Marcia D. in Johnston, IA, was experiencing extreme settling in the front entrance of her house. The concrete steps had sunk, and the slab leading to the slabs had a void underneath from soil washout, a problem we often see. After recommendations from those closest to her, she quickly called us to provide a permanent concrete repair solution.
Our crews arrived at the home in Johnston, IA, and installed our 2-part concrete protection system. It consists of our PolyLevel lifting foam to stabilize and level the staircase and slabs and our NexusPro sealer to caulk all cracks and control joints. The two solutions ensure that the concrete remains level and sealed properly to avoid this in the future.
Linda W. noticed that the concrete slabs in the basement of her Des Moines, IA home were cracking. She had Midwest come out and repair her driveway and felt comfortable with having us return to fix her basement. Service Technician Michael Holtzbauer was able to identify that the basement slab had a giant void under it and it was causing the slab to settle at different rates and crack. The crew used PolyLevel to fill the void and level out the slab. Then used NexusPro Joint Sealant to close the cracks. Linda was super excited to see that the slab was level and no longer cracking!
This customer wanted the pads in front of his garage doors to be lifted. The main reason the pads were settling was because of washout. This was an urgent project because if we waited much longer the cost to repair would increase. We lifted and stabilized the concrete pads using PolyLevel, one pad had to be lifted 3 inches! We finished up by using NexusPro to seal all the joints and cracks.
Concrete structures often feature intentional control joints to manage cracking caused by shrinkage and temperature changes. However, if these joints are left unsealed, concerns about their effectiveness and visual appearance may arise.
One customer expressed worry over the unsealed control joints in their driveway, recognizing the importance of proper maintenance.
To resolve the problem, our team applied Nexus Pro, a high-quality joint sealant, to seal all of the control joints in the driveway. Nexus Pro provides a durable and flexible barrier that prevents moisture intrusion, prolonging the lifespan of the concrete and maintaining its visual integrity.
