Concrete Repair in Duluth, MN
Challenge
In Duluth, MN, we encountered a homeowner who urgently needed a solution for uneven steps and sidewalks. After recovering from a hip replacement, she faced significant challenges with her outdoor walking areas, which had become unsafe and difficult to navigate. The concrete had settled, causing the steps and sidewalk to sink 2-3 inches in various spots. Additionally, there were unsightly cracks and gaps that posed a serious tripping hazard, exacerbated by her recent surgery.
Solution
To address these issues, we proposed a dual-product solution: PolyLevel® for lifting and leveling the concrete, and NexusPro® for sealing cracks and joints. Our approach began with a thorough inspection by a System Design Specialist, who assessed the damage and developed a tailored repair plan.
Once approved, our installation team injected PolyLevel® beneath the sunken slabs to gently raise them back to their original position. This high-density foam is both sturdy and lightweight, avoiding additional strain on the underlying soil. After leveling, we applied NexusPro® sealant to all joints and cracks, which not only improved the appearance but also prevented water from seeping beneath the slabs and causing further settling. The result was a smooth, safe path that provided the homeowner with the peace of mind she needed.
