Concrete Lifting and Leveling Photo Album: Sunken Sidewalk Solution In Bronx, NY

Sinking concrete around a Bronx, NY entryway had begun to raise safety concerns and detract from the home’s visual appeal, leading the homeowner to contact Quality 1st for a reliable fix. After a careful inspection, our concrete specialists recommended PolyLevel Foam Injections, a fast and effective method for lifting and stabilizing sunken slabs. Small injection ports were drilled into the affected areas, allowing our team to inject the high-density polyurethane foam beneath the surface. As the foam expanded, it gently lifted the concrete back to a level position, eliminating tripping hazards and restoring a clean, even look. The result was a safer, more attractive entryway and a homeowner who can now enjoy long-term peace of mind!

Before Repairs

To ensure the most effective and long-lasting concrete repair solution, our System Design Specialist performed a comprehensive inspection of the entire sidewalk. This involved closely examining each slab for signs of settlement, cracking, and joint separation, as well as identifying potential causes such as soil erosion, poor drainage, or voids beneath the concrete.

Concrete Settlement

Soil erosion, poor compaction, and water washout beneath the slabs were the main causes of this homeowner's concrete sidewalk settlement, leading to sinking, uneven surfaces, and potential tripping hazards.

Lifting With PolyLevel

We lifted the sunken sidewalk by drilling small penny-sized holes into the concrete and injecting our expanding PolyLevel Foam beneath the slabs, which gently raised and leveled the surface back to its original position.

NexusPro Joint Sealant

The crew also applied NexusPro Joint Sealant to fill and protect the sidewalk joints, preventing water infiltration and debris buildup that can cause further damage and deterioration.
