A homeowner living in Chatham, NJ was experiencing sinking concrete. The back patio area had settled roughly 3 inches and the front walkway had slabs with almost 4 inches of settlement creating a dangerous trip hazard. Upon arrival, Andy noticed the trip hazards immediately when getting out of his vehicle. Not only did they create a dangerous entrance to the front of the house but also an eye sour to the property. Andy met with the homeowner and ventured to the backyard where he could visibly see the unevenness of the patio area. 

Andy recommended our PolyLevel Solution for the concrete issues around this Chatham, NJ home. In just a short time our PolyLevel team was out to raise the slabs back towards their original level. First our team did a full walk through to make sure the surrounding areas were cleared and out of the way. They spoke with the homeowner and made sure they fully understood the installation process and reassured them that half way through they would check in and update them on progress. Lastly they made sure the homeowner knew that they were welcomed at any time to watch or ask questions. 

Once the entire area was cleared, the crew began drilling small penny-size holes into each settling slab. Using special equipment,the PolyLevel is injected beneath the slab filing all voids underneath between the concrete and soil. The polyurethane foam expands and begins to lift the slab. Once the correct amount is injected and the slab is back towards its desired level, it begins to harden for permanent stabilization. 

This homeowner in Chatham, NJ had a cold and damp crawl space. She had all the warning signs to a poorly insulated  space underneath her home. The floors on the first level were always cold, drafts were coming up through the floor and her heating bills grew trying to heat her home. Her pipes had froze twice already and winter had just begun. 

We sent System Design Specialist Phil, out to inspect the crawl space and design a solution to her crawl spaces needs.Phil Recommended our heat barrier known as SilverGlo for the walls and the rim joists. Next a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier would be installed over the SilverGlo as a moisture barrier to protect the space against dampness such as water leaks. Each crawl space vent would be replaced with our air tight and sealed crawl space vent to create easy access to the crawl space without the drafts. Sealing the crawl space off from the cold outside environment will allow the SilverGlo to reflect the existing heat back into the space to create a warmer floor and a more comfortable home.
