A sidewalk leading up to a house in Allendale, IL was sinking, causing large gaps to appear between the slabs. To solve this issue, the PolyLevel System was installed. This will stabilize, lift, and level the concrete slabs with high-strength polyurethane foam. Pea-sized holes were drilled into the concrete and the foam was injected to fill the void underneath. This installation technique allows the foam to expand as it cures, precisely lifting the slab back up. Additionally, NexusPro Joint Sealant was installed. This will seal the joints and cracks in the concrete. It will provide long-lasting flexibility and stand up to harsh weather conditions. These systems will improve the safety of the sidewalk and restore peace of mind for years to come!

The room addition in this Brentwood, Missouri house was built off a slab foundation and water was getting in from the patio and wetting the carpet inside. Our TrenchDrain® collected the water and drained it away from the home.
We use laser transits to determine how far a foundation wall is laterally moving inward. We can measure the inside wall and look for other visible signs of this problem. Typically, a poured foundation wall will tip in at the top of the foundation. See the 2nd photo of the exterior space between the siding and foundation wall of this O'Fallon, Missouri foundation. The Foundation SupportWorks® Geo-Lock™ wall anchors system solves this problem and is cost effective to do.
Street creep causes a garage slab to force the rear wall of the garage foundation out. The rear foundation wall either bows to the exterior like in the photo of this Sunset Hills, Missouri home, or inward into a basement; however, with limited damage, isolated to the 2nd picture shown, it could be determined that in this case it is a rebar crack. Rebar that slips to the exterior of the concrete form when the foundation is being poured may later cause horizontal cracking like this. Rebar cracks are more of a cosmetic repair than a structural damage issue.
