About 7 years ago Elaine H. had her driveway mudjacked, she started to notice the same area that was mudjacked was starting to settle. After having a bad experience with a previous contractor, she was hesitant to bring another one out. Her neighbor had work done with us and recommend she give us a call.
System Design Specialist Ryan Galt went out to the home and was able to identify a solution. The joints in the driveway where to wide, which was allowing water to go under the slab and cause it to sink in the same spot that the mudjacking had occurred. We used PolyLevel and NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal up the joins and life the concrete back up, so it was all smooth and level
Cheryl is going to sell her house in a few years and is getting ready to get a maximum property value. She called Thrasher to get her driveway fixed without replacing it all. When researching which concrete repair company to work with, she decided on us because of our professionalism and solution-oriented approach. She liked that we gave her different options and solutions to her problems. System Design Specialist, Josh Krestine, went to her home to get to the root of the problem. Upon inspection, he found that Cheryl had a sinking landing due to poor soil compaction around the house, which created a significant step up to her front door. Other driveway areas were cracking and falling as the water entered cracks and eroded the soil from underneath the concrete.
To fix these issues, we used a waterproof polymer foam to level all her concrete. Next, we used NexusPro to seal all cracks and joints to make them more stable and keep water from getting underneath. Then, for the final touch, we power washed and sprayed SealantPro to act as a protectant and keep the driveway from eroding due to water and temperature changes. This gave her driveway new life!
Cheryl, in the beginning, was very worried she'd have to replace the concrete and, honestly, didn't think we would be able to repair it. But we did and were able to do it at a fraction of the total replacement price.
This customer has lived in his Blue Springs home for 20 years. He's a father of three boys that are all in the Army and wants to make his basement a liveable space again. The first step in that process is to take care of the water issues, starting with fixing the driveway. We used PolyLevel foam to lift and level the cement slabs, then we sealed all the joints and cracks using NexusPro, making sure that water won't damage the driveway.
In Kearney, MO, a homeowner was tired of his driveway settling because it caused a huge bump that was rough on his car's tires. The driveway was also causing a tripping hazard when someone would try to use the front entrance walkway, so the homeowner decided to give us a call.
We sent System Design Specialist Jimmy Hungerford to inspect the tripping hazard and determine what damage it had caused as well as how to fix these issues. Jimmy say the tripping hazard and the problematic concrete slab and immediately took a look at the foundation to ensure that the home was stable. After that inspection, Jimmy explained to the homeowner that the concrete was pushing into the foundation wall of the basement, meaning that the longer the uneven concrete existed, the more likely it would caused the foundation wall to cave in. The homeowner was upset by this news, and knew that he wanted to fix his concrete immediately. We had our team start to fix this homeowner's concrete quickly by utilizing PolyLevel Foam and NexusPro Sealant to lift, level, and seal the concrete back to a height in which the foundation walls were not at risk.
The homeowner was happy with the work that was done and he was very thankful that we were able to help him catch his problem early enough that no further damage was done. Check out this homeowner's newly lifted driveway!
