Cracked Garage Floor Repaired in Apple Valley, MN

A homeowner in Apple Valley, MN was concerned when she noticed the cracks along her garage floor have grown. Worried it would be a trip hazard to her family, she decided to search for "cracked concrete garage repair" and found our website. After browsing our website, she was impressed with our before and after transformations and decided to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Mitch S., arrived at the home to inspect the garage and walkway. He noticed that the front steps of the walkway had begun sinking and provided a solution for the homeowner. Mitch recommended our PolyLevel to lift the garage flooring and the walkway as well as our NexusPro to seal the joints and repair the cracks. After reviewing Mitch's proposal the homeowner decided to move forward with the project. 

In about two months, our Foreman, Troy J, and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They lifted the concrete by drilling small holes into the concrete slap and placing the injection ports. PolyLevel is then injected beneath the slab, filling in the space between the soil. Once the slab has been lifted, the crew ensures it is level before sealing the holes with concrete. Lastly, the crew used NexusPro along the joints of the walkway and to repair the cracks in the garage. Both PolyLevel and NexusPro are highly durable and last a long time. After the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Now, our customer has a smooth garage and walkway! Have you noticed cracks or uneven concrete? Click HERE and schedule your FREE estimate today!

Sinking Concrete Walkway Transformed in Mahtomedi, MN

A homeowner from Mahtomedi, MN, noticed that his concrete walkway was showing signs of sinking. His front walkway had almost completely separated from the foundation of his home and had created a trip hazard. Not wanting to compromise safety any longer, he decided to take action. After receiving one of our printed ads in the mail, he decided to set up his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Gary S, headed out to the home. 

Once Gary finished his inspection, he informed the homeowner that we could address the sinking concrete with the help of our PolyLevel method. PolyLevel is a dense, polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath sinking concrete slabs. It works to fill voids left over by soil erosion and slowly lifts the slabs back into place. He went on to say that our lifts are completed with the installation of our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant, NexusPro gets applied to all the cracks and joints in the sinking concrete and works to prevent water or debris from getting below the slab. The homeowner liked the sound of Gary's solution and decided to schedule his installation for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Sam K, and his team completed the lift and seal with no complications. Now our customer can enjoy his tree-free concrete!

Sump Pump Saves Basement in Saint Paul, MN

A Saint Paul, MN, homeowner was facing a unique issue. Each time it rained, he could see water entering through a corner of his basement, creating a small puddle. The homeowner didn't want that small puddle to turn into a larger issue, so he decided to contact a reputable basement waterproofing company in MN. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our. Design Specialist, Derek V, headed out to the home. 

When Derek arrived, he got right to work inspecting every inch of the basement. When he concluded, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Derek explained that water problems commonly occur in the corner of the room and that the homeowner was right to call when he did. Derek wanted to use two of our products to address the water intrusion. First, he recommended our WaterGuard drain, explaining that it's the most effective way to stop basement flooding. The WaterGuard is a French drain that is designed to be installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing. Because of its placement, the drain stays out of the "mud zone" where other drains tend to clog. It works to catch water entering through the floor, directing it to the appropriate disposal site, which Derek wanted to be our SuperSump plus. Our SuperSump sump pump is an effective and economical solution to combat water intrusion. It's engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods, even in times of heavy water intrusion. It boasts a powerful Zoeller 1/3 horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The homeowner liked the sound of the two products working together, and decided to schedule her project for some time later. 

When the day of the project rolled around, our team, led by their Foreman, Victor S, effortlessly installed 100ft of WaterGuard, and 1 SumpSump sump pump in the basement. Now, our customer can enjoy the rain without worries that it will end up in his basement!
