PolyLevel Injection Foam was used to lift and stabilize this customer's front stoop after it was found to be sinking and settling as evidenced by the separation near the foundation. Concrete Specialist Jeff Pitek met with the customers to assess the issue and Sean Johnson and his crew worked to inject the PolyLevel and lift the stoop back up.
A resident in Somerset, New Jersey noticed their concrete walkway was sinking. This can happen because concrete is poured over recently backfilled soil around the home. Overtime, this loose soil settles and creates a void under the concrete. They called Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Dylan McDonald, was able to help them with a solution. He suggested a polymer foam to lift the concrete back to its original position. Our foreman, Victor Leon, installed the PolyLevel System which is a polyurethane foam that is injected underneath the slab. This is done by drilling small, penny-sized holes into the slab and the polymer foam is injected into the voids. This foam has expanding properties that will allow the slab to be lifted and leveled.
