Concrete Stairs Get a Lift in Oelwein, IA

Joe and Carolyn of Oelwein, IA, had begun to notice that the stairs and adjoining porch in front of their home were beginning to sink. The couple was worried that if the problem was left unresolved, the gap forming between the stairs and the home would only worsen, creating a bigger trip hazard and a bigger, and more expensive, problem to fix later down the road. They came across our services and decided to get in contact with us to see what could be done. When they called in, set them up with one of our FREE estimates, and our Design Specialist, Tim, was able to go out to the property and do a thorough inspection. Once he concluded, he was able to inform Joe and Carolyn that they were experiencing this issue because the soil beneath the slabs was sinking because of excess rain or heat, causing the soil to shrink. He recommended the couple fix the issue quickly to avoid any further issues down the line. He recommended they use our PolyLevel injection to raise the concrete back to its former state and follow up with our NexusPro to seal the joints connecting the slab and the home and to seal off any remaining holes or points of entry for water. Our Foreman, Jake, and his crew began the project by strategically drilling holes into the problem concrete slabs. Next, they injected the foam into the holes, paying close attention to the slab as it was lifted. Finally, they sealed off any remaining holes with the NexusPro. 

When the job was complete, Joe and Carolyn were happy they no longer had to worry about trip hazards forming!
