Cracked Walkway Gets Lifted in Minnetonka, MN

A Minnetonka, MN, homeowner had been dealing with a sinking front walkway for a while, but the issue had gotten worse in the last year. The extreme soil washout below had caused a void to form below the slab, leading to the eventual crack of the concrete slab. This crack had resulted in a nasty trip hazard. The homeowner didn't want any guests or family members to take a tumble over the uneven concrete so he decided to take action. The homeowners had American Waterworks out to their homes to deal with an issue in previous years, so they called us up again to see if someone could come take a look at the concrete. 

A few weeks later, their original Design Specialist, Brian R, headed out to the home. Brian explained that we could address the sinking concrete with the help of our PolyLevel. He explained that PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath sinking concrete slabs. It fills voids left by soil erosion, and slowly lifts the sunken slabs back to their original position. Brian went on to say that he wanted to preserve the lift with the installation of our NexusPro, stating that NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant that gets applied to cracks and joints in the concrete. It has been specially designed to stand up against harsh weather conditions, ensuring the lift is protected. The homeowner liked the sound of Brian's plan and scheduled the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Troy J, and his team effortlessly completed the lift and seal. Now, our customer can have faith in his front walkway again!
