Concrete Leveling Photo Album: Concrete Repair in Manchester, TN

This customer in Manchester, TN, had sinking and cracking on their porch and under the carport. These cracks were causing tripping hazards. Cracked concrete happens when part of a concrete slab breaks and sinks into underlying soil that has compressed or washed away. After lifting the concrete as much as possible, we applied Nexus Pro to all cracks and joints around the porch and carport.

Unlevel Concrete

If you have sinking concrete around your home, we can lift and restore your concrete to help eliminate trip hazards and pooling water problems. We level concrete driveways, walkways, patios, pool decks, and slabs using a proven polyurethane foam injection solution called PolyLevel®

Tripping Hazzard

With PolyLevel, we can quickly restore the appearance and safety of your concrete without the mess or cost of replacement or traditional mudjacking.

Causes

The causes of concrete settlement and sinking are the same whether it's a driveway, walkway, patio, garage floor, or pool deck. As soil underneath a concrete slab shrinks, settles or washes away, this leaves empty space, or voids, beneath the slab. With the soil no longer supporting the slab, the concrete will sink, creating an uneven surface.

The Solution

PolyLevel uses a high-density polyurethane foam to fill voids and stabilize and lift sinking concrete slabs. The expanding properties of the two-part urethane formula allows 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.

Cracked Concrete

Cracked concrete happens when part of a concrete slab breaks and sinks into underlying soil that has compressed or washed away. These cracks aren't just unsightly; they offer moisture a way to seep beneath the slab. This can cause the underlying soil to soften or even wash away completely. That in turn can cause the slab to crack further as it sinks into the void left by the washed-away soil.

Cracked Concrete Solutions

NexusPro sealant is a long-lasting solution for repairing cracks in any concrete slab.

Cracks Sealed

Because it is silicone-based, not urethane-based, NexusPro won't degrade over time, even when exposed to UV radiation and extreme temperatures. This ensures that it remains flexible and waterproof for years.

NexusPro

The NexusPro solution is installed by a highly trained crew that specializes in concrete repair and protection. First, the cracks are drilled, smoothed and prepared with non-absorbent backer rod filler. Then, the NexusPro sealant is inserted in the prepared crack or control joint. Finally, the cracks are detailed with a thin layer of native sand, giving the concrete a uniform, finished appearance. And, of course, sealed concrete cracks mean no unsightly weeds growing through.

Joints Sealed

To prevent moisture from seeping into the soil beneath, those cracks need to be sealed, as do the control joints that were cut between the slabs when they were first poured.
