This elevated front porch was sinking into the soil, which had caused a gap to form between the home's vinyl siding and the porch floor. The floor of the porch was also angled down towards the home, which made the porch awkward to walk on and put furniture on. Another problem was that the porch was covered, but whenever it stormed really badly, the rain ran towards the homes foundation. We fixed the slanted porch by injecting our polyurethane foam through the slab on the side closer side of the home. After we carefully injected the slab, we were able to even the porch back out again, fixing all the problems the homeowner wished for.
We repaired this concrete porch in Richmond, KY, by lifting it and stabilizing it with two different combined solutions. The porch slab was pretty thick, and the footing was pretty deep, so we needed to send our piering crew out to ensure we could lift the porch back up with our helical piers. We then sent out our PolyLevel crew to fill the voids the piers left underneath the slab with our foam solution. You may notice our PolyLevel crew was also able to level out the stairs leading up to the front porch. They also sealed the crack in the sidewalk and the joint between the brick siding and the porch slab using our NexusPro sealant. The easiest way to notice how much we lifted the porch by is to look at the gap between the two concrete steps just beneath the front door in both the before and after picture. The homeowner was very happy with the outcome, and can get back to relaxing on the front porch with their cat.
This house had some beautifully crafted concrete, that was unfortunately sinking into the ground, causing slight cracks in the patio. In order to stop it from sinking and from cracking any further, we injected PolyLevel foam under the concrete to stop the sinking for good.
This customers porch steps were sinking four to five inches into the ground, which could result in a potential hazard. Luckily our PolyLeveling system was able to raise the steps to the exact level needed very neatly.
In Campbellsville, KY, this homeowner had a sidewalk that had settled unevenly over time, creating dangerous trip hazards and gaps between the concrete slabs. The uneven walkway not only looked unsightly but also posed a safety risk for anyone walking to and from the home.
Our crew used PolyLevel® foam injection to lift and level the sunken sidewalk, restoring a smooth, even walking surface. Once the slabs were properly aligned, we sealed the joints and cracks with NexusPro®, a flexible, long-lasting sealant that prevents water from seeping beneath the concrete and causing future settlement. The sidewalk is now level, safer to walk on, and protected from the elements for years to come.
