Large Concrete Cracks in Shoreview, MN Garage Repaired with DBS Solutions

DBS Repair restored large garage floor cracks in Shoreview, MN using advanced concrete lifting and crack repair solutions to improve safety, stability, and long-term durability.

Challenge

This homeowner in Shoreview, MN became concerned with the large, gaping cracks in their garage. These cracks had become a nuisance and a tripping hazard. The owners wanted a professional, permanent solution so they trusted DBS to help. Design Specialist Jason Swanson paid the home a visit to conduct a free, no-obligation estimate for the owners. After a careful inspection, a quote was provided for our PolyLevel® Foam and NexusPro® Sealant. These solutions work together to create a lasting solution for the home.

Solution

A DBS Foreman led a team in the installation of this project. Together, the team began by drilling small holes into the existing concrete. The PolyLevel® Foam is then able to be injected under the slab. This foam expands and hardens to lift the slab back up to a level position. Once the lifting process is completed, our sealant product is applied to the cracks and joints of the concrete. This sealant not only creates a smooth finish, but it also protects the area from weather conditions. This homeowner can now enjoy their smooth, hazard-free garage. 

Quick installation and cure time – PolyLevel®’s concrete lifting system is designed for speed. In most cases, surfaces such as driveways, walkways, or structural slabs can be ready for full use within just a few hours.

Non-invasive installation – PolyLevel® creates minimal mess and causes far less disruption compared to traditional slab lifting methods. PolyLevel® injection equipment is compact and easy to handle, easy to install even in tight or restricted spaces.

Strong and light: PolyLevel® is extremely lightweight, only about 4 lbs. per cubic foot compared to roughly 120 lbs. for traditional fill materials. And yet it provides superior support, making it ideal for unstable soils and capable of delivering greater lifting performance than mudjacking.

Adjustable – The lifting process can be precisely controlled by adjusting the chemical expansion of the foam. Our skilled team accounts for the slab’s weight, soil conditions, and weather to achieve accurate results.

What is PolyLevel®?

PolyLevel® is a concrete lifting and leveling system that injects a high-density polyurethane foam to fill empty spaces beneath concrete and reinforce settling slabs. When the two-part formula expands, it gently raises the concrete back into place while creating a long-lasting, water-resistant repair.

PolyLevel® helps our team of expert installers quickly lift and stabilize concrete surfaces such as driveways, sidewalks, garage floors, basement slabs, and more.

With PolyLevel® we can easily and quickly lift, level, and repaid cracked concrete for homes and commercial applications including:

Why choose PolyLevel® for concrete lifting and leveling?

Rapid cure and minimal downtime: 
PolyLevel® sets quickly, allowing most surfaces to be fully usable within 15 minutes to an hour. Traditional methods like mudjacking or replacement can take days—or even weeks—before use.
More cost-effective than replacement:
Lifting and leveling with PolyLevel® eliminates the need for costly demolition and replacement, and is often more affordable than mudjacking.
Stabilizes the underlying soil: 
Unlike heavy cement-based methods that add weight to failing ground, PolyLevel® expands to fill voids and reinforce weak soils—addressing the root cause of settlement.
Clean, non-invasive installation: 
PolyLevel® requires small, discreet injection points and avoids the heavy equipment that can damage landscaping. The result is a cleaner repair with minimal disruption.
Reduced environmental impact: 
By restoring existing concrete instead of replacing it, PolyLevel® minimizes material waste and keeps debris out of landfills.
