Concrete Lifting and Leveling Before & After Photos

When concrete slabs settle, they often create more problem than just one. This home had some settling concrete that created gaps in their driveway, sidewalk, and front porch. Settling concrete is a problem for many people. Here are the problems the homeowners were experiencing with their sinking concrete:

1. The gaps were an eyesore.

2. The gaps could easily cause someone to trip.

3. The cracks made the concrete more vulnerable to rain penetration, thus decreasing the expected lifespan of the concrete.

In order to fix all these problems, we decided to inject our polyurethane foam under all the sunken slabs. This foam is clean, strong, and quick settling, which makes it a better alternative than mudjacking. We then sealed all the thinned out cracks with our concrete sealant, which will prevent water from getting between the cracks again. The result was a happy homeowner. 

Polylevel Injection uses a high-density foam that is injected under the concrete slab which expands and raises the slab back into place. You can see the difference when you look at the space between the vinyl siding of the home and the concrete floor.

This front porch was sunken into the ground by a couple inches, allowing dirt to wash up and other cosmetic issues. We sprayed PolyLevel foam under the concrete to raise the porch back up as well as seal it from rain. 

PolyLevel work was needed on this front porch slab, which was sinking into the ground because it was on the same type of soil as the right side of the home, (which received piers.) PolyLevel requires small injection holes calculatedly spread across the porch to carefully lift the porch back to its original position. The PolyLevel foam is very durable and light, so it won't allow the porch to continue to sink after lifted.

This sidewalk had sunk partially into the soil. We raised it back to health with PolyLevel foam.
