A homeowner in Staten Island, NY noticed their front concrete sidewalk was sinking creating a trip hazard in front of their home. They contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution and so we sent Concrete Repair Specialist, Nelson, out to inspect the area. Upon inspection, he could tell the soil underneath could not support the weight of the heavy sidewalk. He recommended our concrete raising system known as, PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a environmentally friendly, waterproof polyurethane foam that fills the voids between the soil and concrete slab. It expands underneath removing the void, and raising the slab back towards its original position.
Sunken and uneven patio slabs began to create both safety concerns and aesthetic issues for a homeowner in Staten Island, NY. The underlying issue was ongoing concrete settlement, likely caused by shifting soil or water erosion beneath the slab. As the problem worsened, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st in search of a permanent solution. Our team conducted a full inspection of the affected area to determine the extent of the damage and identified the ideal remedy: our patented PolyLevel Foam Injection system.
Using this advanced method, our crew carefully drilled small holes into the sunken slabs and injected high-density polyurethane foam underneath. The foam expanded to fill voids in the soil, gently lifting the concrete back to a safe and even position. The process was quick, non-invasive, and far more efficient than traditional methods like mudjacking or full replacement.
Once the repair was complete, the patio surface was level and stable, giving the homeowner a restored outdoor space and peace of mind that the problem was resolved for the long term!
