Photo Album: Extremely Damaged Concrete Fixed in Waukee, IA
With a long-term plan of staying in the house, Dan prioritized both the aesthetic appeal and the mitigation of trip hazards. Specifically, he sought assistance for a settled section of the driveway, as well as a portion of the sidewalk, along with voids present in other areas of the driveway. Dan also expressed his decision to select our services based on our ability to provide a prompt and cost-effective solution to his concerns.
To address these issues, we utilized a proven method known as Polylevel. This process involved raising and leveling the settled areas of the driveway, restoring them to their original position. Additionally, we implemented a comprehensive two-part system to ensure the stability of the remaining driveway. By combining Polylevel with the application of Nexus Pro, a high-quality sealant, we were able to provide a durable and long-lasting solution.
By utilizing PolyLevel and Nexus Pro, we not only resolved the immediate concerns of settled areas and voids in Dan's driveway but also took proactive measures to prevent future issues. Our approach not only addressed the aesthetic aspect of the project but also prioritized the safety of the driveway, eliminating potential trip hazards.
Before: Damaged
One of the primary reasons for sidewalk issues is the movement of the soil underneath. Soil can shift and settle over time due to factors like erosion, changes in moisture content, or the natural compaction of soil layers. When the soil beneath a sidewalk moves or settles unevenly, it can cause the concrete to sink or crack.
Before: Tripping Hazard
In many states, if a pedestrian injures themselves as a result of a poorly kept sidewalk on your property, you may be held liable.
After: Much Better
PolyLevel is a foam that is strong enough to fill the voids in the soil and support the concert slabs enough to bring them back to their original positon.
After: NexusPro
NexusPro is a sealant that fills the joints between slabs and protects them from future damage by keeping water out and stopping the moving slabs from colliding.
After: Keeping Visitors Safe on Your Property
Now, they can rest easy knowing you've adequately protected themselves and other's from a poorly maintained sidewalk.
