ABT Foundation Solutions transitioned to new ownership at the beginning of 2024, with Dan Dillenberg and Mickey Stachurski assuming leadership roles. This change enables the company to maintain its delivery of foundation repair and associated services to homeowners and businesses throughout Northeast Wisconsin. Among these services, concrete leveling addresses uneven or sunken concrete surfaces using polyjacking techniques, supporting structural stability in various applications.
Concrete leveling in Appleton, WI, targets issues such as settled or cracked slabs resulting from soil erosion, poor soil compaction, water accumulation, tree roots, or extreme weather conditions. These factors create voids beneath the concrete, leading to uneven surfaces on driveways, patios, sidewalks, garage floors, or basement areas. The process restores these surfaces without requiring complete replacement, which preserves existing materials and reduces waste.
The polyjacking method involves several steps executed by trained crews. Initially, the slab undergoes cleaning to remove dirt and debris. Small holes are then drilled at strategic locations through the concrete. State-of-the-art polyurethane foam is injected into these holes, where it expands to fill voids and lift the sunken sections back to their original position. Finally, the holes receive filling and patching to achieve a smooth finish. This technique allows you to be able to walk and drive on it after about 15-20 minutes post-procedure, though heavy vehicles or equipment require a 24-hour curing period before use.
Compared to traditional mudjacking, which uses a mud-like substance, polyjacking offers advantages including a cleaner application, smaller injection points, and enhanced longevity. The polyurethane foam carries a five-year warranty, reflecting its durability and reliability for long-term performance. Maintenance following the procedure includes addressing drainage concerns, regular cleaning, and protection from severe weather to sustain the leveled state.
Homeowners and businesses benefit from this service through improved safety, as uneven concrete poses tripping hazards and potential injury risks. It also enhances functionality and aesthetics, preventing further deterioration that could lead to more extensive repairs. By opting for leveling over replacement, property owners manage costs effectively, with expenses varying based on the area's size and damage extent.
The service begins with a complimentary inspection to evaluate settlement or cracking degrees. Certified installers, who participate in weekly training sessions, perform the work without involving subcontractors, ensuring consistent quality. Projects generally commence within three weeks after the assessment, and the company handles 800 to 1,200 jobs each year across the region.
Under the new ownership, ABT Foundation Solutions leverages the extensive backgrounds of its leaders. Mickey Stachurski entered the basement industry in 2008 as a helper, progressing to foreman and project manager roles, emphasizing quality repairs and cost-effective solutions. Dan Dillenberg started assisting in a family business at a young age, gaining experience in restaurant, retail, and management before joining as a project manager in 2014, where he has supported numerous homeowners with repair needs.
The company employs a team including project managers like Ryan McKenna, Zach Pingel, David Longsine, and Joe Shipman, each bringing years of industry experience. Production is overseen by Steve Mathison, with foremen specializing in structural, water, gutter, and concrete lifting tasks. Support staff handle business development, service management, accounting, and customer care, contributing to operational efficiency.
"Concrete leveling tackles root causes such as soil erosion and water damage to restore stable surfaces," said Mickey Stachurski, owner of ABT Foundation Solutions. "The polyjacking approach delivers precise lifting with minimal disruption to daily activities."
In addition to concrete leveling, the company provides foundation repair for structural issues, basement waterproofing to manage moisture, crawl space encapsulation for allergen reduction and energy savings, egress window installations for safety and light, and gutter systems to direct water flow. These services address a range of property concerns comprehensively.
"New ownership reinforces the commitment to trained personnel and quality materials in all services," said Dan Dillenberg, owner of ABT Foundation Solutions.
ABT Foundation Solutions maintains an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, indicating its focus on customer service and repair effectiveness. Founded in 2002, the company has operated in Northeast Wisconsin for over two decades, specializing in concrete, gutter, and basement solutions using appropriate products and methods for each project.
