This concrete patio in Pittstown, New Jersey, was sinking and becoming unleveled. This happens because concrete is poured over backfilled soil around the home. Over time, this loose soil settles and creates voids under the concrete. As water runs through the cracks and joints in the concrete, it washes out the soil as it passes through. This causes the concrete to shift and settle. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems, and our System Design Specialist, Jeff Pitek came up with a plan to fix this issue. He suggested a polyurethane foam to fill the space under the concrete. Our foreman, Luis Aguirre, used the PolyLevel Injections to stabilize the concrete. This is done by drilling tiny holes in the slab so the polyurethane foam can fill the voids underneath. This will allow the concrete to be lifted and leveled.
A homeowner in Somerdale, NJ noticed their pool patio was sinking and settling. Trip hazards formed in multiple areas and close to sections where you enter and exit the pool. To prepare for summer, this homeowner wanted to get their concrete pool deck repaired quickly. Our team recommended, PolyLevel, be injected underneath each sinking concrete area to lift and level the each slab. Raising the pool deck back towards its original level, removed the trip hazards and permanently stabilized the entire pool area.
Quality 1st Basement Systems has tripping hazards in Warren county covered. The crew injected PolyLevel underneath this sinking slab, raising it back up into place. PolyLevel is cleaner and cheaper than mudjacking. Now it is no longer a tripping hazard and the sidewalk is much safer.
This front step of a Franklinville, NJ property had sunk about 3-4 inches and needed to be lifted. Quality 1st Basements injected PolyLevel beneathe the slab step. The PolyLevel foam expanded and lifted the concrete back to its original position.
A homeowner in Franklinville, NJ noticed their stairs leading out to the backyard patio were sinking and pulling away from the foundation. Hoping for a solution that wouldn't involve replacing the stairs, they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to learn more about our concrete raising solution, PolyLevel. Our Concrete Repair Specialist, went out and took photos and measurements of the area. He noticed that roughly two inches of settlement occurred and that our polyurethane foam, PolyLevel could raise the existing concrete back towards original position. Take a look!
