Concrete Settlement
Concrete settlement is typically caused by unstable soil conditions beneath the slab, such as soil erosion, poor compaction, or moisture fluctuations. These factors create voids or shifting ground that cause the concrete to sink, crack, or become uneven over time.
Lifting With PolyLevel
The crew lifted the homeowner's sunken backyard patio by drilling small, precise holes into the concrete and injecting PolyLevel expanding foam beneath the slabs. As the foam expanded, it filled voids and stabilized the soil, gently raising and leveling the patio to restore a smooth, even surface, without the need for costly demolition or replacement.
Installing TrenchDrain
We installed the TrenchDrain System outside the homeowner's back door by excavating a narrow trench along the patio edge, placing the drainage channel securely, and connecting it to the existing drainage system.
TrenchDrain System
TrenchDrain prevents water from pooling near entryways, reducing the risk of basement flooding and foundation damage. It improves surface drainage, enhances safety by eliminating slippery areas, and protects the home from costly water-related issues.
The Benefits Of PolyLevel
PolyLevel offers fast, durable concrete lifting by stabilizing soil and filling voids beneath slabs. It's lightweight, cures quickly, and won't shrink or wash away, providing a long-lasting, cost-effective solution that restores level surfaces and prevents future settling.
Lifted And Protected
With the installation of our PolyLevel and TrenchDrain Systems, this homeowner's backyard patio has been expertly restored to a level, stable condition and is now effectively protected against future settling and water damage!
