Concrete Crack Repair in Blaine, MN
Challenge
One of the most common residential problems that DBS encounters is concrete repair. Our design specialists work very closely with concrete repair whether it’s cracking or sinking. We make sure to repair the concrete, lift and level back to its original placement, while also repairing any cracks that may have come from the concrete shifting. There’s a long list of reasons why concrete begins to shift and crack, but our DBS installation team works hard to make sure your concrete is repaired and maintained into the future, so you don’t have to worry about the stability of your home.
DBS received a call from a homeowner in Blaine, MN that they were concerned with the conditions of concrete in their garage. The concrete had been sinking and cracking. Over a period of time, the cracks had started getting bigger and large amounts of water began to enter the garage area, also pooling into the middle of the concrete. This home was newly developed, but it still had an error in the garage slab that was causing the concrete to settle and sink into the ground. This can happen regardless of the age of the home, the soil under the garage may have shifted, may be soft, or the may have been wet causing pressure to shift with the concrete layer over it.
Solution
Our design specialists looked into the slab of concrete in the garage to create a solution for the homeowners. This specific project required that our installation crew worked to install PolyLevel® into the center of the garage floor. By filling the center of the garage in with PolyLevel®, the concrete will level out because of the sinking and pooling caused in the middle, then the cracks will also be filled in, coming from the center of the garage. The PolyLevel® stabilize concrete floors far into the future and helps to make sure the foundation is also sturdy. This service also works well on sidewalks, driveways, basement slabs, decks, and more.
