Concrete Slab Raised in Side Lake, MN Boat House

A cabin owner in Side Lake, MN wanted to repair the floor in their boathouse. Shifting soils and washouts have caused the lakeside concrete slab to settle over time. In search of a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate for our concrete lifting and leveling service.

DBS Design Specialist Kelly Dusek is an expert in Concrete Repair and visited the cabin to provide an inspection. After taking thorough measurements, he designed a solution that would fill the voids beneath the concrete and raise the slabs back to a level position.

DBS Concrete Repair Foreman Evan Lafontaine led a crew that completed this cabin boathouse project. They began by drilling pea-sized holes into the target areas of the concrete. From there, they used a pressurized hose to inject our 2-part solution called PolyLevel® beneath the slab. This expanding foam's lightweight formula is designed to lift concrete without adding extra weight to the soil beneath and causing more settling. The foam hardens and it cures to provide a durable, sustainable fix that won't wash away over time. The cracks were filled with NexusPro®, a flexible silicone solution.

This cabin owner was happy with the work done and is relieved to have a stable and level slab once again.
