From Sinking to Supported
The soil goes through changes. When it rains, the soil soaks up water and expands. But when it's dry, it shrinks. This shrinkage makes gaps in the ground. So, the heavy concrete on top doesn't have enough support, and that leads to cracks and sinking into those gaps.
This can be a big problem, especially in busy places like a patio where people can trip. The good news is, we have a solution! We inject a structural foam under the concrete to fill those gaps and give the concrete the support it needs.
Concrete in Altoona, IA is Lifted and Sealed
Chris and Meghan S. were getting ready to put their home on the market. They were concerned that buyers would be concerned with the concrete on their driveway. Looking for a long-term solution that would get rid of any hesitation, they decided to call Midwest.
System Design Specialist Dan King went out to their home and was able to identify that the walkway was settling unevenly all the way up to the front door. There was also a broken area in the bottom of the driveway that needed to be lifted and leveled. The side slabs also had large voids underneath that needed to be closed. The crew applied PolyLevel to lift and level the settled concrete and fill the voids. Then we used NexusPro Joint Sealant to make sure all of the joints were sealed. Chris and Meghan were thrilled with the final look of the concrete!

Pool Deck Sinking Fixed in Altoona, IA
This homeowner was concerned because his pool deck was sinking. He knew that we offered services to fix this problem in his area, so he gave us a call. We sent System Design Specialist Brandon Cunningham to inspect the pool deck and determine what was causing this problem as well as determine what solutions our team could offer to fix it. Brandon found that the soil underneath the pool deck was poorly compacted, so the soil had washed out then dried up overtime. After his inspection, he discussed with the homeowner the solutions we could offer, and the homeowner was very excited to have this problem fixed. One of our installation teams went our to this home and utilized PolyLevel foam and NexusPro sealant to lift, level, and seal the pool deck. The homeowner was super happy with the way it turned out, and now he can enjoy his pool this summer! Check out the newly leveled pool deck!
