Case Study
CONCRETE REPAIR IN HUDSON, WI
When uneven concrete slabs began causing severe rainwater runoff issues at a home in Hudson, WI, the family struggled to find a compromise. DBS Repair stepped in with a permanent PolyLevel® lifting solution that corrected the slope, restored proper drainage, and brought complete satisfaction to everyone involved.
We recently addressed a unique challenge at a home in Hudson, WI, where the homeowner was caught between practicality and family harmony due to rainwater runoff issues. His temporary solution involved a buried barrel to catch gutter water, which his wife found unsatisfactory and urged for a more permanent fix. The homeowner insisted on keeping the barrel and opted to address the uneven concrete slabs causing the runoff problem instead.
Upon contacting DBS, our Customer Care team swiftly responded, sending a System Design Specialist to assess the situation. Recognizing the need for a durable solution, our specialist recommended PolyLevel®, an advanced method for lifting and stabilizing sinking concrete slabs. With the homeowner’s approval, our skilled team arrived equipped with the PolyLevel system.
The process involved precision injections of PolyLevel® foam beneath the concrete to raise it back to its original position, ensuring proper drainage without disturbing the homeowner’s existing gutter setup. The outcome was highly successful, resolving drainage issues and enhancing the area’s appearance to the delight of both homeowners.
