Repairing Patio Settlement In Monroe Township, NJ

Monday, September 9th, 2024 by Rebecca Brossa

Challenge

This Monroe Township, NJ, homeowner experienced severe settlement issues located around their backyard patio, resulting in noticeable unevenness and compromising safety standards. The patio’s structural integrity was declining, making it both an eyesore and creating potentially fatal walking conditions for residents and guests.

It was clearly evident that this patio had become increasingly disheveled, causing tripping hazards and affecting the overall usability of the outdoor space. Traditional repair methods had proven inadequate, and the homeowner sought a more effective solution to restore the patio to its original condition.

Solution

The homeowner decided to reach out to our team of concrete repair professionals at Quality 1st. After a thorough inspection was conducted on the entire property by our system design specialist Chris, we recommended two key interventions specifically catered to assess this owners exact repair needs.

Instituting PolyLevel was the first step in the repair process, which is a high-density polyurethane based foam that is injected beneath the concrete to lift and level settled slabs.

To begin this procedure our foreman Ash and his crew began drilling small, strategically placed holes into the patio. PolyLevel foam was injected through these holes, expanding and lifting the settled concrete back into its proper position. This method ensured precise leveling with minimal disruption to the surrounding areas.

Next the crew administered our ultraviolet resistant NexusPro Joint Sealant. This flexible, durable sealant is solely designed to fill and seal joints and cracks on disheveled concrete surfaces.

Once the patio was properly leveled using PolyLevel, the team applied NexusPro Joint Sealant to the cracks and crevices of the walkway. This not only improved the patio’s appearance but also protected it from future water infiltration and possible damage from exposure to sunlight.

The patio was effectively leveled, eliminating tripping hazards and improving overall safety, essentially restoring overall safety standards and functionality. And with the implementation of NexusPro Joint Sealant, we were able to provide a clean, finished look and addressed existing cracks ultimately enhancing aesthetic appeal.

The combination of PolyLevel Foam Injections and NexusPro Joint Sealant offered a durable, long-lasting solution that certifiably protects against future settling and joint deterioration, ensuring long-term structural durability for many years ahead!
