Concrete Lifting and Leveling Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Nutley, New Jersey noticed their driveway was unlevel and sinking. Soil erosion under the concrete driveway occurs when water runs down through cracks where caulking is old, cracked, or missing. The water washes the soil out as it passes through. These voids cause the concrete to shift and settle, creating cracked and uneven surfaces.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, JC Gibriano, helped them find a solution to this issue. He recommended PolyLevel to lift the slab towards its original position. For the joints in between the slabs, JC suggested our NexusPro sealant. Our foreman installed the NexusPro Joint Sealant, which is more pliable than urethane based products, so the natural expansion and contraction of concrete during weather changes doesn't break the bond. NexusPro is a quick application and is long lasting. 

We recently were able to assist a homeowner located in Nutley, NJ, after they reached out with concerns of structural deterioration and indications of settlement near their homes main entrance walkway. The owner was fed up with worrying about potentially fatal walking conditions for visitors and residents and knew a reliable solution was necessary.

After meeting with our system design specialist Joseph, the owner was given an essential and outlined solution specifically catered to their exact needs. Following this interaction, our foreman Ash and his crew began installing our stabilizing PolyLevel Foam Injections, beneath the sunken concrete to essentially restore the slabs to their designated surface height. The crew also carried out a full application of our ultraviolet NexusPro Joint Sealant, to the cracks and crevices to fully protect the surface from erosion.

From this day forward, this walkway is completely reinforced and safeguarded against future settlement obstacles! 

Our team uses polyurethane foam known as PolyLevel to lift and level concrete slabs such as driveways, sidewalks, pool decks, garage floors and interior floors of a home. When soil becomes too wet, too dry or is poorly compacted underneath the home, it becomes weak and can no longer support the weight of a heavy concrete slab. This is what causes the slab to sink and settle causing a trip hazard or large gap in the floor. The concrete slab now needs additional support to prevent further settlement. PolyLevel is a State-Of-The-Art technology used to fill any voids underneath the concrete, raising it back towards its original level. 

This homeowner came across our Facebook ad for concrete lifting and leveling and knew right away this was the exact solution they were looking for. Their sun room in the back of their home which was an addition to their home, started to sink and settle. A gap formed inbetween where the molding and the floor meet. 

Our Concrete Repair Specialist measured roughly 2 1/2 inches of settlement during his inspection of the floor. He suggested PolyLevel, for it was a clean and easy installation that would cause no disruption to the surrounding area and provided them with a permanent solution. 

Our PolyLevel Foreman, Ash and his team arrived on time, made sure the entire area was cleared of items and belongings, and began prepping the floor for the installation. He drilled small, penny-size holes in the small sections of the floor. Using a special tool, PolyLevel foam was injected underneath the slab, raising it back to level. 

The owner of the property located in Hazlet, NJ contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems when he noticed some of the sidewalks on the property had settled. Upon inspection, System Design Specialist, Andrew Gagliardi, measured up to 2 inches of settlement from the sidewalk to the curb. Quality 1st Foreman, Arturo and his crew were able to lift and level each sidewalk permanently stabilizing each slab to prevent further settlement or any tripping hazards from forming.
