Brad and Lisa S. are proud homeowners in Waukee, IA and noticed concrete of their entryway was beginning to lean forward away from the home. In addition, the driveway was lacking the protection it needed to survive the test of the time. The couple wanted to take care of these issues before they became more expensive over time and became a potential tripping hazard for their guests. In order to find a quick and permanent solution, Brad and Lisa reached out to Midwest to inquire about the variety of solutions we offer.
To begin the project, System Design Specialist Dan King arrived at the Waukee, IA home to perform a thorough inspection on the problematic concrete. It was clear the down spouts were pushing water towards the concrete and eroding the soils underneath causing it to lean. As a result, the control joints were beginning to fail and allowing water to seep in. Our teams began repairing the concrete by installing our PolyLevel foam to lift and level the leaning concrete. They followed this up by applying NexusPro to all cracks and joints to permanently prevent water from entering and causing future damage.
Brad and Lisa S. couldn’t have been more pleased with the appearance and effectiveness of the solutions we provided. They immediately recommended Midwest to all their neighbors for any concrete needs.

The customer's concrete driveway was settling more than 3 inches next to the house and caused a lot of issues both functionally and aesthetically. The failing concrete was causing the brick facade to begin falling.
To fix this, we used PolyLevel to lift and level the concrete the full 3 inches, enough to put the facade back in place. This was then followed by Nexus pro to seal the joints and concrete for additional protection.
After this customer's concrete repair work, we got down to the source of the problem. Water from this exposed downspout was pooling up near the concrete and home's foundation. We buried the downspout to better move rain water away from the home.
This homeowner was concerned about her cracked concrete because it was a tripping hazard. Using PolyLevel expanding foam we were able to lift and level the settled areas of the concrete. Now this sidewalk is no longer a tripping hazard.
