CONCRETE RESTORATION AND PEST PREVENTION IN SHELL LAKE, WI
When homeowners in Shell Lake, WI noticed severe concrete settling areas around their property, it wasn’t just the uneven ground that concerned them—it was the unwelcome pests it attracted.
When homeowners in Shell Lake, WI, noticed settling areas around their property, it wasn’t just the uneven ground that concerned them—it was the unwelcome guests it attracted. Snakes, chipmunks, and mice had begun to make themselves at home in these nooks, turning a minor issue into a significant nuisance. That’s when they turned to us at DBS. The solution to their problem required more than just patching up the ground; it demanded a robust and enduring fix.
Following a thorough inspection by one of our diligent System Design Specialists, we recommended a combination of PolyLevel® and NexusPro® to address their unique situation. PolyLevel®, an advanced foam injection, would lift and stabilize the sunken concrete, creating a stable barrier against further settling and eliminating the crevices that had become cozy homes for critters. Next, NexusPro® would seal the joints and cracks, preventing future infestations and damage.
Our production team, led by an experienced foreman, meticulously carried out the work with minimal disruption to the homeowners’ daily life. Upon completion, the once uneven and critter-friendly environment was transformed into a smooth, secure, and sealed area. Tripping hazards were eliminated, and seasonal invasions of unwelcome guests became a thing of the past.
The homeowners were visibly satisfied to see their property restored to a safe and intended state. This project wasn’t just about technical efficiency; it exemplified our commitment to delivering exceptional customer experiences and providing long-lasting solutions to home issues.
