Before & After

CURB APPEAL RESTORED IN CHANHASSEN, MN WITH POLYLEVEL®

A Chanhassen, MN homeowner preparing to put their home on the market contacted DBS about a sunken, cracked walkway hurting their curb appeal. Our team used PolyLevel® to lift and level the concrete — restoring a safe, polished entrance just in time to attract buyers.

Before reaching out to us, our Chanhassen homeowner faced a significant challenge: a sunken, cracked concrete slab that not only detracted from the overall aesthetic of their property but also posed safety concerns. With their home set to go on the market soon, they understood the crucial role that curb appeal plays in attracting potential buyers. As highlighted in the before photo, the issue was glaringly obvious; the uneven and damaged walkway was an eyesore that could easily turn off prospective buyers.

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the homeowner turned to our experienced team at DBS for a solution. We understand that first impressions are vital, especially in real estate, and our goal was to restore the beauty and safety of their home’s entrance. Enter our innovative solution: PolyLevel®. This state-of-the-art polyurethane foam is specifically designed to lift and stabilize sunken concrete slabs effectively. 

The process began with a thorough assessment of the area, allowing us to pinpoint the underlying issues that caused the concrete to sink in the first place. Once we had a clear understanding of the situation, our skilled technicians carefully injected PolyLevel® beneath the affected slabs. This foam expands and hardens, effectively raising the concrete back to its original position while also filling voids and providing long-lasting support.

The transformation is striking, as evidenced in the after photo. The once uneven and cracked concrete is now flawlessly leveled, completely erasing the visible imperfections that had been such a concern. The enhanced walkway not only looks polished and inviting but also ensures safety for anyone entering the home. 

Our mission? Delivered. The home is now ready to charm any buyer, showcasing a safe, sleek entrance that enhances its overall value. This project exemplifies our commitment to providing a remarkable customer experience, paired with durable, lasting solutions that truly make a difference. At DBS, we take pride in turning challenges into successes, ensuring that every homeowner can enjoy the beauty and safety of their property for years to come.
