The driveway was cracking so bad they thought they surely had to replace it all. Our crew lifted and leveled all broken concrete even an area that a roofing truck damaged with their level truck levers. We also found what was causing the settlement problem and buried the downspouts away from the concrete stopping the soil from being washed out.
St. Patrick's Church council members in Nevada, Iowa were concerned because the parishioners could potentially trip and fall on the concrete ledge leading to the entrance of the social hall. One of the council members recommended they call us at Thrasher Foundation Repair, so we came out to assess the problem.
We sent System Design Specialist Nick Wessling to assess what was causing this tripping hazard at the entrance. He determined that a poorly designed downspout was releasing water right next to the concrete entrance, so the water was washing out the soil underneath the concrete entrance. After discussion with the council members, Nick and his team got to work on fixing this tripping hazard. They replaced the nearby downspout with a buried downspout leading away from the concrete. Also, they utilized our 2-part Concrete Protection System which includes PolyLevel Concrete Leveling and NexusPro Cracked Concrete Repair to lift and seal the concrete entrance.
The church members were so excited when this project was done. Check out this church entrance repair!
When Bill hired someone to mudjack his walkway and front porch over a year ago, he soon realized that it was not a permanent solution. The front porch had sunk more than an inch, and water was causing erosion, leading to settling issues with several sidewalk slabs. Seeking a reliable and long-lasting fix, Bill turned to us for assistance.
Understanding the limitations of mudjacking and the need for a more durable solution, we used PolyLevel Foam instead. PolyLevel is a state-of-the-art polyurethane foam that is injected beneath sunken concrete slabs to lift and level them. By carefully applying PolyLevel to the areas of concern on Bill's front porch and sidewalk, we were able to restore their original elevation and eliminate the trip hazards caused by the sinking.
To ensure further protection against water intrusion and prevent future settlement, we applied NexusPro sealant to all the joints on the porch and along the sidewalk. NexusPro is a high-quality silicone-based sealant that forms a strong and flexible barrier, keeping water out and preventing further damage.
By utilizing PolyLevel foam and NexusPro sealant, we provided Bill with a comprehensive and long-lasting solution for his front porch and sidewalk issues. Unlike mudjacking, which proved to be a temporary fix, PolyLevel offers reliable and permanent stabilization, restoring the structural integrity of the concrete surfaces.
Bill can now enjoy a level and safe front porch, free from trip hazards, and a well-sealed sidewalk that can withstand water infiltration. Our commitment to delivering superior results ensures that Bill's investment in our services will stand the test of time.
