Broken Concrete Walkway Gets Repaired in Inver Grove Heights, MN

A homeowner from Inver Grove Heights, MN, was stuck in a conundrum over her front walkway concrete. It had cracked, creating a giant trip hazard and eye-sore. The homeowner knew that if she let the problem worsen, she may have no choice but to fully replace and re-pour the concrete. Not wanting the cost, mess, and hassle of pouring a new walkway, she decided to search for alternate remedies. Upon recommendation from home improvement websites, she decided to give us a call and claim her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Mitch S, headed out to the home to complete his inspection. 

Once Mitch concluded his walk-through, he met with the homeowner to give her his recommendation. He informed her that while installing new concrete was an option, so was lifting and leveling the slab with our PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that expands when it is injected beneath concrete, filling voids left by soil erosion and slowly lifting the concrete back to its desired spot. Mitch went on to say that we finished all of our concrete lifting projects with NexusPro. A silicone-base sealant, NexusPro gets applied to all joints and cracks in the concrete to prevent any unwanted elements from penetrating the slab and protecting it from further sinking. The homeowner needed some time to think about the right choice for her family. A few weeks later, she called back and got her project with us scheduled. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jordan S, and his team made quick work of the installation, carefully monitoring the lifting process to ensure the slab returned to its original resting spot. Once the job was done, our customer was thrilled to know she no longer needed to worry about a cracked walkway!
