Concrete Lifting and Leveling Before & After Photos

In Carrollton, KY, a homeowner faced a troubling hazard: an uneven driveway, posing risks and diminishing curb appeal. Luckily, The Basement Doctor was on the case. As you can see in the before photo, the misaligned concrete was more than an eyesore; it was an accident waiting to happen. Through the expert application of PolyLevel, we were able to precisely lift and level the slabs, instantly transforming the drive. The NexusPro sealing method then ensured the finish was not only beautiful, as seen in the after photo but enduringly so. Together, these solutions revived the driveway to its safe and appealing best, showcasing our dedication to providing both a remarkable customer experience and a lasting resolution.

The sidewalk leading up to this home in Shelbyville, KY was sinking into the soil. To reverse this process, we injected polyurethane foam under the sidewalk. The foam is so strong that as it expands under the concrete, it is able to raise the slabs. By using calculated amounts of foam for each different slab, we are able to get the sidewalk level again. After everything is leveled, we then sealed the slabs together at the seams. This process was way cheaper than replacing the sidewalk completely, and for that, the homeowner was very happy with the outcome. 

In Shelbyville, KY, this sidewalk had settled so badly that the concrete slabs were nearly buried in the soil — grass was even starting to grow across the surface. Not only was it unsightly, but it also created a serious tripping hazard. Our team lifted the slabs back to their proper position using PolyLevel®, our quick, clean concrete lifting solution. We then sealed the joints with NexusPro®, a long-lasting, flexible sealant that protects against water intrusion and future settling.

This driveway in Mount Eden, KY, had spider-web shaped cracks in the concrete surface. This was a problem, as the cracks invited water to seep down below into the soil underneath the driveway. This driveway had a catch basin at the bottom because the grade of the land sent lots of ground water towards the driveway. When water is able to infiltrate the soil beneath a driveway, it can cause the soil to wash away, leaving empty space for the driveway to settle into. We first lifted the driveway with our PolyLevel foam injections to fill the voids underneath the concrete. We then sealed the cracks with our NexusPro sealant to boost the appeal of the driveway and to prevent further soil washout from occurring. No doubt this project will extend the lifespan of the driveway exponentially. 

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.
