Concrete Lifting and Leveling Before & After Photos

The left half of this driveway was sinking into troubled soil, causing the concrete slabs to crack and break apart. We injected our PolyLevel foam under the left side of the driveway in order to even all the slabs out. Our PolyLevel foam is light, strong, clean, and cures quickly, allowing us to install it in less than a single day. After we leveled everything out, we then sealed the cracks and gaps to make sure water and debris stay out between the slabs. The result is a smooth driveway that eliminated all tripping hazards, and added a boost in home value.

The steps leading up to this backdoor in Liberty, KY, had settled into the soil. This process had caused the stairs to slope awkwardly away from the home. To level out the stairs again, we injected our PolyLevel foam underneath them. After leveling, we then sealed the gap between the sidewalk slab and the bottom step. Now when the homeowners walk out their backdoor, they can trust that the steps they are walking on are at an even level.

This home's front porch in Frankfort, Kentucky was due for a concrete lifting, especially near the steps. The PolyLevel foam was able to raise one side of the concrete back to restoration without cracking or damaging the slab. The slabs will be stable for a long, long time to come for the homeowner. 

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.
