The Challenge: Cracked Garage Floor in Pine City, MN
We recently had the privilege of helping a homeowner in Pine City, MN, who was facing a problem that’s all too common but often ignored until it’s a major issue — a cracked garage floor. While many homeowners try to patch surface cracks, the underlying cause is usually deeper and requires a structural solution.
Our Inspection and Recommended Solution
Upon their call, our Appointment Center team quickly arranged for a Design Specialist from our sales team to inspect their garage floor. During this visit, it became clear that the cause of the cracking was an issue with the underlying soil, and simply filling in the cracks wouldn’t provide a long-term solution. Our recommendation was to use a combination of PolyLevel®, an advanced polyurethane injection system that lifts and stabilizes sinking concrete, and NexusPro®, a durable sealant designed to treat cracks and joints, preventing future water infiltration and damage.
How the Repair Was Done
Our production team, made up of experienced foremen and installers, then meticulously got to work. They first lifted the sunken sections of the garage floor using PolyLevel®. After the PolyLevel® installation leveled and stabilized the garage floor, NexusPro® was applied to all the cracks and joints to ensure a waterproof and durable finish.
The Result: A Durable, Long-Lasting Repair
The homeowner was relieved and thrilled with the results. Not only was their garage floor repaired promptly and efficiently, but they also felt confident in the durability and reliability of the repair. These solutions not only solved the immediate cracking issue but also enhanced the longevity of the floor — giving the homeowner peace of mind for years to come.
