This homeowner wanted to fix his concrete because it was a tripping hazard he wanted to protect his grandson from. He had heard of our reputation for great concrete repairs, so he gave us a call.
We sent System Design Specialist Jesse White to inspect the driveway and discover what was causing this tripping hazard. Jesse found that the concrete was settling due to unstable soil underneath it, and this was allowing for cracks to form. After discussing options to solve this with the homeowner, we sent a team out to repair the homeowner's driveway right away. Our team utilized PolyLevel foam and NexusPro sealant to lift, level, and seal the concrete so that the tripping hazard was gone.
The homeowner was very surprised at how we could lift and repair his concrete. He was so excited that we could do this for him. Check out the concrete transformation!
Brock wanted the concrete raised around his home. He knew that the uneven slabs were tripping hazards, and didn't like the curb appeal of his concrete. The concrete was settling in different directions, which was caused by soil settlement over time. The joints of the concrete were also not sealed, allowing rain and moisture to penetrate beneath the concrete causing further settling and cracking. After the initial inspection, and proposal, Brock noticed more settling around the backside of his home. He was able to call our System Design Specialist, Brock, to talk about another solution to the new settlement in the back.
For this project, PolyLevel foam was used. PolyLevel foam works better than mudjacking, as the foam compacts the soil beneath, while lifting the existing concrete slabs. NexusPro was then used to seal the joints, to prevent rain and moisture from getting under the concrete. All of our concrete projects are backed with a 5-year warranty. Brock can now rest easy that his concrete won't cause tripping hazards any longer.
Ann C. is a rental homeowner in Towanda, KS and was concerned with the concrete surrounding the home becoming a safety issue for her tenants. Specifically, two slabs next to the stoop of the house that had settled forming a funnel for water to flow underneath. In addition to the safety concern, Ann was worried about the water seeping underneath the stoop and damaging the foundation. Ann has relied on Thrasher’s solutions in the past, and she didn’t hesitate to call for us to repair her concrete needs.
The project began with our System Design Specialist, Sheldon Sharp, arriving at the Towanda, KS home to inspect the sunken concrete. Sheldon discovered that water was entering the concrete through the cracks and washing out the soil creating severe settlement. To repair this, Ann chose to have Thrasher install our 2-Part Concrete Protection System. The team began by injecting our PolyLevel concrete lifting foam underneath the concrete to level and stabilize it. To prevent future water damage, NexusPro sealer was then applied to all cracks and control joints. The combination of these two products permanently restores the concrete and guarantees it will stand the test of time.
Ann was thrilled with the appearance and effectiveness of our concrete protection services. Thrasher was not only able to restore the concrete, but also Ann’s peace of mind knowing her tenants are safe and the foundation of the home is protected.
Marcy H. is a homeowner in Augusta, KS, and was ready to restore her patio concrete to make it a more usable space. Over time, the Midwest climate had created severe cracks on the surface and caused multiple areas to settle. Searching for a permanent solution, she called Thrasher because of our reputation and dedication to providing the best repair.
To begin the concrete leveling project, System Design Specialist Jon Grover visited the home in Augusta, KS, and met with Marcie to discuss possible solutions. She opted to have Thrasher install our 2-part concrete protection system to lift, level, and protect her broken concrete. The protection system begins with our PolyLevel concrete lifting foam. It is injected beneath the concrete slabs to level the surface. NexusPro was then applied to seal the large cracks to prevent any water from seeping through in the future.
Marcy was delighted with our concrete repair solutions and our team's display of professionalism. She is now able to use her patio safely with a restored peace of mind.
