Concrete Lifting and Leveling Before & After Photos

This elevated front porch was sinking into the soil, which had caused a gap to form between the houses 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 to put furniture on. Another problem was that the porch was covered, but whenever it stormed really badly, the rain was directed 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.

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. 

This concrete pad set in the driveway for this homeowner had a big crack down the middle. The soil underneath the slab washed out near the entrance to the garages foundation, resulting in the slab to bend and crack towards the garage entrance. In order to fix this slab we injected polyurethane foam under the sunken part, which raised it even with the rest of the driveway again. We then sealed the crack to make sure water can't penetrate the concrete. The result is a happy homeowner who doesn't have to worry about tripping on the crack any longer!

This slab foundation home in Stamping Ground, KY, was sinking into problematic soil causing the slab to sink by about 3/4 of an inch. Because the slab was light enough, we were able to raise it with our PolyLevel expansive foam jacking method. As you can see in the after picture, our foam was able to completely fill the void, and even lifted it back up a bit.

We first leveled out some of the slightly sunken slabs in this driveway with our PolyLevel foam jacking method in Dry Ridge, KY. After we stabilized the slabs, we then sealed all the joints with our NexusPro joint sealant. Our NexusPro sealant is UV resistant and will keep water and debris out of the control joints, all while still allowing natural expansion and contraction in the concrete. We then topped off the project by spraying our SealantPro chemical all across the surface of the driveway, "SealantPro dramatically extends concrete's lifespan by defending it from damage caused by water and chemical absorption, which can result in pitting, flaking and staining. Unlike other sealants that degrade over time, SealantPro penetrates the slab and chemically bonds with the concrete itself, while a temporary colorant indicates which surfaces have been treated. In just one professional application, SealantPro forms a clear, strong and permanent barrier that prevents water and other substances from penetrating the concrete." The result of this project is a dramatic increase in the expected lifespan of the homes outside concrete and a major boost in curb appeal.
