Before & After Photos

There was a crack in the concrete of this customer's sidewalk and they wanted it fixed so that it would stop being an eye-sore. The Ayers team fixed a concrete crack by injecting a special foam called PolyLevel into it. They drilled small holes along the crack and pumped in the foam, which expands to fill gaps and raise sunken parts of the concrete. After the foam hardened, they sealed the holes with NexusPro, completing the repair and making the concrete strong and even again.

When we got a call from Randy in South Haven, MI that the concrete around his swimming pool is starting to become unlevel, we knew exactly what we had to do: PolyLevel Injections. The "Before" photo that you see on the left shows a zoomed in photo of one slab of concrete, however there were multiple slabs that were in need of PolyLevel injections. One of the many advantages of our PolyLevel injections is that it is waterproof. Once cured, PolyLevel will not wash away. This is especially important being right beside a pool. Another advantage of our PolyLevel is that it cures extremely fast. Within 15-30 minutes after being raised, it will have already reached at least 90% of its strength, therefore it can be used as it normally would very shortly after the job has been completed.

We received a call from Tom in South Haven saying that his driveway has been sinking. After going out to Tom's house and looking at the driveway, we knew that it was in desperate need of some PolyLevel injections. As you can see in the "Before" photo, the driveway is well below its original position.

Our PolyLevel injections harness the expansive force of a structural grade geopolymer to provide fast concrete leveling, fill voids in soil, as well as strengthening soil that has poor load-bearing qualities.

The polymer consists of two separate liquids that are combined right at the injection nozzle to create a chemical reaction that turns the blended ingredients into expanding, high-density foam. The foam then flows into any voids that are present and between loose soil particles, expanding to about 15 times its original volume. This expansive action effectively lifts settled concrete.

One thing that goes over well with our system is that the process is extremely quick. It only takes about 15 minutes to cure, and at that point it’s ready for full loading. So if Tom needed to use his driveway, he would just have to wait about 15 minutes, and after that the polylevel is cured and the driveway is ready to handly any type of weight.

Tyler W. was looking for a permanent solution for the settled sidewalk outside of his home. The sidewalk settled because of weak soils beneath the concrete slabs, and without an effective fix, the issue would continue to worsen over time. We used the specialized polymers in the PolyLevel system to raise and level the sunken slabs. The polymers were injected into the concrete and then expanded to lift it back to its proper level. With its quick 15-minute cure time and neutral color that matches most concrete shades, this system was an ideal solution for Tyler.

Scott and Lori have settled concrete in the driveway, front porch, and back porch. They were painting the exterior and updating the home so they wanted to add concrete repair to their list of fixes. PolyLevel was used to lift and level the sunken concrete. To seal the cracks and joints of the concrete, we used NexusPro Joint Sealant. Both cure in a short amount of time so the process won't be an inconvenience to the homeowners!
