Challenge

A homeowner in Mason City, IA, grew concerned after seeing their driveway slabs were sinking and uneven. Hoping to avoid concrete replacement, the homeowner began looking into concrete lifting and leveling services near Mason City, IA. Unsure who to work with, the homeowner asked a local Facebook group for recommendations. Several members of the group recommended working with us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to give us a shot. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Nate, to the home to take a closer look.

Solution

After Nate arrived, he began his thorough investigation of the driveway and sidewalk. During his inspection, Nate discovered that the driveway slabs were suffering from settlement. To stop the settlement from continuing, Nate recommended lifting the slabs back to its original position. After considering all their options, the homeowner decided to go ahead with the recommendations. As soon as they received the stamp of approval, Nate passed the plans along to our Logistics team to build the project. Once the Logistics team approved the plans, they were assigned to our Foreman, Dylon, and his crew to begin. Dylon and his crew traveled to Mason City and started the project. First, Dylon and his team lifted the sinking sidewalk using PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injection solution. PolyLevel will stabilize and lift sinking concrete slabs back to their original level. Once the driveway was leveled, the crew shifted their focus to repairing the cracks throughout the concrete. To fill these cracks, the homeowner used NexusPro Crack Repair, a silicone-based solution that is designed to provide flexibility and long-lasting durability. After the cracks were repaired, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. If you notice your driveway slabs are beginning to lower, sign up for your FREE estimate today!
