Concrete Lip Lifted in Ottumwa, IA

This homeowner was tired of hitting the joints on the concrete while removing snow in the winter. He wanted his driveway to look nice and be easy to shovel for the coming winter, so he decided to give us a call regarding his concrete.

We sent System Design Specialist Luke Miller to inspect the concrete joints an determine where we could help to smooth the concrete. Luke noticed that a couple sections of the driveway had settled slightly, causing a lip that would catch a snow blower or shovel, and also cause a tripping hazard down the road. After discussing this issue with the homeowner, they went ahead and scheduled an installation appointment to get the homeowner's concrete fixed. One of our concrete installation teams came to this home and lifted the settled slabs using PolyLevel foam. The team was able to bring the concrete back to its original location and keep it stabilized. Next, our team sealed the cracks and joints of the concrete using NexusPro sealant to ensure that the driveway looked nice, and to also prevent water or any other material from getting caught in the concrete's joints and cracks. 

The homeowner was very excited with the way that his concrete turned out and he really liked to see it level again. Check out this homeowner's newly leveled concrete!

Shifting Concrete in Parkersburg, IA Stabilized with NexusPro Joint Sealant

Rodney M. was tired of having snow shovel catch during the winter months and he noticed the shape of his concrete was starting to decline. Looking for a solution to prevent further damage from occurring he brought up his concerns during an annual maintenance call with Service Tech Brandon Rost, who was able to identify and provide a one-step solution for Rodney’s needs.

Brandon was able to pinpoint that the concrete drive and sidewalks were impacted by unsealed joints which were causing voids to form allowing water to enter. We were able to provide a permanent solution using NexusPro Joint Sealant, as well as a hydrophobic poly to stabilize the voids and prevent further movement. After we completed the work not only was Rodney happy with how fast the project came along but he also noticed an impact on visuals and aesthetics of his home!

Concrete Repair in Cedar Falls, IA

Kyle kept tripping on his walkway and driveway. Plus running a snowplow over settled concrete was the worst. So he contacted Thrasher Foundation Repair and liked our solution. Todd King, our System Design Specialist, went out to Kyle's home to see how we could help. 

A few of Kyle's slabs had a lot of voids underneath the concrete, which is what made them sink. His sidewalk was also experiencing settled slabs due to the soil around it. 

To fix this, we used our Concrete Protection System 3. This involves lifting the areas that had fallen with PolyLevel, sealing all the joints and cracks with NexusPro, and then we applied SealantPro to the entire area to prolong the concrete's life and keep water and chemicals from penetrating the concrete.

Kyle was so happy with the final result and best of all, no more tripping hazards!

Concrete Repair Before it Gets Worse in Cedar Falls, IA

Our customer had tripping issues in his walkway. A few slabs were sinking down in the driveway and he also had a lot of voids under the concrete.  He didn't want to let the problem get worse because he planned to live there for another 10-15 years. To fix this, we used the Polylevel to fill the voids under the concrete and lift it to its original position. We also sealed all of the joints and cracks to prevent issues like this in the future.
