This homeowner was struggling because his driveway was pushing against his garage floor, making both his garage floor and his driveway uneven. He was worried that he would have to completely replace his driveway concrete, but he wanted an expert opinion before he found someone to replace the concrete, so he gave us a call.
We sent System Design Specialist James Denning to inspect the driveway and determine what solution would be better than replacing the driveway's concrete. James found that street creep was effecting the driveway as it was putting pressure on the garage floor and eventually this would expand to pressure on the foundation. While this problem was concerning to the homeowner, James explained a custom solution that would prevent street creep from hurting the home. Our installation team came out to the home and got to work first on using PolyLevel foam and NexusPro sealant to lift, level, and seal the driveway to restore the driveway from the pressure that was against it. After that, our team installed Compression Guard to act as a buffer between the driveway and the street, ensuring that the driveway was safe from the street pressuring it in the future.
The homeowner was very happy with these solutions, especially since he thought that he was going to spend thousands of dollars on completely replacing his concrete, just for the same problem to happen again. Check out the driveway transformation!
This homeowner was frustrated as her concrete had been undermined by chipmunks and rainwater that washed out the soil underneath the concrete. She had enough of these struggles, so she called us.
We sent System Design Specialist Nick Wessling to inspect the unique concrete problem and answer all questions that this homeowner had. Nick determined that the voids underneath the concrete created by the eroding soil and chipmunk areas led to the concrete breaking and settling over an inch. The homeowner was impressed with this assessment and wanted to complete this project with us. Nick and his team used PolyLevel Concrete Leveling and NexusPro Cracked Concrete Repair to raise the settled concrete and seal it off from water or chipmunks getting into the joints of the concrete.
The homeowner was very excited with the final result as she wanted to do this project for a while. Check our her concrete restoration!
We recently had the opportunity to help Jan with her sunken concrete steps. We were able to restore her steps to their original position and stability with Polylevel. This happens by injecting polyurethane foam beneath the concrete through tiny ports, no larger than a penny. It starts off flowing like water, so it fills even the tiniest spots in the soil. As the foam expands and hardens, it lifts the slab and compresses the surrounding soil. Thanks to the fast drying time of PolyLevel, Jan was able to use her steps on the same day. At Thrasher Foundation Repair, we are committed to delivering high-quality foundation repair services that exceed our customers' expectations.
Craig W. wanted to repair and protect his driveway before the sinking and cracking he was noticing got worse. To do this, we used a 3-part concrete protection solution that started with lifting and leveling his sinking slabs. Next we sealed the joints between the slabs to prevent water from seeping beneath the slabs where it could erode away the supporting soil. Next, we applied a concrete sealant over the driveway to protect it from the normal wear and tear that chips away at concrete and shortens its lifespan. We also installed an expansion joint to relieve pressure between the street and the driveway slabs to prevent future cracking. Craig was very happy with the results, and felt good knowing that his driveway would be protected in the years ahead.
Matthew B. reached out to Thrasher Foundation Repair because he noticed his walkway had big cracks that would be a potential tripping hazard for his children. He chose Thrasher Foundation Repair because he knew we were a reliable company and wanted to get the work done quickly.
We sent System Design Specialist Tyler Paulson out to inspect. We ended up lifting and leveling the concrete with our Polylevel system. The Polylevel concrete leveling system was the perfect option for this job because it's waterproof, cures quickly, and will efficiently fill cracks and crevices in the soil. After leveling, we then sealed up the controlled joints with our Nexus Pro to prevent any water and rocks getting into the joints. Matthew was so happy with our work and timeliness that he started thinking of other areas we can come back out and help fix.
