The journey toward a safer home began when the customer reached out to our office. Our friendly Customer Care Specialist promptly scheduled a comprehensive, on-site home evaluation with one of our seasoned professionals.

 

Chris Hebbel, our expert System Design Specialist, arrived to assess the damage. After a thorough evaluation of the grading, the void beneath the concrete, and the extent of the drop, Chris knew exactly what was needed. The diagnosis called for a modern approach to concrete leveling: PolyLevel®.

PolyLevel is the true superhero of the concrete restoration industry. Unlike traditional mudjacking, which relies on heavy, messy grout mixtures that can sink further over time, PolyLevel utilizes a high-strength, lightweight polyurethane foam. The process is elegant and highly effective: technicians drill tiny, pea-sized holes directly into the sunken slab, then inject the liquid polyurethane beneath it. As the foam undergoes a chemical reaction, it expands rapidly, filling voids, stabilizing the subgrade, and precisely lifting the heavy concrete slab back into its original, level position.

 

With the customized design plan finalized by Chris, our proficient production crew rolled up their sleeves and headed to Walcott. Led by Foreman Justin Maddox and supported by dedicated crew member Tanner, the team arrived armed with diligence, specialized equipment, and a commitment to perfection.

Justin and Tanner swiftly executed the tried-and-true PolyLevel installation process. Working cleanly and meticulously, they monitored the lift to the millimeter, ensuring the walkway seamlessly met the front threshold once again. Within a matter of minutes, the hazardous, sloped concrete was transformed back into a perfectly level, rock-solid walkway.

 

True to our company standards, the job wasn't finished just because the concrete was level. Upon concluding the injection, Justin and Tanner meticulously cleaned the workspace, filling and sealing the tiny injection holes to blend in beautifully, leaving the property even cleaner than they found it. To the relieved homeowner, they felt less like a construction crew and more like "concrete guardian angels."

 

Today, the once-troubled front entrance in Walcott, IA stands level, sturdy, and reliable. The homeowner can finally step confidently through the front door, entirely safe from unwanted slips, trips, or falls.

 

By pairing the right technology with an exceptional team—from Chris's strategic evaluation to Justin and Tanner's precise execution—we didn't just restore the functionality of a concrete slab. Above all, we provided a remarkable, stress-free experience to a cherished customer, proving that when it comes to structural stability, we always have it completely nailed (or rather, injected!).
