Concrete Lifting and Leveling Before & After Photos

After living for many years in this 1950's Duluth, MN home, the owners needed a solution to their home's sidewalk. It had sunk and cracked to the point that water was pooling and freezing, causing very dangerous conditions for the owners, guests, and the mail carrier. They knew they needed to repair their concrete slab and reached out to DBS after a recommendation from another contractor.

DBS Design Specialist Ericka Boyum visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate. To lift and level the concrete, PolyLevel® was recommended. DBS Foreman Dustin Behning and his production crew successfully installed and leveled the slab and sidewalk using PolyLevel® and sealed the cracks using NexusPro™.

These homeowners now have a safe, stable, and level sidewalk that will last for years to come!

This homeowner in Taylors Falls, MN wanted to restore the workspace in their garage. Settlement and changes in the seasons lead the concrete slab to crack in several places.

Henrik Makitalo was the Design Specialist for this project and visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the concrete repair project. He designed a plan that would raise the sinking slab but keep the grade slanted slightly towards the garage doors for ease of cleaning. 

DBS Concrete Repair Foreman Dustin Behning and his crew used PolyLevel® to raise the sinking slab. PolyLevel® is made with a specially engineered 2-part compound foam that expands when applied and hardens when dry. To take care of the cracks, our team used NexusPro™ to fill and completely seal them. 

Homeowners in Columbia Heights, MN wanted to restore their back patio. Over time, soil washout caused their slab to settle and crack. Looking for a permanent solution, they contacted DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate on our PolyLevel service.

Concrete Repair Production Manager Steve Lafontaine visited the home to measure movement on the slab and design a custom solution. DBS Foreman Elisha Schlipp and her team installed expanding PolyLevel beneath the home's driveway, sidewalk, and patio. This polyurethane foam is injected beneath the slab via a pea-sized hole in the concrete. Expanding upon application, it raises the slab back to level and hardens as it cures. From there, they filled the concrete cracks with NexusPro®.

After a successful project to lift and level the slab, the homeowners can now make better use of their outdoor spaces.

Homeowners in Saint Paul, MN were concerned over their sinking garage foundation. The garage. The gap between the garage apron and the entrance to the garage was uneven and cracked. In order to eliminate tripping hazards, the homeowners reached out to DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate for the concrete repair project. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home and gave a thorough inspection of the garage. He determined that the foundation was in good condition and that the concrete slab could be lifted and leveled using PolyLevel®.

Foreman Elisha Schlipp and her concrete repair crew completed the work. They drilled small holes and injected PolyLevel® to fill the voids beneath the slab. PolyLevel® expands upon contact with the soil and is able to raise the slab back to its original position. From there, our team carefully filled the cracks with NexusPro®, a silicone-based joint sealant.

This family is now able to comfortably pull vehicles in and out of the garage with ease!
