Photo Album: Concrete Repair in Grimes, IA

Craig W. Of Grimes, Iowa wanted to stop the sinking and cracking he was noticing in his driveway before things  got worse. We were able to repair and protect Craigs home using a 3-part concrete protection approach, started by lifting and leveling his driveway slabs. We then sealed the concrete joints to stop water from eroding the soil supporting the slabs. Next, we used concrete sealant to protect the surface of the driveway. We also installed our CompressionGuard expansion joint to relieve pressure between the street and driveway that was contributing to the cracks we were seeing.

We taped off the driveway to discourage foot and auto traffic while the PolyLevel did it's thing. Unlike some concrete lifting solitions, PolyLevel can be driven on in a single day!

In this close-up view, we can see not only how the slabs have shifted, but also that old joint sealant has worn away, leaving the slabs susceptible to water intrusion and erosion.
