Mesa County, CO's Reliable Concrete Repair Contractor

A Grand Junction, CO. customer had an issue with their back patio sinking.  This created an eye sore and trip hazard by the connecting sidewalk.  The patio had sunk to a level that exposed re-bar in a few areas.  Our crew was able to lift the patio with PolyLevel foam back to level and allowed the rebar to be sealed and covered again. PolyLevel is light weight, strong, and enviro friendly.  It will last forever and prevent further damage to the concrete.  The control joints were then sealed to prevent further moisture from penetrating the surface.  The customer was amazed at the results we were able to provide to them, giving their patio and sidewalk a fresh new look within a day.

After debating the cost of ripping up existing concrete and having a new driveway poured, a customer called us at Defender Concrete Solutions to do a free estimate.  The slab was raised above the garage entry at one point and sunk at least 2 inches in the middle of the driveway.  Overall the driveway was uneven on every slab.  After insuring the customer that we could have her driveway back in new condition in one day at a fraction of the cost of ripping and replacing, she chose us.

Our crew was able to use PolyLevel to lift the low portions of the concrete, while at the same time bringing the high areas in front of the garage back to normal surface area.  The slab was then protected from future damage by sealing the joints in the slab with NexusPro, which is a UV resistant joint compound that will far outlast traditional silicone caulking.  The customer was shocked at the results and couldn't believe that we were able to back the work with a 5 year guarantee.  She gave us high praise for professionalism and responsiveness. 

Defender Concrete Repair was called to estimate a job on a stoop with two steps connected to a patio.  The steps and slab had sunk so much that the support posts on the patio had to have a 1"3/4 spacer put in for support.  The customer was surprised to hear that we could fix it.  Our crew was able to lift the patio and steps, which had a large void underneath.  The steps were stabilized first,  Then lifted back to normal.  The whole patio was then lifted to the point the spacer could be removed and set back to normal.  The sidewalk was then lifted back to normal grade.  By then end, the customer was shocked to see how much we were able to improve and restore the patio and sidewalk.  The support beams were now sturdy instead of loose.  All the joints were then sealed with NexusPro to prevent further water damage.

A customer in Grand Junction had Defender come out and repair their driveway that had a couple slabs that were sunken around 2".  This caused a major crack across the entire driveway, which was over 30' wide.  Defender was able to use PolyLevel to lift the concrete back to level with the adjacent slabs and stabilize the entire slab.  NexusPro, which seals the joints is UV resistant and will not crack, was used to seal all joints.  This will prevent water from getting under the slab in the future, since the builder has the downspout from the gutter pouring right on the middle of the slab.  The customer was pleased with the results and left us a 5 star review on our google page.

Customer's RV pad had sank in the middle up to 1".  Defender Concrete Solutions was able to successfully lift and stabilize the entire area using PolyLevel.  We then sealed the joints around the repaired area with Nexus Pro joint and crack sealer.  The customer was very pleased with the results and the time it took us to have the pad in a condition to where he could utilize it again!

A customer's steps had sank on one side and began to pull away from the house.  Defender Concrete Solutions was able to drill a small pilot hole through the entire stoop and then use PolyLevel to lift the entire stoop back into place.  We then used Nexus Pro to seal around the edges to prevent water from getting in and under the steps again.  This job was completed in under two hours.

Homeowner in Fruita, CO.  had and issue with sagging concrete in the driveway and the walkway connected to the driveway.  The situation was most likely caused from the downspouts that were draining nearby and caused erosion to the soil below.  On this particular pad the joints were also exposed, leaving another pathway for water to get beneath the concrete slab and wash the soil away.  This created voids under the slab and lead to some cracking as well.  Defender Concrete Solutions was able to repair and stabilize the entire pad and walkway and seal the joints to prevent further erosion.  In the end the customer was very pleased to save a tremendous amount of money versus ripping up and replacing the existing concrete.  All of this was done in a day for very little disruption to the family's lifestyle.

Recently sealed the surface of a large driveway and patio in Fruita.  We also sealed all the joints afterwards.  In this particular neighborhood a lot of surfaces are starting to "spall up".  We applied SealantPro and one time, permanent sealer that absorbs into the surface to prevent chemicals, ice melt and freeze/thaw damage.  The joints were sealed to prevent debris from getting in the control joints which will cause chipping from expansion and contraction.

A customer in Palisade Colorado had a patio that had sank on one side and created a large crack down the middle.  Defender Concrete Solutions used slab jacks to get the slab lifted back to the original position.  This tightened up the crack and maintained proper grade away from the house.  PolyLevel foam was then injected under the slab to stabilize it.  Nexus Pro joint sealer, which is waterproof and UV resistant was then used to seal the cracks and joints.  A final coated of sand blended in with the concrete for a great looking finish and eliminated trip hazzards.

Defender Concrete Solutions just completed an amazing project in Loma Colorado.  We were able to save the customer significant money by avoiding ripping up the concrete and replacing it.  The driveway had two main areas that had sank over an inch right in front of the garage entries.  The sidewalk connecting the driveway to the front door was down almost 2 inches from the top of the driveway slab.  Defender Concrete used PolyLevel foam that is hydrophobic, will not wash away and will prevent soil dry out.  PolyLevel is strong lightweight foam that allows for permanent stabilization of concrete slabs.

The PolyLevel foam was installed under the areas that had settled.  NexusPro joint and crack sealant was then used to seal the joints and cracks around the affected areas.  NexusPro will not dry and crack since it is UV resistant.  It is also water proof, so it will shed water.  At the end the customer was amazed at what had taken place and could not believe how quick it was done and ready for use again.

Defender Concrete had a big challenge with a project in Grand Junction, CO.  A large stoop/patio had began to sink on the front edge.  It created a crack in the middle of the patio and was pulling the stairs away from the house as they were sinking to the same side.  The challenge was the amount of weight on the front edge compared to the rest of the patio.  This means that when lifting and stabilized with PolyLevel the back side near the crack would want to raise as well.  Defender used slab jacks to hydraulically lift the entire stoop before actually pumping foam in.  This method allowed for precise stabilization and force the foam where we wanted it to go.  We then sealed the cracks and joints and even matched the color.  The pictures will show a little darker in these areas, but when it sets up and cures good, it should blend nicely.  The stairs were also stabilized and lifted which tightened them back up against the house.  The cost of this versus ripping apart and re-pouring a new stoop were exponentially cheaper and we were finished in around 3 hours.

A customer called Defender Concrete Solutions with a major concern over a driveway that had sank significantly.  This was causing a severe bump while pulling into the driveway and a tripping hazard.  The customer also had concerns of potential spalling and issues with the joints allowing water to penetrate under the slab.

Defender Concrete Solutions, that covers the western slope of Colorado had solutions for each problem.  The slab was lifted and stabilized by pumping PolyLevel foam through a tiny porthole under the slab.  This creates a permanent remedy since it compacts the soil underneath as it begins to lift.  The entire surface of the slab and front walkway was then sealed after power washing.  It was sealed with SealantPro, which is a permanent sealer requiring only one application.  The joints were then sealed with a flexible, UV resistant joint compound called NexusPro.  As you can see from the results, the slab was restored as well as the customer's peace of mind.

Defender Concrete Solutions was contacted to come out to a new subdivision in Grand Junction, CO. to perform a free estimate.  The homeowner's goal was to prevent spalling or flaking up on the surface of his concrete.  He had noticed that other driveways in the neighborhood had begun to do this.  The house's in the neighborhood are only a couple years old.  This customer did his research and was educated enough to know that if this happened to his driveway it would cost around $12,000 to $15,000 to tear out and replace his driveway.  It would have also caused weeks of disruption.

Defender Concrete Solutions was excited to be able to have a great, affordable option for him to protect his concrete for years to come.  SealantPro was eventually sprayed on and broomed in after a thorough power washing.  The great thing about SealantPro is that it is permanent and never has to be re-applied.  The joints were also sealed with NexuPro to prevent debris and moisture from entering.

After sealant pro is applied water will bead up on the surface as opposed to absorbing in.  This prevents damage to concrete over the years.

Defender Concrete Solutions completed a project with a quick and permanent solution.  A family in Fruita, CO.  bought a home recently that had a couple severe trip hazards due to the walkway sinking.  Defender Concrete Solutions was able to come out repair the walkway and a portion of the driveway within a couple hours.  Compared to the cost and downtime they would have been facing with full replacement, it was a no brainer for them to choose Defender Concrete Solutions.

Poly foam was injected through the concrete to lift and permanently stabilize the slab.  All of this was also backed by a 5 year warranty at a fraction of the cost and time of replacement.

A resident of Grand Junction, CO.  recently contacted us here at Defender Concrete Solutions.  The concern the customer had was water pooling on his sidewalk and draining towards the foundation as opposed to the yard side.  It is very important to the integrity of your foundation to have this problem corrected.  Defender Concrete gave the customer a proposal to lift the inside edge of the slab and stabilize the entire pad with PolyLevel foam.  The advantage of this method is very little down time and super cost effective compared to ripping out and replacing the concrete.  The foam does not leach or wash away, so it is a permanent solution.  The joints of the slab would also be sealed to prevent water from penetrating from above.

Once the customer approved the proposal, Defender's customer care team arranged a time that worked for the customer and then team went out and completed the job.  The customer was amazed at the results and the time it took for the team to complete the job.  As you can see in the pictures, the slab was "bowed" in the middle and had sank significantly from the edge of the siding.  In the after picture you can see that it was lift back up to a point where it would drain away from the house as originally designed.

Defender Concrete Solutions, a concrete repair company based in Grand Junction Colorado was recently selected to repair a customers driveway in Grand Junction.  The driveway had sank over time, most like from poor compaction after utility lines were dug years ago.  The concrete had sank across the driveway near the control joints, which created a trip hazard all the way across it.  If the customer had not called Defender Concrete Solutions, they may have assumed that they would need to spend the money to replace the driveway.  Defender Concrete's goal is to save the customer money by lifting and stabilizing, then sealing the joints and surface.

Fortunately, Defender was able to do just that by using PolyLevel to raise the sunken slab back into place, sealing the joints and cracks.  The end result was amazing as you can see the before and afters pictured.  We were able to do this at a fraction of what the customer would have spent otherwise.
