A home in Dawson Springs, KY, had a sidewalk that exhibited significant cracks and unlevel areas, a result of weak points in the concrete. Similarly, the driveway suffered from numerous cracks due to poorly compacted soil, which led to the formation of voids underneath the surface. The PolyLevel injection effectively lifted the sunken areas and filled the voids beneath the concrete, returning the surfaces to their proper levels. To enhance the durability of these repairs, NexusPro, a premium joint sealant, was applied to seal the cracks and joints, preventing water infiltration and further soil erosion. This combined approach provided comprehensive stabilization and repair of the concrete surfaces, ensuring a long-lasting solution to the home's previous concrete problems.
As you can see from the before picture, there was a huge crack in this concrete. It was causing some serious tripping hazards as well as being unsightly and the homeowners wanted to get it fixed. We were able to do PolyLevel injections and lift and level the slab back to its original position.
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!
Most concrete problems are caused by poor soil. Soil can soften due to excessive moisture, shrink due to drought or become unstable because of inadequate initial compaction. These situations cause voids to form, which in turn allows the heavy concrete above to sink and become uneven. As concrete slabs sink, they can crack and break, creating jagged, raised edges that are not only an eyesore but also potentially dangerous.
Our team used PolyLevel to lift the sunken slab and NexusPro to seal the crack.
