Recently, a homeowner in Mount Holly, NJ began noticing that their concrete entryway sidewalk was becoming uneven and disheveled. The issue was traced to concrete settlement caused by soil displacement and prolonged exposure to moisture, which created sunken areas and a deteriorated surface. Concerned about safety hazards and the impact on their home’s curb appeal, the homeowner turned to our team for a lasting and effective solution.
After assessing the situation, we developed a customized repair plan using PolyLevel Foam Injections, a high-strength polyurethane foam designed to lift and stabilize settled concrete. By carefully injecting the foam beneath the sidewalk, we were able to fill voids in the soil and gently raise the concrete back to its original level. The result was a smooth, secure, and fully restored walkway, giving the homeowner a renewed sense of pride and confidence in the appearance and safety of their home!
The unmistakable signs of a sinking front sidewalk had created both a functional and aesthetic headache for a homeowner in Mount Holly, NJ. Beyond the obvious concerns regarding diminished curb appeal, the uneven concrete slabs presented a clear and growing danger, creating multiple potential tripping hazards for residents and guests. Recognizing that these problems stem from issues beneath the surface, namely soil compression and washout, the homeowner sought the expertise of Quality 1st for a permanent remedy.
Upon arrival, our skilled team conducted a precise evaluation to map the exact extent and severity of the concrete settlement, which allowed us to devise a customized, highly effective repair approach utilizing our advanced concrete stabilization products.
The core of the solution was the injection of our ultra-stabilized PolyLevel Foam Injections. This state-of-the-art process involves injecting structural, high-density polyurethane foam beneath the settled slabs through small, dime-sized access points. As the foam expands, it fills the existing voids and gently, yet powerfully, lifts the concrete sections back to a safe, level elevation. Once the sidewalk was fully stabilized and leveled, our team applied the UV-resistant NexusPro Joint Sealant to all surrounding cracks and joints. This flexible, durable sealant prevents water from penetrating beneath the slab, which stops future soil erosion and settlement while providing a clean, finished appearance.

The small holes are then covered with cement and within 15 minutes the slabs could be walked on or driven over! This installation is quick and easy causing no disruption to the surrounding areas.
