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
Uneven, cracked concrete can make a significant impact on your home's curb appeal and value. Sinking concrete can cause liability issues as a serious falling hazard. PolyLevel was the perfect solution for these sinking steps, giving the customer a new safe place to walk.
This customer in Audubon, IA has been in the home since it was built and was planning on being there forever. Over the years he has noticed his steps starting to sink and crack as well as spots in his garage cracking. Wanting to keep his home in good condition and safe for him as he gets older, he decided to get these issues fixed.
Upon inspection, our crew noticed many spots around his home had begun to settle causing the cracks and settling of his steps. This was caused by the soil underneath his concrete slabs being washed out. The team decided the best solution for this problem was to use PolyLevel foam to fill the voids and bring the concrete back into its original place. This foam also compacts the soil around the slabs, creating a stable environment that will ensure the garage floor and other slabs remain level for years to come.
This family noticed that their driveway concrete slabs were sinking, cracking and getting worse. Beneath their driveway, water from rain and melting snow was gradually washing away the soil that supported the concrete slabs, allowing them to sink into voids and crack under its own weight. Fortunately the homeowners called Thrasher while the problem could still be repaired, and we injected Polylevel polyurethane foam beneath the slabs to lift, level and provide the necessary support. Now the homeowners have the peace of mind that comes from knowing their concrete won't be hurting their curb appeal.
These homeowners lived in their home for 20 years, and they decided they wanted to move in the next couple of months. While they were excited about moving and starting their new adventure, they were not prepared for the stress of selling their current home. Their home was in great condition, however their backyard concrete path was in a rough condition. They wanted to get the true worth of the home, and they were concerned that their concrete problem would hurt that, so they decided to give us a call.
We sent System Design Specialist Brandon Powers to inspect the concrete and determine which places were best to lift the concrete back to an even level. Brandon identified that soil erosion caused the concrete to settle, so after looking into the locations in which the concrete had settled the most, he was able to call out a team to come lift, level, and seal the concrete. Our team used PolyLevel foam and NexusPro sealant to repair their backyard walkway.
The homeowners were very pleased with the work that was done and they are relieved to have one less stressor in selling their home. Check out their newly leveled concrete!
