Before & After Photos

This home's front porch in Frankfort, Kentucky was due for a concrete lifting, especially near the steps. The PolyLevel foam was able to raise one side of the concrete back to restoration without cracking or damaging the slab. The slabs will be stable for a long, long time to come for the homeowner. 

This elevated front porch was sinking into the soil, which had caused a gap to form between the houses vinyl siding and the porch floor. The floor of the porch was also angled down towards the home, which made the porch awkward to walk on and to put furniture on. Another problem was that the porch was covered, but whenever it stormed really badly, the rain was directed towards the homes foundation. We fixed the slanted porch by injecting our polyurethane foam through the slab on the side closer side of the home. After we carefully injected the slab, we were able to even the porch back out again, fixing all the problems the homeowner wished for.

When concrete slabs settle, they often create more problem than just one. This home had some settling concrete that created gaps in their driveway, sidewalk, and front porch. Settling concrete is a problem for many people. Here are the problems the homeowners were experiencing with their sinking concrete:

1. The gaps were an eyesore.

2. The gaps could easily cause someone to trip.

3. The cracks made the concrete more vulnerable to rain penetration, thus decreasing the expected lifespan of the concrete.

In order to fix all these problems, we decided to inject our polyurethane foam under all the sunken slabs. This foam is clean, strong, and quick settling, which makes it a better alternative than mudjacking. We then sealed all the thinned out cracks with our concrete sealant, which will prevent water from getting between the cracks again. The result was a happy homeowner. 

This concrete pad set in the driveway for this homeowner had a big crack down the middle. The soil underneath the slab washed out near the entrance to the garages foundation, resulting in the slab to bend and crack towards the garage entrance. In order to fix this slab we injected polyurethane foam under the sunken part, which raised it even with the rest of the driveway again. We then sealed the crack to make sure water can't penetrate the concrete. The result is a happy homeowner who doesn't have to worry about tripping on the crack any longer!

In Wilmore, KY, this homeowner’s front porch had started to settle, creating an uneven gap where the concrete slab met the brick wall. To restore both the look and safety of the entryway, we lifted the porch using PolyLevel®, our quick and precise concrete lifting system. Once the slab was level, we sealed the joint between the brick wall and concrete with NexusPro®, a durable, flexible sealant that protects against water intrusion and further settling.
