Before & After Photos

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. 

Before closing their pool for the winter, a Branchburg, NJ homeowner was planning to repair their pool patio. They contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to schedule an appointment for an estimate. We arrived at the home and provided a thorough inspection of the pool patio. After, we presented our findings to the homeowner along with a quote. A week later, our crew arrived at the home and repaired the pool patio using the Polylevel Injection. Polylevel is waterproof, environmentally friendly, and takes fifteen minutes to recover, making it a durable concrete repair solution. After the repair process was complete, our crew did a final clean-up before completing the job. The pool patio looked as good as new and ready for next summer. The homeowner's peace of mind was restored. 

Our Concrete Repair Team run by PolyLevel Foreman, Ash G., was able to lift and leveling sinking slabs near this pool area. The Swim and Sport Club was concerned the trip hazards that had formed from the settlement would cause an accident if someone were to fall. 

Ash and his crew, drilled small penny-size holes into each slab. Using special equipment, polyurethane foam known as PolyLevel is injected beneath the slab, raising it back towards desired level. 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. PolyLevel is waterproof and environmentally friendly making it a perfect solution for this area!  

This concrete driveway in Flanders, NJ had settled and was making it difficult for the homeowner to drive their car down it.

The foam is lightweight but strong and able to hold heavy slabs of concrete in place for a long period of time. 

Our Concrete Repair Specialist, Nelson, worked with this Netcong, New Jersey homeowner to repair the front walkway of their home. The settlement caused trip hazards in certain areas, creating an unsafe sidewalk. To avoid an accident, our team lift and leveled each sidewalk slab to remove the trip hazard and stabilize the area to prevent future movement. PolyLevel is injected underneath the slab, filling the void between the concrete and soil underneath. The slab is brought back towards its original level, securing it in place. PolyLevel is light weight, waterproofing and environmentally friendly making it the perfect solution.
