Before & After Photos

Jill from St. Charles, MN, gave us a call when she began to notice that the stairs in front of her home were beginning to sink, creating a gap between the concrete stairs and the slab below. She was afraid that if she didn't address the issue she would run the risk of a tripping hazard forming, potentially costing more to fix later down the road. When she called in she was able to use her FREE estimate, which entitled her to a 3-hour inspection into the issue by one of our Design Specialists from our concrete and radon division. Once he arrived at the property he did his walkthrough, and when completed, made recommendations as to how we could help Jill. Our Design Specialists wanted to use our PolyLevel to lift and level the slab. He explained to Jill that our PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that, when injected below a concrete slab, fills the gaps caused by soil erosion and raises and stabilizes the concrete surface. To finish the project, he recommended Jill allow us to use our NexusPro joint and crack sealant. He informed Jill that our NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions, ensuring that your concrete will be kept safe from unwanted moisture. Jill gave the green light and work began shortly after. Our Production crew, led by Foreman Ben K., began the process by strategically drilling holes into the concrete slabs, and then injected the foam into the holes. They closely monitored the lifting and leveling process to ensure that the slab returned to its former state. To finish the project, they went over all cracks and joints between the house and the concrete with our NexusPro. When the work had been completed, Jill was happy to know that the potential tripping hazard had been dealt with.

A homeowner in Charles City, IA was worried about his front walkway space after he noticed how some of the sunken slabs that made up the walkway could be a trip hazard. Not wanting anyone to deal with the hazard if it was left alone, he went online in search of a solution. He looked up concrete repair companies in his area and found the American Waterworks company website. Our PolyLevel foam and FREE no-obligation estimates were intriguing to him, so he signed up for his own to learn more from one of our experts. We sent over our Design Specialist, Brady Swenson, to the home to inspect the concrete and develop a plan for repairs. Brady explained that our PolyLevel was the perfect product to restore the space and eliminate the hazards, so the homeowner agreed to the installation. Later, our Foreman, Patrick Burnes, and his crew went to the site and injected the PolyLevel to lift the concrete back up. They also sealed the joints with NexusPro sealant for a smooth finish that the homeowner was very happy with.

A homeowner in Charles City, IA, knew it was about time to schedule their Annual Maintenance Appointment. The homeowner called our Service Department and signed up for their annual appointment. Once the appointment was set, we sent one of our Service Technicians, Clay, to the home to inspect the home's current waterproofing system. In addition to inspecting the current waterproofing system, the homeowner hoped to have their concrete patio inspected. Once Clay completed the indoor waterproofing inspection, the homeowner showed him the struggling patio. Clay found that the patio was sinking due to settlement and recommended lifting the patio using PolyLevel. Wanting to solve the issue, the homeowner agreed with Clay's recommendations, and the plans were sent to our Logistics team to complete the job. After the project was built, it was assigned to our Foreman, Patrick, and his crew to complete. Patrick and his crew traveled to Charles City to start the project. Following their arrival, Patrick and his crew started by lifting the patio using PolyLevel, our polyurethane foam injection solution. After the patio was lifted, the crew shifted their focus to taking out the old joints and replacing them with the NexusPro Joint Sealant, a silicone-based solution. As soon as all the joints were repaired, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the excellent, quick work completed by Patrick and his crew.
