Faced with a settling and cracked sidewalk, a homeowner in Davenport reached out to us in search of a fix that avoided the cost of full replacement. The before photo shows how the sidewalk had become uneven and showed visible cracks. We used our PolyLevel system to stabilize and lift the concrete slabs back to a level position. Notice in the after photo, how remarkable the difference is. To prevent future damage, we installed our NexusPro Joint Sealant to ensure water stays out, keeping the sidewalk looking pristine and strong.
In Davenport, IA, a homeowner faced eroding and settling concrete at their sidewalk, leading to water pooling and hazardous ice conditions. Notice in the before photo how severe the settlement was. To restore safety and functionality, we used our PolyLevel system, injecting high-strength polyurethane foam through small, targeted holes to stabilize and lift the slabs back into place. The seamless, durable finish as seen in the after photo was achieved using our NexusPro Joint Sealant, which will effectively resist water intrusions and deteriorating weather elements.
Water in the basement can be more than a minor inconvenience, it can also compromise your home's value and safety. In the before photo, you can see the old basement windows in this Davenport, IA home, which were the culprit behind persistent leaks. We addressed the issues by replacing the existing windows with our reliable Everlast basement windows. As the after photo shows, these new windows ensure a watertight seal, keeping the area safe and dry. With over 35 years of experience, our family-owned team is committed to putting the customer first, providing exceptional solutions every step of the way.
In Davenport, IA, a homeowner began noticing a "not-so-fun" game of "lean in" occurring in their basement. The foundation walls had begun to bow and inch inward—a clear sign of hydrostatic pressure from the exterior soil pushing against the structure.
As seen in the "before" documentation, the walls were visibly compromised. This type of movement, if left unaddressed, can lead to severe structural failure. The homeowner was understandably worried about the long-term stability of their foundation.
Chris Hebbel, our System Design Specialist, performed a precise evaluation of the wall’s deflection. Chris determined that the most effective, non-invasive solution would be a high-tensile reinforcement system.
He designed a plan utilizing the CarbonArmor® System. Unlike traditional bulky steel beams, this solution provides immense strength while maintaining a low profile, allowing the homeowner to eventually finish the basement without losing square footage.
Once the strategy was set, Foreman Dylan Johnson and his production crew moved in to armor the foundation. The installation required technical expertise and a careful touch:
Surface Preparation: Dylan’s team ground the basement walls to ensure a clean, porous surface for the specialized epoxy to bond effectively.
CarbonArmor® Application: High-strength carbon fiber strips—material stronger than steel—were fused to the foundation walls.
ArmorLock® Integration: To ensure the system was anchored at the most critical point, the team installed our ArmorLock® brackets. These brackets tie the carbon fiber strips directly into the floor joists, preventing any further inward movement at the top of the wall.
The "after" photo tells a story of structural victory. The walls are now stabilized, and the "lean in" has been permanently halted. Thanks to the expertise of Chris Hebbel and the meticulous installation by Dylan Johnson, the homeowner’s anxiety has been replaced with true peace of mind.
The home now stands firm where it matters most, protected by a "stealthy" armor that ensures stability for decades to come.
