Garage floor and apron lifted and leveled in Turtle Lake, WI

Posted on by Angelica Gonzalez

Turtle Lake, WI

Garage Floor Lifted and Leveled

What had begun as some small cracks, now were large uneven cracks stretching the length of the garage floor.

See how DBS Repair’s team of concrete experts were able to lift, level, and repair his concrete in his garage, faster and cheaper than replacing it with new concrete.

Challenge

This customer was talking with a friend about the problems he was seeing in his garage floor and garage apron. His friend had recently had some work done by DBS and was thrilled with the results so he passed on our information to our new customer!

When the customer called our office he spoke with Kelsey Anderson, our Office Manager. She set him up with an appointment to have our Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen, come out to his home. Upon his inspection, Rich, found several problem areas on the garage floor. What had begun as some small cracks, now were large uneven cracks stretching the length of the garage floor.  Additional problem areas needing to be address was the sinking apron slab. Over time the apron sunk many inches below the garage floor causing cracking and an unwanted bump to get into the garage. 

Solution

Rich our Design Specialist, concluded that the best quality option to fix these problems would be to install our PolyLevel product. The installation crew started by drilling small holes into the existing concrete. This is where PolyLevel is installed to lift and level the slab. The slab is ready to hold weight hours after installation. This is a much more desired solution compared to traditional mud jacking techniques people are currently using.

The customer was ecstatic about the results we achieved. He was very happy with the results and even more pleased that he didn’t have to spend a lot of money totally replacing all his concrete. He can’t wait to pass on our information to his friends!

A DBS installer repairs a cracked sidewalk with PolyLevel®

What is PolyLevel®?

PolyLevel® is a concrete lifting and leveling system that injects a high-density polyurethane foam to fill empty spaces beneath concrete and reinforce settling slabs. When the two-part formula expands, it gently raises the concrete back into place while creating a long-lasting, water-resistant repair.

PolyLevel® helps our team of expert installers quickly lift and stabilize concrete surfaces such as driveways, sidewalks, garage floors, basement slabs, and more.

With PolyLevel® we can easily and quickly lift, level, and repaid cracked concrete for homes and commercial applications including:

  • Cracked and Sunken Driveways
  • Broken Concrete Sidewalks
  • Crumbling Concrete Patios
  • Sagging Pool Decks
  • Cracks in Commercial Concrete
  • Uneven Concrete Slabs

What is PolyLevel® and how does it help with Concrete Leveling?

Replacing a concrete slab is both expensive and disruptive. Concrete slabs can take days – or even weeks – to cure. PolyLevel® is lightweight cures within hours, and is a superior solution to repair rather than replace cracked concrete. weak soil. Best of all, PolyLevel allows for use of concrete within hours, not weeks.

Quick installation and cure time – PolyLevel®’s concrete lifting system is designed for speed. In most cases, surfaces such as driveways, walkways, or structural slabs can be ready for full use within just a few hours.

Strong and light: PolyLevel® is extremely lightweight, only about 4 lbs. per cubic foot compared to roughly 120 lbs. for traditional fill materials. And yet it provides superior support, making it ideal for unstable soils and capable of delivering greater lifting performance than mudjacking.

Adjustable – The lifting process can be precisely controlled by adjusting the chemical expansion of the foam. Our skilled team accounts for the slab’s weight, soil conditions, and weather to achieve accurate results.
