A homeowner in North Brunswick, New Jersey was noticing their pool patio was starting to sink and settle. The reason this happens is because concrete is poured over backfilled soil around the home. Overtime, this loose soil settles and creates a void under the concrete. Another common issue is when water runs down through the cracks, it washes the soil out as it passes through. These voids cause the concrete so shift and settle. The homeowner called Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Jeff Pitek, was able to help them. He suggested a polyurethane foam to lift the concrete and our foreman installed the PolyLevel System into the concrete. This is done by drilling small, penny-sized holes into the slab and the polymer is injected into the voids. The PolyLevel has expanding properties that allow for lifting and leveling of the slab. Now, the homeowner knows the cause of the settlement and does not have to worry about it anymore.
Quality 1st Basement Systems lifted this sinking concrete in Somerset County with ease. The installation team injected PolyLevel underneath the slab. PolyLevel expands and lifts sinking slabs back into a level position, preventing trip hazards. This is a much better method than mudjacking, which is expensive and messy!
Quality 1st Basement Systems injected an expandable foam called PolyLevel underneath this sinking concrete slab. The foam filled the void underneath the concrete, pushing it back up and supporting it. Now this sidewalk in Somerset county is even and looks much better.
A Morristown, NJ home had a sinking pool deck, so the homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. The concrete slabs were settled creating a trip hazard along the edge of the pool. We used the Polylevel Injection to lift and level the sinking concrete slabs. After sealing the gaps to prevent water erosion, the pool deck was stabilized.
A homeowner in Oak Ridge, New Jersey noticed their concrete walkway was beginning to sink and settle. Soil becomes either too wet or too dry underneath the slab causing the concrete to shift and settle, creating uneven surfaces and dangerous tripping hazards.
The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Jeff Pitek, was able to help them find a solution. He suggested a polyurethane foam be injected into the voids to lift the concrete. Our foreman, Victor Leon, installed the PolyLevel System. This is done by drilling tiny holes into the concrete slab and injecting the PolyLevel foam underneath. The expanding properties of the polyurethane allow for an accurate lift and leveling of the slab. Now, the homeowner does not have to worry about dangerous tripping hazards while walking into their home.
