the home and started the project. First, Patrick and his crew prepped the concrete for the PolyLevel installation. PolyLevel is a high-density polyurethane formula that stabilizes and lifts sinking concrete. Next, Patrick and his crew installed PolyLevel and lifted the slab back to its original position. Once the grain pit was lifted back to its original level, the crew was able to clean up its materials and leave the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew, so they left a delightful review.
