Before & After Photos

Brad and Lisa S. are proud homeowners in Waukee, IA and noticed concrete of their entryway was beginning to lean forward away from the home. In addition, the driveway was lacking the protection it needed to survive the test of the time. The couple wanted to take care of these issues before they became more expensive over time and became a potential tripping hazard for their guests. In order to find a quick and permanent solution, Brad and Lisa reached out to Midwest to inquire about the variety of solutions we offer.

To begin the project, System Design Specialist Dan King arrived at the Waukee, IA home to perform a thorough inspection on the problematic concrete. It was clear the down spouts were pushing water towards the concrete and eroding the soils underneath causing it to lean. As a result, the control joints were beginning to fail and allowing water to seep in. Our teams began repairing the concrete by installing our PolyLevel foam to lift and level the leaning concrete. They followed this up by applying NexusPro to all cracks and joints to permanently prevent water from entering and causing future damage.

Brad and Lisa S. couldn’t have been more pleased with the appearance and effectiveness of the solutions we provided. They immediately recommended Midwest to all their neighbors for any concrete needs.

This customer knew that without a good joint sealant for their driveway, in a matter of years, it would be cracked. Midwest was able to provide a solution that permanently protects concrete with just one application, extending the concrete's life by 3-5x!

Linda W. noticed that the concrete slabs in the basement of her Des Moines, IA home were cracking. She had Midwest come out and repair her driveway and felt comfortable with having us return to fix her basement. Service Technician Michael Holtzbauer was able to identify that the basement slab had a giant void under it and it was causing the slab to settle at different rates and crack. The crew used PolyLevel to fill the void and level out the slab. Then used NexusPro Joint Sealant to close the cracks. Linda was super excited to see that the slab was level and no longer cracking!

This customer wanted the pads in front of his garage doors to be lifted. The main reason the pads were settling was because of washout. This was an urgent project because if we waited much longer the cost to repair would increase. We lifted and stabilized the concrete pads using PolyLevel, one pad had to be lifted 3 inches! We finished up by using NexusPro to seal all the joints and cracks. 

Concrete structures often feature intentional control joints to manage cracking caused by shrinkage and temperature changes. However, if these joints are left unsealed, concerns about their effectiveness and visual appearance may arise.

One customer expressed worry over the unsealed control joints in their driveway, recognizing the importance of proper maintenance.

To resolve the problem, our team applied Nexus Pro, a high-quality joint sealant, to seal all of the control joints in the driveway. Nexus Pro provides a durable and flexible barrier that prevents moisture intrusion, prolonging the lifespan of the concrete and maintaining its visual integrity.
