This homeowner was struggling because his driveway was pushing against his garage floor, making both his garage floor and his driveway uneven. He was worried that he would have to completely replace his driveway concrete, but he wanted an expert opinion before he found someone to replace the concrete, so he gave us a call.
We sent System Design Specialist James Denning to inspect the driveway and determine what solution would be better than replacing the driveway's concrete. James found that street creep was effecting the driveway as it was putting pressure on the garage floor and eventually this would expand to pressure on the foundation. While this problem was concerning to the homeowner, James explained a custom solution that would prevent street creep from hurting the home. Our installation team came out to the home and got to work first on using PolyLevel foam and NexusPro sealant to lift, level, and seal the driveway to restore the driveway from the pressure that was against it. After that, our team installed Compression Guard to act as a buffer between the driveway and the street, ensuring that the driveway was safe from the street pressuring it in the future.
The homeowner was very happy with these solutions, especially since he thought that he was going to spend thousands of dollars on completely replacing his concrete, just for the same problem to happen again. Check out the driveway transformation!
Craig W. wanted to repair and protect his driveway before the sinking and cracking he was noticing got worse. To do this, we used a 3-part concrete protection solution that started with lifting and leveling his sinking slabs. Next we sealed the joints between the slabs to prevent water from seeping beneath the slabs where it could erode away the supporting soil. Next, we applied a concrete sealant over the driveway to protect it from the normal wear and tear that chips away at concrete and shortens its lifespan. We also installed an expansion joint to relieve pressure between the street and the driveway slabs to prevent future cracking. Craig was very happy with the results, and felt good knowing that his driveway would be protected in the years ahead.
Matthew B. reached out to Midwest because he noticed his walkway had big cracks that would be a potential tripping hazard for his children. He chose Midwest because he knew we were a reliable company and wanted to get the work done quickly.
We sent System Design Specialist Tyler Paulson out to inspect. We ended up lifting and leveling the concrete with our Polylevel system. The Polylevel concrete leveling system was the perfect option for this job because it's waterproof, cures quickly, and will efficiently fill cracks and crevices in the soil. After leveling, we then sealed up the controlled joints with our Nexus Pro to prevent any water and rocks getting into the joints. Matthew was so happy with our work and timeliness that he started thinking of other areas we can come back out and help fix.
This driveway was in some serious need of protection! With all the joints left exposed, this left the driveway vulnerable to concrete settling and other foundational issues around the home. After sealing these joints with NexusPro joint sealant, this customer will no longer have to worry about future damages while keeping their driveway looking clean!
Melissa had "fix the driveway" on her to-do list for a while, and when she was ready, she called Midwest. Her driveway was sinking and cracking which led her to have concerns for her children's and mother's safety.
We were able to use PolyLevel to lift and level the concrete and seal the joints with NexusPro to prevent future damage.
Now, Melissa can check something off of her to-do list and let go of her fears!
