Sunken Concrete Patio Transformation In Monroe Township, NJ
Challenge
A homeowner located in Monroe Township, NJ, was becoming overwhelmed as a result of dealing with persistent settlement issues around their backyard patio area. The patio, a crucial part of their outdoor living space, had developed significant cracks and uneven surfaces over time. Despite various attempts to address the problem, nothing seemed to offer a long-term solution. Frustrated with the recurring indications of surface decay and the lack of successful results on their end, the homeowner decided to seek professional help.
The patio had demonstrated a noticeable slope and uneven cracked areas possibly permitting water to infiltrate, ultimately creating safety hazards and diminishing its visual appeal.
Water pooling in the cracks and gaps exacerbated the problem, potentially causing further damage to the underlying structure of the walkway.
These issues not only affected the appearance of the patio but also raised concerns about safety and potential long-term damage if not properly addressed.
After researching and receiving recommendations from local contractors, the homeowner decided to contact our team at Quality 1st, a company known state wide for its expertise in foundation and concrete repair solutions.
Solution
We swiftly set up a formal meeting with our system design specialist Joseph, who after reaching the home started conducting a extensive evaluation of the entire property, specifically to provide the owner with a repair approach catered to their exact needs.
After completing this inspection, our specialist proposed a two-part solution, utilizing our heavy-duty PolyLevel Foam Injections and our ultraviolet resistant NexusPro Joint Sealant to effectively eliminate the settlement issues.
This method first requires our foreman Ash and his crew to begin drilling small penny-sized holes into the patio slab at strategic injection points. The PolyLevel foam was then administered through these holes, lifting and leveling the slab to its original position. The foam expanded and cured quickly, providing a stable and even surface. As well as, completely strengthening the once weakened slabs by increasing its load bearing capabilities, due to its ability to fill in voids or empty pockets created from poorly compressed fill soil beneath. This technique is extremely advantageous due to its minimal disruption, quick application, and durable results.
To address cosmetic flaws on the surface, the team cleaned the cracks and gaps in the patio to ensure proper adhesion of our NexusPro Joint Sealant. This advanced sealant is designed to fill and seal cracks in concrete, preventing water infiltration and protecting the surface from further damage.
The patio was finally returned to a leveled and smooth state, with all previous uneven areas corrected. The homeowner could safely use and enjoy their outdoor space without unnecessary concerns about tripping hazards or structural instability.
The overall appearance of the patio improved greatly, restoring its visual appeal and enhancing the property's value.
The homeowner was extremely delighted with the outcome. The patio looked as good as new, and the long-term solutions provided by Quality 1st offered much needed peace of mind. The professionalism and efficiency of the team, who completed the job with minimal disruption, were greatly appreciated.
This particular case demonstrates the effectiveness of implementing PolyLevel Foam Injections and NexusPro Joint Sealant in resolving concrete settlement issues.
