Sunken Concrete Front Porch Lifted and Sealed in Cave City, KY

This Kentucky home had an unpleasant looking porch that had shifted and became uneven. This created not only an eyesore and cracks but also a tripping hazard. The homeowners knew they needed to find a permanently fix before anything got worse and the value of the home decreased. 

They called us and we knew exactly what to do! 

We started by leveling the concrete slab porch with PolyLevel by injecting the foam below the concrete. PolyLevel's lightweight makes it useful where denser fill material might impose an undesirable load on weak soils. Despite its lightweight, PolyLevel can support substantial loads; it typically provides greater lifting power than mudjacking.

After lifting the slab, it was time to seal the cracks to make sure no more water infiltrated the cracks.  Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry! NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially engineered to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions.

The homeowners now have a safe and great looking front porch!
