The concrete pad that this hot tub was resting on had settled unevenly into the soil. A hot tub resting on a concrete slab can get tricky, as the plumbing can sometimes leak or water can get splashed outside the tub. When high amounts of water saturate the soil underneath a slab, it can accelerate the concrete settling process by making the soil muddy and weak. We fixed this little problem by raising the concrete with our foam jacking methods. By drilling calculated pea-sized holes in the slab, we can then inject the PolyLevel foam underneath the slab, and raise it.
This front porch and connected walkway had become separated from the soil shifting from under them. We were able to life the sidewalk with PolyLevel foam and seal them back together.
This home's sidewalk had sank into the ground. This led to the driveway and sidewalk becoming disconnected. We raised the sidewalk with PolyLevel foam, and sealed the sidewalk and driveway back together. Not only does it look better, it is a whole late safer for any sidewalk goer.
The gap seen in the before picture between the 1st and 2nd step was an issue for this homeowner, and they wanted it fixed. You see, a gap like this usually means that there is some settling occurring under your concrete slabs. If the settling is too extreme and reaches a certain threshold, your slabs could crack from imbalanced support. The gap seen in the pictures can also invite rain water under your slabs, further accelerating the settling process.
We fixed all these problems by:
1. Leveling the slabs by raising parts with PolyLevel foam injections.
2. Sealing the gaps and cracks with our concrete sealant.
