Lifting Sunken Concrete Driveway Pads 

I watched the entire thing just because the technician was such an amazingly hardworking and dedicated person ... 👌

No idea why I watched this. I live in a flat, in Scotland. We don't do concrete driveways! But something about that guys enthusiasm for his job kept me here to the end!

An employee who needs to be lauded for his knowledge and interaction with the customer....good job...hope his boss sees this PAY RAISE!...

What a professional company and employee. He certainly is a fine ambassador.

I'd hire that company to fix my driveway JUST because of that young man. He's an OUTSTANDING worker and his attention to detail and politeness are 2nd to none!

That's one of the friendliest employees I've ever seen

Sadly this is one of those guys that's too smart for the job he has and won't be there long. He is definitely an asset to any company he works for.

Every company should take notes. That guy was excellent. Knowledgeable, friendly and thorough.

The worker was very camera friendly. He explained everything in good detail but not so a layman couldn't understand.

That guy did a great job. Great attitude also. That's real customer service that you rarely see anymore these days.

Great customer service skills. That should be their certified trainer

Good to see the employee engaging with the client , I can tell he enjoys his job , a true professional.

Damn I'm really impressed with the friendly employee...and how knowledgeable he was. Thank you for sharing this video!

I should be sleeping but here I am for some reason watching how driveways are lifted

What a knowledgeable guy! Definitely someone you want to have working for you!

MATVEY, you must be very pleased to have an employee that's so highly qualified in so many areas. A pleasure to watch and learn. Thank you for this really informative and well made video.

I really appreciate that guy's patience and willingness to explain in great detail what's happening.

Thumbs up for giving us the cost of the job! So many videos out there don't say how much they paid.

One of the best live demo's of any sort that I've ever seen.

What was the bar thing called that he slipped under the edge of the driveway slab and then used the 12 ton bottle jack to lift the slab most of the way before using the foam?

Fixing the sunken slab is a job itself, but to clean up the excess and even plug those tiny holes like that is professionalism at its finest!

Watching this fellow work was a pleasure. Focused, professional, skilled - a joy to behold. What he demonstrated can't be taught. You either have that pride in workmanship or you don't. Thanks for the video.

The guy knew what he was doing. Good video.

The tech is the man! Purest form of loving what you do is not a job! Keep up the superior customer service and home grown personality!

Give that kid a raise. Good employee and knows what he's doing

Wow...a breath of fresh air to see a young person not afraid to use power tools or get his hands and pants dirty...welcome to the mens club! Very smart employee.

I wish he got out of the van like "So, you wanna experience TRUE level?"

This guy is a genuine professional. He seems to know the reason behind every step during the fix. Fine work. Never knew that drive way slabs could be lifted and evened out. Great job.

you can tell this is the "Train the new guy" guy.

Other employees would rather have them be left alone but this guy seems to like interacting with clients. He needs a raise.

It's really amazing how strong that foam is. The house I just sold needed some foundation repairs and the people buying it were talking about using the foam. It's cool to actually see it in action.

Great job by that young man. It makes me happy to see the younger generation taking pride in their work and from his explanations - also thinking about the process

Never heard of this process. It's ingenious! The technician seemed knowledgeable and was quite pleasant. All in all, a very informative and satisfying video!

That's guy was super professional and knowledgeable at his job. It's refreshing to see someone so into what they do for a living. Excellent video thank u for sharing

Excellent employee here folks. Good company doing business locally. 👍👍👍

This guy is such a role model and who I aspire to be.

That’s a good employee. Personable, knowledgeable, and to the point.

Very good job he did there. My friend had his drive done last summer, and he has not complained once about hitting a hidden crack or seam with his snow blower now.

It was really fun listening to this dude talked about his job he handled himself well

Who actually searched for this? But then still continued to watch because it was cool and the employee was a real cool professional 😎 👌 👍

Most driveways are 3.5 in because thats what a 2x4 has and what most people form it with

I'm very impressed with the technical skill of the employee, he did a really great job!

Great employee. He is making himself invaluable and trustworthy to his boss. Probably make him part of the business over time. His boss should be proud of him. He is a reflection of his boss and the company. I would have liked to see an "before & after" shot when he finished filling in the cracks.

This employee is the the greatest! Also thank you for including the cost for replace/repair. That would definitely be everyone’s first question. Now to find a repair company near me in Illinois.

The young man done a wonderful job plus PR interactions with the owner. Hope the owner gave him a nice tip.

This is an amazing video. The the technician made it interesting. He literally explained the company he works for and his "job description". Yes RU-vid you recommend something worth watching.

Good work . There are very uniquely skilled stone masons that can inject those cracks, patch and make them disappear. My father was a master at this particular skill .He also taught my older brother who has also become just as respected a master as our dad was.

Whatever they're paying the guy shooting the foam isn't enough. If I had $75k lying around I'd buy a pumping rig, give this guy a huge raise, and make him the general manager of my soon to be foam jacking empire. This guy nails it.

Seems like a great employee. I would like to point out that the concrete has not sunk at the garage door, it is set lower so water will not run into to garage. Same as the siding/trim, it is intentionally kept at least 1/2” from the concrete so water don’t soak into it and cause it to rot.

Employee any company in this industry would die to have!

Highly recommend good eye protection. Had a friend lose his eye when an epoxy mix popped back on him just like that mix is doing coming out of those holes. Everything he went through was an utter nightmare. It happened on a roof of a building with a suicide ladder. He passed out from the pain several times as the other guys on the crew where trying to get him down and rush to the hospital. This epoxy also heated up when mixed. So his eye was being chemically cooked. He went through a couple surgeries to try to save his eye, but in the end he told them to take it out. He couldn't handle the pain any longer. It was also his good eye. They say that it puts a lot of stress on the eye he has left and he will go legally blind in a few years. And he was wearing glasses much like the guy lifting this concrete.

I got an estimate a couple of weeks ago to use this system to level three sidewalk slabs that are sunken make it difficult for pedestrians. Estimate was $2100. I thought that was high.

Being a service guy for a plumbing and heating company. Wish I had a gentleman like this in our company. Wtg

Wow love the interaction and knowledge this employee shares with the client, technics was simply amazing to watch for a 56 year young lady, always been a tomboy in theory but a pretty tomboy ha ha love the video. Thanks for sharing !!!

Me: RU-vid algorithm: here take this Me: uh what RU-vid: just take it Me: ey that's pretty good

What is the name of the bottle jack accessory for lifting the slab?

Alright RU-vid, I clicked on it.

Excellent. I've always wondered how this was done. The employee was very knowledgeable and informative, and did a great job.

i like that he took the time to clean up and make it look as if nothing happened

A very meticulous man who has done a Great job in hiding all evidence of the repair!!! He even trimmed off the foam along edges which could've been simply covered with dirt. Well Done sir.👍✔️

Good to see there’s still some great employees/ homeowners out there.👍

I over heard you mention about the moles . I recently had the same mole problem and got rid of them by spreading coffee grounds in the entrance and exit holes of the moles. Got most of my coffee grounds from the local Sheetz. It worked like a charm.........Make sure you use the used grounds . It also fertilizes the earth. Don't be stingy with the coffee grounds.

This is a good example of why you need rebar in your concrete driveway

Great employee . As much as customers who want to talk non stop are annoying , this guy was fantastic at his job and certainly was a great representative of that company . I’m in Australia and found myself wishing this guy was here to fix my driveway .

I found this video way more interesting than I thought I would.

Driveways should always have rebar and be poured 4-6inch thick for residential. For the cracks they have a synthetic material concrete patch that you can get different colors in that will last forever and it's got a bit of flex to it.

Agree with all the kudos for this worker’s knowledge and interpersonal skills. As an occupational health physician (and user of power tools), it’s too bad he doesn’t use hearing protection when drilling holes in concrete.

What’s the name of the tool he is using with the jack to lift the slab first

You are an awesome technician, you are dedicated to your job and your clients. I do love your patience and your rapport with your client. Great job man.

Nice job. I hope this worker got a bonus for doing such a great job selling this product to the world for his company. The guy filming it should have gotten a big discount check also.

I wonder why the cities don't do this for sidewalk repairs instead of grinding and ramping when the edges become trip hazards, this is a great way to repair.

What is the name of the red tool used with the jack that’s lifts the slab?

This company couldn't buy better advertising. This video should be on their website.

The 2.1k thumbs down are from concrete/masonry contractors

I'm impressed with the quality of his service and knowledge, very well trained and an awsome job

This is a four year old video and I sincerely hope that the young man in the video has a high ranking post in the company by now....... Home owner did a great job with this video.... Thank you.....

hahahahah I dont even have a sinking driveway and watched the whole thing..

This is good quality content right here. This is what RU-vid was made for.

RU-vid and its odd recommendations having me watch it till the end again!! 😭😂

Cool video showing the process as well as the young man explaining it at each step, responding to good inquiries made by the person recording.

The guy knew what he is doing. very goog job & Good video.

This employee is so proficient that he could run the company. Ive witnessed supervisors that have been threatened by an employee such as this gentleman. Sad but true.

A proud good worker who knew what he was doing 👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌️

I enjoyed the overall attitude of this worker. He was so cool and calm throughout the process. Never got hot or frustrated. These guys like this make it so easy for home owners. 👍🏼👍🏼

Tried leveling a section of concrete a third this size and it broke/cracked. This was amazing.

The reason this slab cracked so severely is because the original installation didn't install enough expansion joints and the pour was only 3". The correct driveway should be 6" in order to support the weight of a vehicle (let alone an 'RV') with "flags no larger than 8' x 8'. Certainly never 3". Even sidewalks are thicker at 4".

I was smoking a joint and couldn’t stop watching this.

Imagine if all your conversations with other people were as pleasant and informative as the one that these two fine gentlemen just had?

I am so glad the recommendation section has brought us all together.

What a great kid! Hardworking and knowledgeable.

Came here from a story of a contractor botch-job. Kept watching expecting this guy to be incompetent. Watched whole vid. You win this time, non-incompetent guy... . . . . . .. ...this time.

I used to work on a resort. Whenever tree roots would lift up a sidewalk we would cut out the sidewalk section, cut out the roots then pour new concrete.

I literally use to do this for 2 years and somehow he had me watching it like ive never seen it before

Excellent video !! This is a fascinating process, done by a very nice, knowledgable employee. Wish this company was near me ! Would love to know how expensive this repair work was. Thanks for sharing !

He did a killer job! He definitely sold me! Looks amazing

I've lifted an entire 4 story building with PU foam. One pipe was leaking for decades which caused the building to sink. It was magical to see hundreds of tons of structure being raised to the desired level.

It's great to see skilled workers enjoy their work. Kudos!

That's what I love about RU-vid, I end up watching something that I didn't come here for.

Right there a guy who likes and knows his job!!! I hope you give him a good tip!!!

Nothing helps make your job easier than having someone watching you work
