Concrete Restoration in West Des Moines, IA

This homeowner was frustrated as her concrete had been undermined by chipmunks and rainwater that washed out the soil underneath the concrete. She had enough of these struggles, so she called us.

We sent System Design Specialist Nick Wessling to inspect the unique concrete problem and answer all questions that this homeowner had. Nick determined that the voids underneath the concrete created by the eroding soil and chipmunk areas led to the concrete breaking and settling over an inch. The homeowner was impressed with this assessment and wanted to complete this project with us. Nick and his team used PolyLevel Concrete Leveling and NexusPro Cracked Concrete Repair to raise the settled concrete and seal it off from water or chipmunks getting into the joints of the concrete.

The homeowner was very excited with the final result as she wanted to do this project for a while. Check our her concrete restoration!

Concrete Step Repair in Des Moines, IA

We recently had the opportunity to help Jan with her sunken concrete steps.  We were able to restore her steps to their original position and stability with Polylevel.  This happens by injecting polyurethane foam beneath the concrete through tiny ports, no larger than a penny. It starts off flowing like water, so it fills even the tiniest spots in the soil. As the foam expands and hardens, it lifts the slab and compresses the surrounding soil. Thanks to the fast drying time of PolyLevel, Jan was able to use her steps on the same day. At Midwest, we are committed to delivering high-quality foundation repair services that exceed our customers' expectations.

Concrete Repair in Polk City, IA

The sidewalk to the home of this couple was getting so bad it was becoming an extreme trip hazard for family and friends who wanted to visit. They had been Thrasher customers before, they knew of our reputation and loved the great quality work they received in the past, so they called us back up. Jordan Mullen, one of our System Design Specialists, went out to meet them. Jordan found they had a downspout right on the corner of their home that was dumping water right onto the sidewalk, which caused the soil the wash away from under the sidewalk. This caused the sidewalk to break away from each other and settle. To fix these issues, we buried the downspout out into the yard, so it wouldn't continue to dump water onto the sidewalk. Then we lifted and leveled the sidewalk to the home, using our Polylevel, and sealed all the joints and cracks with nexus pro. These homeowners were very pleased with the work done, and are planning on calling Thrasher again for all of their foundation, waterproofing, and concrete needs. 

Concrete Reconditioning: Restoring Beauty and Stability to Martha's Forever Home in Polk City, IA

For this project, we worked on Martha's beautiful countryside house that she bought back in 2021. Martha's concrete was cracking and has settled over the 20 years since it was first installed. She was told by other companies that her concrete would need to be fully replaced. But when she turned to us for an alternative solution we suggested using our PolyLevel foam system to lift and level the concrete. Additionally, we applied out NexusPro joint sealant to make the concrete even more durable. Martha was thrilled with the results, stating, "I'm glad that reconditioning the concrete was an option versus having to tear it all out and replace it." 

 

Cracked Driveway Repaired in Urbandale, IA

This homeowner had water leaking into her storage area in her basement from the corner of his driveway. She was pretty frustrated with this situation, so she decided to give us a call for a free estimate.

We sent System Design Specialist Jordan Mullen to inspect the driveway and determine what caused it to direct water into the storage area. Jordan found that there was a large void in the driveway on a newly poured area and so the stoop cap was leaking. While this problem was not ideal, the homeowner chose for us to fix her driveway because of the communication we sent her regarding her problem as well as the warranties we have on our products. Our team came in to lift, level, and seal the driveway using PolyLevel Concrete Leveling and NexusPro Cracked Concrete Repair. Not only did this solution fix the uneven and cracked driveway, but it also stopped the water flow to the basement.

The homeowner was super pleased with the work that was done. Check out how our crew was able to lift, level, and seal this driveway!
