This Kentucky home's porch had started shifting through the years and becoming uneven. The shifting left large cracks, which led to water being able to infiltrate the slab easier and shift and crack it even more! The homeowners were concerned that if they waited any longer to seal and lift their porch that the cracks would become worse and their house value would plummet.
The homeowners were flipping through Yellow Pages looking for concrete repair companies and found us. They took advantage of our free estimates and inspection and called right away. Upon further inspection by our trained inspector, we knew exactly what to do!
Their porch needed to be lifted and sealed with our nationally backed products!
First, we lifted with PolyLevel, which uses high-density polyurethane foam to fill voids and stabilize and lift sinking concrete slabs. The expanding properties of the two-part urethane formula allow for accurate leveling of the slab. The result is a waterproof repair that's much more permanent than mudjacking and other common concrete repair methods.
Second, we used NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially engineered to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry.
Third, we sat back and looked at the permanent solution to the homeowner's problems!
As the years go by, your cracks will get worse and your slabs will settle more. These can lead to dangerous tripping hazards and an eyesore home that was once perfect. Call today to get your free inspection AND estimate!
These homeowners in Murray Kentucky wanted to repaint their front porch but were unable to because of the number of cracks and unevenness of the concrete. They contacted Frontier Basement Systems for a free inspection and a design specialist was sent to their home to address their concerns. Together with the homeowners it was decided that PolyLevel injections and some sealant were the right solutions for this home. The results? Happy homeowners who can now finish their front porch.

The "cherry on top" of the encapsulation process is our EverLast Crawl Space Door. With its water and air tight seal, it ensures no outside moisture-filled air gets inside your newly encapsulated space!
More Info About the EverLast Door:
EverLast crawl space doors from Basement Systems are made from ½-in.-thick PVC plastic that is just about indestructible. Several different door colors are available to help you match your home’s exterior color scheme. Standard sizes are available, but your Basement Systems contractor can also order and install a custom-size door.
Unlike wood crawl space doors, EverLast doors will never warp, crack, shrink or require maintenance or painting. An air and water seal is certain, thanks to the heavy-duty weather-stripping that comes with each EverLast door. Once you tighten down the installation knobs, you can feel confident that the interior of your crawl space is protected and fully isolated from exterior critters and conditions.
