Your Dependable Inver Grove Heights, MN Structural Repair & Concrete Raising

In Inver Grove Heights, MN, a homeowner had noticed a large gap and crack forming along the concrete slabs in front of their home. Knowing it is a trip hazard, the homeowner began looking into concrete repair in the area. After finding us and becoming impressed by our Google reviews and concrete repair before and after photos, the homeowner knew we would be the right company for their concrete repair project. They soon contacted our Appointment Center to schedule their FREE estimate with one of our experts.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Gary S., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection. During the inspection, he took a close look at the concrete slabs, taking precise measurements to see how far it has sunken and noting which needed lifting. He also noticed signs of soil washout and explained to the homeowner that it is the process where water moves through the ground and washes away the supporting soils of the slabs. Over time, gaps and voids are created, and the slabs begin to sink, and cracks are common to see. After reporting his findings to the homeowner, Gary began working on a detailed solution that was within their budget. To lift the uneven slabs back to their original position, Gary recommended installing PolyLevel, our poly foam expanding solution designed to lift uneven slabs, and to repair the cracks and seal the joints with NexusPro, our silicone-based sealant. Confident in our team, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Dylon V., and his crew arrived at the home to lift the slabs. The crew began by drilling small holes into the concrete slabs that needed lifting and inserting the injection ports. Then, PolyLevel is injected beneath the slabs, filling in the gaps in the soil. Once the slabs have been lifted to the desired height and have been leveled, the crew seals the holes. In about a week, our Foreman, Ryan T., and his crew arrived at the home to seal the joints and repair the cracks with NexusPro. After the quick installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

They installed the plates onto the ends of the rods and tightened them. Then, they replaced the concrete and the soil. The installation took a couple of days, but since our anchors are backed by a lifetime warranty, Robert has peace of mind that his foundation protected for the long-term.
