Concrete Lifting and Leveling Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Fair Lawn, New Jersey noticed their pool patio was sinking and settling badly. This can happen because concrete is poured over poorly compacted loose soil. Overtime, this soil settles and creates a void under the concrete. Unlevel concrete is a dangerous tripping hazard, especially around a pool.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Jack Huber, provided an inspection and recommended a polyurethane foam. Our foreman, Luis Aguirre, used the PolyLevel Injection System under the concrete. This is done by drilling small holes into the slab and then injecting the foam into the voids underneath. The polyurethane foam has expanding properties that allow for an accurate lifting and leveling of the concrete patio. Check out the before an after!

Quality 1st Basement Systems was contacted by a homeowner in Fair Lawn, NJ. They noticed their pool deck area, near the low end of their pool, was sinking a few inches and needed to be raised. Our crew used the Polylevel Injection to lift and level the concrete. Our team injected Polyurethane foam underneath each area of the concrete and raised it back towards its original level. 

We helped this Fair Lawn, New Jersey homeowner save money by repairing their existing concrete patio instead of replacing it. We sent our Concrete Repair Specialist out to do a thorough inspection of the area. The patio area was a good size but was experiencing settlement which caused cracking in some areas. We used our waterproof and environmentally friendly concrete repair solution, PolyLevel Injections,

to raise and stabilize this patio area. Our team drilled small dime-size holes into the concrete and injected PolyLevel underneath the slab to remove the voids underneath. Once leveled, we filled in each crack to prevent future erosion as well. 

The sidewalks in front of this Fair Lawn residence were uneven due to settlement under the concrete. Quality 1st Basement Systems isntalled the PolyLEVEL concrete leveling system to repair the sunken concrete. PolyLEVEL is a two part poly-urethane foam which is injected underneath the concrete to raise it back to its original level. PolyLEVEL is very lightweight which means it will not cause further settlement. PolyLEVEL is the cheaper, faster, more modern alternative to mudjacking. The sidewalk slabs have been repaired, and there are no longer any tripping hazards for this family!

 Jeff, our Concrete Repair Specialists, provided the homeowner with an estimate to lift, level & seal the area. Iian, our PolyLevel Foreman and his team were able to raise the slabs back to level. First the crew did a full walk through to make sure nothing was in the surrounding area that could delay or effect the installation. Once the area was clear, the crew began installing the polyurethane foam. Small holes were drilling into each sinking slab. PolyLevel is injected beneath the slab to fill the small void below. PolyLevel expands underneath, raising the heavy slab. When the slab is raised and no additional foam is needed, it begins to harden for permanent stabilization.
