Concrete Hole Repair in Minnetonka, MN
After evaluating the area, the team used the PolyLevel® system to lift and stabilize the sunken concrete before repairing and filling the hole. A protective sealant was then applied to help defend the surface against harsh Minnesota weather conditions and ensure long-lasting durability and safety.
Challenge
A homeowner in Minnetonka, MN called DBS with the problem of a troublesome concrete hole outside of their garage. Holes similar to this can develop from the foundation or concrete shifting. Many times it becomes unlevel or sinks with time, eventually leading to more problems. It’s important to address all the residential problems that arise, but DBS can work with you to create a plan of action and fix situations similar to this. Upon arrival, we established a proposal to repair the concrete hole for this home in Minnetonka. he damage was caused by soil movement and concrete settlement over time, creating a potential safety hazard and risking further structural issues.
Solution
DBS was able to come see the problem, look at the concrete to determine why there was a hole, and find a solution. The client needed a few services from DBS to create a safe area around the garage and maintain the home from further concrete problems. First, the home needed a lift & level for uneven exterior concrete. Movement in the concrete can often create problems that lead to cracking, holes, and more within the home and foundation. DBS uses PolyLevel service to level the concrete. Then, we can go ahead and fill the hole with concrete. We use a sealant after to make sure our services are maintained throughout the hot summers and cold winters, so we can keep the home safe and level.
