Challenge

A homeowner in Shoreview, MN, tripped walking into their home one evening. Worried someone could be seriously injured, the homeowner knew they needed to repair the sidewalk. Hoping to avoid total concrete replacement, the homeowner looked into “concrete lifting near me”. At the top of the list stood us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to take a closer look. Once they saw our eye-catching before and after, the homeowner knew we were the ideal team to complete their project. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate.

Solution

Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of our Design Specialist, Tony. A few days later, Tony traveled to the home to begin the estimate. Tony arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection. During the inspection, Tony discovered the soil underneath the sidewalk was settling, causing the sidewalk to sink. To stop the sinking from continuing, Tony recommended lifting the sidewalk back to its original position. The homeowner knew this was their best option, so they decided to go ahead with his recommendations. Next, Tony passed the plans along to our Logistics team to approve the project. Once the Logistics team gave the final stamp of approval, they scheduled the project for the following weeks. Once the project date arrived, our Foreman, Patrick, and his crew traveled to the home to begin. First, Patrick and his crew began by installing PolyLevel underneath the struggling sidewalk. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that will lift your concrete back to its original position. Once the PolyLevel was secured underneath the sidewalk. The crew shifted their focus to repairing the cracks with NexusPro, a silicone-based solution. Once all the cracks were repaired, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the transformation made by the crew. If you notice your sidewalk is struggling, sign up for your FREE estimate today!
