Sidewalk Concrete Repair in Mountain Iron, MN
Challenge
Our customer called DBS looking to repair the concrete sidewalk in front of their home in Mountain Iron, MN. The sidewalk had sunk approximately 20-25 feet, the sidewalk sinking was causing water to collect in near their porch. A sinking sidewalk can occur for quite a few reasons, but the repair is crucial, especially because the sidewalk sinking was causing more problems beyond that. A sinking sidewalk within 20-25 feet is a big drop that needs to be addressed for safety and to prevent other problems building off this one, but the water damage coming onto the porch and running down can create more problems with water damage, rotting, water pooling, and more. It was important for these customers to reach out to DBS for this repair.
Solution
DBS went to see the concrete problem at the home, Rich Johnsen worked with our customers and came to the conclusion that a lift & level for the uneven exterior concrete was needed to fix the problem, by using our product PolyLevel we can even out the sidewalk. Lift and level is one of the most popular services DBS offers because many times concrete begins to sink in certain areas, leading to more problems that collect water and become a safety hazard. We would lift the sidewalk to direct water away from the foundation, also making sure we keep the home safe from water damage by sending it another direction. This would ensure overall protection from water pooling, water damage to the home/porch, and safety to walk on even surfaces in the customers home. DBS is happy to work towards diverting water away from the home and foundation, prevention of other damages, stabilization of concrete, while maintaining overall customer safety. Our PolyLevel is a great option for folks looking to even their grounds and see promising results.
