Failing Retaining Wall Fixed in Topeka, KS
This homeowner wanted to increase his home's curb appeal as well as keep his home safe. He noticed that the retaining wall he has next to his driveway was starting to lean and become unlevel, and this worried him. He had seen some of our commercials as well as heard of our good reputation from his friends, so he decided to give us a call and see what we could do to support his retaining wall.
We sent System Design Specialist Mike Schmidt to inspect the retaining wall and determine what was causing to to lean. Mike found that the retaining wall was deflecting because of hydrostatic pressure pushing against the wall for many years. Although the situation seemed difficult to fix to the homeowner, Mike explained how the wall deflection could be solved using GeoLock Anchors that will help to straighten it overtime. The homeowner liked this solution so much, that he had one of our installation crews come out the following weekend to secure his retaining wall. Check out the new wall anchors!
Porch Concrete Damage Fixed in Hesston, KS
This homeowner had water draining towards her porch, and she noticed that it was sinking and cracking a lot. She thought that she would have to completely replace the concrete, but before she pursued this option, she decided that it would be better to have us take a look and see if we could fix her concrete.
We sent System Design Specialist Brent See to inspect her concrete problem and determine what would best for their homeowner's concrete. Brent could that the concrete was cracked and sinking, but that this problem could be fixed without replacing the concrete and it could be prevented by rerouting the drainage away from the concrete. After discussing this solution with the homeowner, one of our installation teams came out to the home and started working the next week. Our installation team used PolyLevel foam and NexusPro sealant to lift, level, and seal the porch stairs and the sidewalk around the porch.
The homeowner was so happy that her concrete was fixed without having to replace it. She is going to reroute her gutters soon as well to prevent this problem. Check out her porch's transformation!
Flaking Concrete Protected in Springfield, MO
Saving money in the long run and preventing further damage was this homeowners reasoning for calling us. She had struggled with her driveway pitting and flaking for years, and she didn't want this problem to keep getting worse. After having checked on our review and checking our status with the Better Business Bureau, she knew that we would be a great fit for her home's needs.
Our System Design Specialist Nick Tiberghien arrived at her home to discuss her driveway problems and take a deeper look into what was causing the problems. Upon inspection, Nick found that there were a few different problems with the driveway. The first problem was that the pitting and flaking of the driveway was causing a look of deteriorating or falling apart, when in fact the concrete was still structured well. The next problem Nick discovered was that there was a portion of concrete that sunk a couple of inches due to water washing to soil out from underneath the concrete. This issue was difficult because it meant that the concrete would need to be lifted before it could be protected.
Nick discussed options to fix these problems which include lifting and sealing the surface of the concrete. The homeowner liked these solutions very much, so she scheduled an installation appointment for the next week. The installation crew that came out to her home got to work quickly by first lifting the sunken concrete slab using PolyLevel foam. After that, the crew power-washed the entire surface of the concrete to ensure that nothing would break the sealant they wanted to use. Finally, after the driveway was leveled and cleaned, the crew used SealantPro to seal the entire surface of the driveway to protect it from further pitting or flaking.
The homeowner was extremely happy with the results. She said that the driveway looks so much cleaner than when we started with her, and she was very thankful that her concrete was protected. Check out the huge concrete transformation!
