Concrete Lifting and Leveling Before & After Photos

Check out how we fixed this sinking and settling concrete porch area. Quality 1st Basement Systems met with a homeowner in Phillipsburg, NJ  to provide them a solution for the unsettled porch area they had been dealing with for quit some time. Our team used  Polylevel to lift, level and stabilize each concrete slab area. Stabilizing the concrete will prevent future movement and settlement since it fills the void between the weak soil and concrete. This environmentally friendly and waterproof, polyurethane foam is the perfect solution for settling concrete that is not crumbling. 

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. 

This Phillipsburg, NJ homeowner reached out to our team of concrete repair experts after noticing settlement near their driveway, to avoid potentially dangerous walking conditions and a decline to the structural integrity of the walkway they decided it was time to find a permanent solution. We were able to set up a formal meeting with our system design specialist Joseph, who was able to examine the issue and supply the owner with a reliable fix. Shortly after this evaluation our foreman Ash and his crew arrived at the home and began installing our fortifying PolyLevel Foam Injections beneath the slabs to lift and restore them to their initial height. To complete the process the crew also applied our ultraviolet resistant NexusPro Joint Sealant to the cracks and crevices of the slabs to safeguard against erosion. With these powerful products in place this driveway is now without a doubt entirely protected from further settlement obstacles.

Notice in the before photo how the concrete slabs around this West Deptford home's pool were sunken, being a tripping hazard. This homeowner worried about costly damage, particularly to the pool liner as well. With our PolyLevel system, our team, led by our concrete foreman Ramon, expertly leveled the slab. As the after photo shows, the poolside is now leveled. 

After years of seasonal shifting and settling, this homeowner from West Deptford, NJ noticed that a concrete slab near the steps in their backyard had sunk several inches, creating an uneven surface and a clear trip hazard. What once was a smooth path from their patio to the lawn had become a safety concern for their family and guests.

Rather than replacing the entire slab, the homeowner opted for a quicker, less invasive fix with PolyLevel. A local crew drilled small holes into the slab and injected the expanding polyurethane foam underneath. Within minutes, the slab was lifted back to its original height, perfectly aligned with the steps. The process was clean, efficient, and completed in just a few hours, leaving her backyard safer and looking better than it had in years.
