In Winchendon, MA, a homeowner faced a common challenge: improving the aesthetics of their garage floor, front steps, and porch to prepare their home for sale. Seeing the before photo, you can tell the concrete surfaces were in dire need of a facelift. Enter Erickson Foundation Solutions – with our DecoShield application, showcased in the after photo, we transformed these key areas into eye-catching, durable surfaces. Now, the homeowner is ready to impress potential buyers with a fresh and welcoming look.
An autobody shop in Worcester, MA had been experiencing issues with cars entering and exiting the bays due to sinking concrete. Voids underneath the concrete had caused the concrete to sink, creating an uneven surface. This business reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions to lift and stabilize the concrete.
Our Design Specialist recommended installing PolyLevel concrete leveling and NexusPro joint repair. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that is injected underneath the concrete to fill the voids and almost instantly create a level surface. This is a quick and permanent solution that costs a fraction of installing new concrete. Once the PolyLevel lifted the concrete, NexusPro was used to seal the joints between the concrete. NexusPro prevents water from invading the soil underneath the concrete, preventing concrete cracks or becoming uneven. It is resistant to UV rays to prevent the sealant from cracking, foaming, or drying.
With the concrete now lifted to its original placement, both employees and customers can rejoice that cars can easily make their way in and out of the bays.
This homeowner in Ashby, MA was concerned with the concrete walkway leading up to the entrance of their house. The walkway was uneven and full of trip hazards due to the uneven concrete. Over the years, as water eroded away the soils under the slabs, voids formed, and the concrete began to sink.
Our team proposed lifting the sunken areas with PolyLevel, a polyurethane based foam product, which effectively fills all the voids beneath the concrete and lifts it to the desired location. Demolishing and replacing this concrete walkway would be expensive and take several days to complete. With PolyLevel, our team left behind no mess, finished in a single day, and saved the homeowner money while delivering with a great solution.
The trip hazards are now gone, and they have peace of mind that guests visiting their home will be safe while walking up to the front door.
A homeowner in Cranston, Rhode Island was concerned with their concrete patio cracking and settling, creating tripping hazards. Noticing that the problem was getting worse, they wanted to lift and stabilize the concrete before further damage occurred.
Our Design Specialist, Jim Meglio, went to the home to conduct a free home inspection. After completing the inspection, he recommended installing PolyLevel to lift and level the sunken concrete. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam used to fill voids between the soil and concrete. Our installation crew drilled tiny holes in the concrete in order to inject the foam. After lifting the concrete back to its original spot, NexusPro joint repair was used to seal the cracks. NexusPro stops water from making its way underneath the concrete, preventing shifting and cracking.
With the application of these products, the patio has become a safe and more visually appealing space.
This section of concrete patio for this homeowner had cracked and settled 5 inches. Rather than completely tear out and replace the entire patio, or even sections like this, our team successfully installed PolyLevel to lift and level out the concrete slab. The results in this corner of the patio were outstanding! The patio went from being an unsightly trip hazard, to being raised up to level and safe. And no demolition required.
