Rodney M. was tired of having snow shovel catch during the winter months and he noticed the shape of his concrete was starting to decline. Looking for a solution to prevent further damage from occurring he brought up his concerns during an annual maintenance call with Service Tech Brandon Rost, who was able to identify and provide a one-step solution for Rodney’s needs.
Brandon was able to pinpoint that the concrete drive and sidewalks were impacted by unsealed joints which were causing voids to form allowing water to enter. We were able to provide a permanent solution using NexusPro Joint Sealant, as well as a hydrophobic poly to stabilize the voids and prevent further movement. After we completed the work not only was Rodney happy with how fast the project came along but he also noticed an impact on visuals and aesthetics of his home!
Kyle kept tripping on his walkway and driveway. Plus running a snowplow over settled concrete was the worst. So he contacted Midwest and liked our solution. Todd King, our System Design Specialist, went out to Kyle's home to see how we could help.
A few of Kyle's slabs had a lot of voids underneath the concrete, which is what made them sink. His sidewalk was also experiencing settled slabs due to the soil around it.
To fix this, we used our Concrete Protection System 3. This involves lifting the areas that had fallen with PolyLevel, sealing all the joints and cracks with NexusPro, and then we applied SealantPro to the entire area to prolong the concrete's life and keep water and chemicals from penetrating the concrete.
Kyle was so happy with the final result and best of all, no more tripping hazards!
When we look at this before photo, we wince just imagining the fall a person could have if taking the wrong step on this walkway. After using our Polylevel foam to lift the sinking slab back to its original position, we can take a deep breath knowing our customer and their family are safe.
Our customer had tripping issues in his walkway. A few slabs were sinking down in the driveway and he also had a lot of voids under the concrete. He didn't want to let the problem get worse because he planned to live there for another 10-15 years. To fix this, we used the Polylevel to fill the voids under the concrete and lift it to its original position. We also sealed all of the joints and cracks to prevent issues like this in the future.
Michelle recently worked with another company and replaced the concrete on her driveway and front entrance walkway. And to get it fixed, she called Midwest. We were able to get out on site, inspect her concrete, and then start leveling. We lifted the area and stabilized the rest of the walkway with PolyLevel. And then, we sealed all cracks and joints with NexusPro.
The result made it look good as new. And the homeowners were very pleased we had a solution to their frustrating problem!
