Concrete Repair in Newton, IA

This homeowner was worried about the water that was flooding towards her foundation. Her sump pump was working well to keep water out, however she was worried that it would get overwhelmed and stop working in the future. Unsure of where water was flowing to her foundation, she called us for her free estimate.

We sent System Design Specialist Tyler Paulson to inspect the home's perimeter and determine the path the water was flowing towards the homeowner's foundation. Tyler found that the driveway concrete was uneven and water was flowing in between the voids that the concrete left and towards the foundation. The soil underneath the driveway had eroded, so there were gaps for water to sneak towards the foundation. Tyler and his team knew just what to do, so after consulting the homeowner, they began to repair the driveway. The crew leveled and sealed the concrete so that water could no longer flow underneath the concrete using PolyLevel Concrete Leveling and NexusPro Cracked Concrete Repair. 

The customer was very satisfied with the work that was done, and she no longer has to worry about her sump pump becoming overwhelmed. Check out her driveway repair!

Street Creep Expands Concrete in Newton, IA

This homeowner noticed that her foundation wall was starting to get pushed inwards. Soon after, she noticed that grass and weeds were growing non stop in the joints of her concrete on her driveway. She wanted these problems to stop, and since she had used our services before, she gave us another call.

We sent Service Technician Austin Dermody to inspect the source of the foundation wall falling and come up with a solution to fix both of the homeowner's problems. Austin found that street creep was causing the concrete in the garage to grow into the foundation wall next to it. There were also voids underneath the concrete which were causing them to crack. Austin knew just what to do to fix this problem, so he started right away and he utilized PolyLevel foam and NexusPro sealant to lift, level, and seal the concrete, in addition to installing Compression Guard Expansion Joint to stop the street creep which caused the concrete to grow initially.

The homeowner was very happy with the results and she is relieved that her foundation is secure. Check out her new Compression Guard System!

Concrete repair in Runnells, IA

The driveway was cracking so bad they thought they surely had to replace it all. Our crew lifted and leveled all broken concrete even an area that a roofing truck damaged with their level truck levers. We also found what was causing the settlement problem and buried the downspouts away from the concrete stopping the soil from being washed out.

Concrete Repair in Des Moines, IA

This home had a large driveway with deep cracks. The homeowner wanted to extend the life of the concrete for as long as possible and avoid having to replace it at all costs. Concerned with people tripping, they knew they had to get it fixed. They worked with Midwest in the past, so they knew how timely and thorough we were on our diagnosis. We sent Mike Portel, System Design Specialist, to inspect the concrete and develop a proposal.

Upon inspection, he confirmed several concrete slabs across the driveway and sidewalk had settled anywhere from 1/2" to 1 1/2". To fix the issue, we used PolyLevel; a foam injected in pea-size holes that fill in voids underneath the surface of the concrete and lifts the current slab to its original position. To fix cracks and joints, we then used NexusPro. 

The homeowners were extremely satisfied and surprised with how quick we got it all done!

Street Creep Scares in Des Moines!

Matt loves the home he moved into last year, but it comes with some structural issues that need to be addressed. His property has a large concrete driveway that leads down to his home. The large concrete slab is pushing against the come, causing damage to the structure of the garage. Additionally, the soil around Matt's home is consolidating and causing a sinking right at the garage entrance. 

To fix these issues, Midwest used PolyLevel to lift and level the driveway lip going into the parage. We also installed a CompressionGuard that will fix the issues street creep is creating in the structure.
