Before & After Photos

When front steps settle, it not only creates an unlevel surface but also poses a potential safety hazard for anyone using them. One customer expressed concern about the risk of accidents and desired a solution to prevent the problem from worsening.

 We utilized PolyLevel, an advanced polyurethane foam lifting technique, to raise and stabilize the settled front steps. This process effectively restored the proper alignment and functionality of the steps, reducing the risk of tripping or injury.

To further enhance the longevity and aesthetics of the front entrance, we applied NexusPro, a premium joint sealant, around the step joints. NexusPro not only seals and protects the joints from moisture infiltration but also adds a polished finishing touch to the overall appearance.

By lifting the stairs and securing the joints with NexusPro, we transformed the front approach and entrance into a safer and more inviting area for all visitors. The customer can now have peace of mind, knowing that their front steps are structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing.

This customer lives here with his family but he is also a home host for a disabled child which is why he wanted to get his sidewalk fixed. He didn’t want his children and wife to trip and get hurt on the sidewalk up to the house. We fixed the problem by lifting and leaving the concrete with our PolyLevel foam. We then sealed up their control joints with NexusPro sealant to prevent water and rocks from getting in the joints. 

Midwest Foundation Repair was called out to lift and level the sinking driveway and sidewalk slabs of this home in Waukee, IA. Using a 2-part approach, we filled voids beneath the sinking concrete slabs with our PolyLevel polyurethane foam to bring them back to level, then sealed the joints with NexusPro to help mitigate erosion of the soil beneath the slabs.

Brad and Lisa S. are proud homeowners in Waukee, IA and noticed concrete of their entryway was beginning to lean forward away from the home. In addition, the driveway was lacking the protection it needed to survive the test of the time. The couple wanted to take care of these issues before they became more expensive over time and became a potential tripping hazard for their guests. In order to find a quick and permanent solution, Brad and Lisa reached out to Midwest to inquire about the variety of solutions we offer.

To begin the project, System Design Specialist Dan King arrived at the Waukee, IA home to perform a thorough inspection on the problematic concrete. It was clear the down spouts were pushing water towards the concrete and eroding the soils underneath causing it to lean. As a result, the control joints were beginning to fail and allowing water to seep in. Our teams began repairing the concrete by installing our PolyLevel foam to lift and level the leaning concrete. They followed this up by applying NexusPro to all cracks and joints to permanently prevent water from entering and causing future damage.

Brad and Lisa S. couldn’t have been more pleased with the appearance and effectiveness of the solutions we provided. They immediately recommended Midwest to all their neighbors for any concrete needs.

This customer knew that without a good joint sealant for their driveway, in a matter of years, it would be cracked. Midwest was able to provide a solution that permanently protects concrete with just one application, extending the concrete's life by 3-5x!
