Concrete Repair in Freeport, IL
Challenge
A homeowner in Freeport, IL, contacted us with a pressing issue. The concrete around their home had settled, creating uneven surfaced and dangerous trip hazards. This not only posed a safety risk for residents and visitors but also detracted from the home's curb appeal. The homeowner needed a reliable and long-lasting solution to lift, level, and seal these problematic areas without the disruption and expense of traditional concrete replacement.
Solution
One of our experienced System Design Specialists assessed the situation and recommended a comprehensive approach utilizing two of our advanced systems: PolyLevel and NexusPro. We began by injecting our high-density polyurethane foam, PolyLevel, beneath the settled concrete slabs. this material expands rapidly, filling voids and gently lifting the concrete back to its original, level position. The process is quick, minimally invasive, and provides a durable, long-lasting lift. Once the concrete was lifted and leveled, we applied NexusPro, our silicone-based joint sealant. This flexible, durable sealant was used to fill and seal cracks and control joints in the concrete. NexusPro is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, resist UV rays, and prevent water infiltration, which can cause future settling and damage. Its application ensures a complete and long lasting repair, protecting the newly leveled concrete.
The combination of PolyLevel and NexusPro successfully eliminated the trip hazards, restored the aesthetic appeal of the concrete surfaces, and provided a long-term solution to prevent future settling and cracking. The homeowner was thrilled with the efficiency of the repair and the immediate improvement in safety and appearance around their home.
