Challenge

A homeowner in Madison Lake, MN, noticed that his concrete walkway and driveway had begun sinking, leading to cracks along the slabs. Concerned that it would be a trip hazard and lower the resale value of his home, he decided to look into concrete lifting and leveling in the area. He eventually found our website and grew impressed with our 5-star reviews and decided to schedule his FREE estimate.

Solution

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Ryan P., arrived at the home for the inspection. He informed the homeowner that one of the common causes of sunken concrete is soil washout. When it rains or floods, water moves through the ground, beneath the concrete slabs, and washes away the supporting soils. Over time, these voids and gaps can be found in the soil and lead to the slabs sinking. To fix this issue, Ryan recommended our PolyLevel to lift the concrete and NexusPro to seal the cracks and joints. Our PolyLevel is made of a high-density polyurethane formula that allows for accurate leveling of the slab and our NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant that provides flexibility and long-lasting durability. After Ryan explained our products to the homeowner and how they could help, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Patrick B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by lifting the concrete slabs and this was done by first drilling small holes into the slab. Then, the injection ports are installed and PolyLevel is injected beneath the slab, filling in the gaps in the soil. Once the concrete slab has been lifted, the crew ensures it is level before sealing the holes with concrete. Lastly, the crew uses NexusPro to repair the cracks along the walkway and garage apron and seal the joints. After they were done with the installation, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.
