Transforming A Sunken Concrete Patio In Sewell, NJ
Challenge
Cracks and shifting slabs had begun to take a serious toll on a Sewell, NJ homeowner's backyard patio, turning what was once a relaxing outdoor retreat into a potential hazard. With family and guests frequently using the space, the homeowner became increasingly alarmed by the uneven surfaces and the growing risk of trips and falls. Recognizing that temporary fixes wouldn’t address the root of the issue, they contacted Quality 1st in search of a dependable, long-term solution that would restore both safety and aesthetics.
Solution
Following a thorough assessment, our specialists discovered that unstable soil and water infiltration had caused the patio’s concrete slabs to settle unevenly. These conditions had compromised the structural integrity of the patio, so our team proposed a tailored plan centered around PolyLevel Foam Injection. This cutting-edge method involves injecting a high-density polyurethane foam beneath the affected slabs, which expands to fill voids, stabilize the soil, and gently lift the concrete back into place. The non-invasive process allowed us to complete the leveling efficiently, without major disruption to the surrounding area. To further protect the repaired patio, we applied NexusPro Joint Sealant, a flexible, UV-resistant sealant designed to block moisture from seeping into the joints and causing future erosion. By sealing the gaps, we added a crucial layer of defense against the elements, helping to extend the lifespan of the repair. With the surface now smooth, level, and sealed, the homeowner regained full use of their patio and enjoyed the peace of mind that comes with a solution built to last.
