A homeowner from Woodbury, NJ was noticing sinking and settling of her walkway concrete of about 3 inches. This sinkage created a huge crack in his walkway step and the concrete was overall unstable. The homeowner called Quality 1st Basements to help lift up her settled concrete. Our PolyLevel foam was injected beneath the sunken concrete to lift and stabilize the concrete. Next, our team applied NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal the cracks and prevent water from wearing down the concrete. The homeowner finally had a stable walkway that was ready to be walked on just 15 minutes after curing!
This Woodbury, NJ homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after discovering their concrete walkway was sinking. We had our Systems Design Specialist, Chris Bowe, inspect the premises. Afterward, Chris presented his findings to the homeowner and suggested the Polylevel Injection Method would be the perfect solution for the homeowner.
Polylevel is a better solution than mudjacking because it is stronger, and provides a long-lasting solution. Unlike mudjacking, polylevel is waterproof, environmentally friendly, and recovers within fifteen minutes. The installation process is less messy and will not ruin the look of the concrete. Since the installation, the concrete walkway had not sunk, and the homeowner was fully satisfied.
A homeowner in Pitman, NJ contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to repair their sinking concrete sidewalk. We solved this issue by using our PolyLevel Injection to raise the concrete again. Thanks to our System Design Specialist Nelson, and our foreman Ramon, the homeowner's peace of mind was restored!
The installation to raise a sinking concrete slab is very simple. Small penny-sized holes are drilled into sections of the concrete and polyurethane foam, PolyLevel is injected underneath the slab. We found that concrete sinks due to the soil underneath the slab. Soil becomes weak when it is too wet or too dry and can no longer support the weight of the concrete. PolyLevel is a lightweight foam that provides additional support, permanently stabilizing the patio area.
Don't ignore your sinking concrete! As soon as you start to see settlement or a trip hazard, address the area with a professional right away to avoid an accident. Our team raised an entire concrete porch area located in Phillipsburg, New Jersey with our concrete raising system known as, PolyLevel. Since this concrete porch was in great condition with no cracking, our team injected the PolyLevel Foam underneath, to fill the voids and raise the slabs back towards their original level.
