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. 

This driveway had seen better days before we went to level it all out with our expansive foam jacking method. The troubled soil that rested beneath the driveway was settling unevenly, causing the driveway slabs to crack and bend. We jacked the slabs with our PolyLevel foam to even out the driveway, eliminating the risk of tripping. We also filled in all the cracks and seams with our NexusPro sealant, which will prevent the weeds from growing out again. 

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.

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.
