Concrete Patio Lifted in Winona, MN

In Winona, MN, a homeowner was looking for a way to spruce up the front of her home. Over the years, her concrete patio in the front of her home had begun sinking. It was pulling away from the foundation of the home, and had become uneven in various placing, leading to dangerous trip hazards and standing water. The homeowner was curious as to what caused concrete slab sink, so she asked her Service Technician, Sam V, at her Annual Maintenance visit. Sam explained that concrete sink occurs when the soil below the foundation is weakened. Excess rain can wash soil out, extreme heat can dry soil up and shrink it, or the soil could have been poorly compacted before the concrete was poured. Sam went on to say that American Waterworks could repair concrete sink using our PolyLevel injection. Poly level is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected below concrete slabs, lifting the slab back into place as it expands, filling voids left by soil erosion. Sam went on to say that he would recommend following the lift up with our NexusPro, a silicone-based joint sealant specially designed to stand up against harsh weather conditions, UV rays, and shifting concrete to defend the vulnerable soil below. Sam showed the homeowner before and after concrete repair images, and answered other questions she had about the process. When she was satisfied, the two worked together to set a date for installation. 

On the day of the project our Foreman, Pat B, and his Co-Foreman lifted the concrete back into place, sealed the joints and cracks, and restored our customers curb appeal.
