This homeowner in Hainesport, New Jersey noticed their concrete sidewalk was sinking and becoming unlevel. This can happen when concrete is poured over poorly backfilled soil. Over time, this soil settles and creates voids underneath. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist provided a thorough inspection and suggested they use polyurethane foam. Our foremen used our PolyLevel Injections foam underneath the concrete. This process is repeated until the concrete is brought to a level position. When the job was complete, the homeowner was satisfied with the outcome and they were able to safely walk on their sidewalk without the concern of tripping hazards!
Quality 1st Basement Systems lifted the concrete at this Pennington, New Jersey property with PolyLevel. PolyLevel raised the sunken concrete up into place. Now the concrete is level and the homeowner no longer worries about it being a dangerous trip hazard outside of his home.
As you can see in the picture above, this slab in front of the back door of this home had settled. Our team raised the slab by injecting PolyLevel foam underneath to raise and stabilize it permanently.
The walkway in front of a home in Mount Holly, NJ had a serious settlement issue. The walkway had sank on a slant which made is unsafe for guest to use the actual walkway area. Our Concrete Repair Specialist met with the homeowner to inspect the concrete pathway and determine whether our concrete raising solution was the solution he needed to raise the concrete slab. Jeff was able to check beneath the slab using a scope, to see how deep the concrete was. Since concrete sinks due to the lack of support of the soil, Jeff recommended PolyLevel. PolyLevel provides the additional support the concrete slab needs to be stabilized all while preventing future settlement.
