Before & After Photos

For this school in Berea, KY, we leveled out the concrete slabs surrounding the front entrance. We receive many calls for public areas with high walking-traffic volume because these places can be held liable if someone trips and hurts themselves. We made sure to level out all the tripping hazards for this school with our PolyLevel foam jacking. After we leveled everything out, the administrators were relieved that they spent part of their spending budget wisely with The Basement Doctor. Not only are the slabs even now, but they will still that way for a long, long time. 

This elevated front porch was sinking into the soil, which had caused a gap to form between the houses vinyl siding and the porch floor. The floor of the porch was also angled down towards the home, which made the porch awkward to walk on and to put furniture on. Another problem was that the porch was covered, but whenever it stormed really badly, the rain was directed towards the homes foundation. We fixed the slanted porch by injecting our polyurethane foam through the slab on the side closer side of the home. After we carefully injected the slab, we were able to even the porch back out again, fixing all the problems the homeowner wished for.

This home's back porch was sinking into the soil by a couple inches. We raised it back to the height it started at by using PolyLevel foam. 

When concrete slabs settle, they often create more problem than just one. This home had some settling concrete that created gaps in their driveway, sidewalk, and front porch. Settling concrete is a problem for many people. Here are the problems the homeowners were experiencing with their sinking concrete:

1. The gaps were an eyesore.

2. The gaps could easily cause someone to trip.

3. The cracks made the concrete more vulnerable to rain penetration, thus decreasing the expected lifespan of the concrete.

In order to fix all these problems, we decided to inject our polyurethane foam under all the sunken slabs. This foam is clean, strong, and quick settling, which makes it a better alternative than mudjacking. We then sealed all the thinned out cracks with our concrete sealant, which will prevent water from getting between the cracks again. The result was a happy homeowner. 

Polylevel Injection uses a high-density foam that is injected under the concrete slab which expands and raises the slab back into place. You can see the difference when you look at the space between the vinyl siding of the home and the concrete floor.
