Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Cracked and Uneven Concrete Fixed in Hopkinsville, KY
A Hopkinsville couple had plans to sell their home, but they first needed to fix the hazardous cracks and uneven concrete on their front porch. They called us, Frontier Basement Systems, to get the job done!
We used Polylevel 200 and NexusPro Joint Sealant, which is a long-lasting solution for repairing cracks in any concrete slab.A common question received is why did their concrete crack in the first place, and the answer is it will happen to most concrete slabs with time because there are many reasons for it to crack. A few reasons are changing temperatures causing the concrete to expand and contract, too much weight on the slab, and improper drying when it is laid. We were able to fill the cracks and level the concrete in no time, now the family has a beautiful and ready to sell home!
