In Minneapolis, MN, a homeowner had grown concerned for his sunken driveway apron. He decided to ask his friends and family if they knew a good company that does concrete leveling services and they recommended American Waterworks. He decided to look through our website and was impressed with our "Before and After" photos and decided to claim his FREE estimate.

Solution

Our Design Specialist, Kyle P., arrived at the home on the scheduled date to assess the driveway. He explained to the homeowner that one of the common reasons for sunken concrete is soil compaction and settling. When a soil's load-bearing capacity is exceeded, it causes the soil to expand and contract underneath the concrete slab. As this continues, it causes the slab to sink, eventually leading to cracks in one or more parts of the slab. For this reason, Kyle recommended our PolyLevel to lift the concrete and NexusPro to seal the cracks and joints. The homeowner was grateful for Kyle's recommendations and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Troy J., and his crew arrived at the home for the installations. They began by drilling small holes into the slab and installing the injection ports. Once those were installed, they injected the PolyLevel beneath the slab. As this expands it lifts the concrete. Before the crew seals the holes with concrete they ensure that the slab is even. Lastly, they sealed the cracks and joints using NexusPro. Our PolyLevel and NexusPro are both a long-lasting solution with high durability capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions. After the crew was done with the installations, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.
