Your Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Expert Waukee, IA

Dan D. of Waukee, Iowa plans on staying in his home for a “long while”, and he felt it was time to do something about the concrete problems he was noticing around his home - particularly the sinking slabs in his driveway and sidewalk that not only looked bad, but also created trip hazards. After inspecting the area, our System Design Specialist presented Dan with a solution and price he liked, and so we got to work.

To lift, level and protect Dan’s driveway and sidewalk, we used a 2-part approach beginning with of our PolyLevel polyurethane foam to first fill the voids that had formed beneath the sinking slabs, returning them to level. To protect the slabs from sinking again, we sealed the concrete joints with NexusPro to prevent water from flowing freely beneath the concrete where it can cause erosion of the soil and new voids. 

The concrete slabs were extremely settled in some areas, and both Dan and our crew were very happy to see the slabs leveled again when the work was through. When asked about his experience, Dan had this to say, “I'm glad I called you guys and got on your list. I can now go to the mail box and not worry about tripping.”

These homeowners in Waukee, IA noticed their entryway steps were leaning forward and portions of their driveway needed to be leveled. They knew it was best to take care of it now before it became more expensive and turned into a potential tripping hazard. Looking for a quick and permanent solution, the homeowners gave Midwest a call.

System Design Specialist Dan King arrived on the scene to inspect the situation. It became clear to him that their downspouts were running water towards the concrete and eroding the soils underneath. This was causing the control joints to fail and allowing water to seep in. To repair the concrete, our team utilized our PolyLevel foam to lift and level the entryway. After that was completed, NexusPro was used to fill all the cracks and joints in order to permanently prevent water from causing future damage.

The homeowners were so pleased with the final results that they spread the word to all of their surrounding neighbors. They chose Midwest to provide a permanent and effective solution in a timely manner.
