A resident in Manalapan, New Jersey saw their pool patio was settling. This occurs because of the shrinking of the soils underneath the concrete slab. Moisture in the soil causes it to expand and become more full. The homeowner called Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Jack Huber, helped them with a solution. He suggested they use polyurethane foam to be injected underneath the concrete in order to lift it. Our foreman, Victor Leon, used the PolyLevel Injection foam which is done by drilling small holes in the concrete slab. The foam is dispersed under the slab into the voids, causing the concrete to be lifted and leveled back to its original position.
We recently received a call from a homeowner located in Manalapan, NJ who was concerned with concrete settlement near their backyard patio area. This issue if not assessed right away could result in severe structural decay as well as extremely unsafe walking conditions. Luckily our system design specialist Jeff was able to conduct a much needed evaluation to deliver the owner with the most efficient solution. After this analysis was completed our foreman Ash began installing our fortifying PolyLevel Foam Injections beneath the slabs to ultimately lift and restore them to their original surface height, as well as a full application of our specially formulated NexusPro Joint Sealant to safeguard the walkway from erosion. Finally this owner can rest well knowing their patio is entirely reinforced and prepared to withstand future signs of settlement.
Quality 1st Basement Systems drilled small, penny size holes into the sinking concrete slab. PolyLevel is injected under each sinking slab to raise it back to its original position. PolyLevel will permanently stabilize the concrete slab and prevent any further sinking or settling.
A sinking concrete slab in front of this Manchester Township home has settled creating a trip hazard. The homeowner wanted to raise the slab back to level to remove the trip hazard instead of having the entire front walk replaced.
Our team was able to raise the slab and easily remove the trip hazard. Within just 15 minutes the homeowner was able to use the walkway. The installation caused no disruption to the surrounding area.
A home in Scotch Plains, NJ had sinking steps outside of the home that were a dangerous trip hazard. Quality 1st Basement Systems injected PolyLEVEL, which lifts up concrete with a heavy-duty foam. PolyLEVEL is injected in just a few holes with no mess, and dries in 30 minutes!
