Concrete Lifting and Leveling Before & After Photos

Quality 1st Basement Systems lifted the sunken concrete next to the stairs at this Martinsville, NJ property. PolyLevel is a strong, but lightweight expandable foam that lifts up heavy concrete. PolyLevel will not wash away with heavy rains, it is waterproof and long-lasting.

A homeowner in Oak Ridge, New Jersey noticed their concrete walkway was beginning to sink and settle. Soil becomes either too wet or too dry underneath the slab causing the concrete to shift and settle, creating uneven surfaces and dangerous tripping hazards.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Jeff Pitek, was able to help them find a solution. He suggested a polyurethane foam be injected into the voids to lift the concrete. Our foreman, Victor Leon, installed the PolyLevel System. This is done by drilling tiny holes into the concrete slab and injecting the PolyLevel foam underneath. The expanding properties of the polyurethane allow for an accurate lift and leveling of the slab. Now, the homeowner does not have to worry about dangerous tripping hazards while walking into their home.

This front porch in Franklin, NJ was experiencing major concrete settlement. The homeowners chose Quality 1st Basements to help them come up with a solution for their sinking concrete. System Design Specialist, Jeff P. suggested our PolyLevel solution, a process in which our team injects foam beneath the sunken slab and raises it back to its original position. The homeowners were pleased that they could use their front porch within 15 minutes after installation and had peace of mind knowing their front porch would be supported for years to come. 

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.
