Concrete Lifting and Leveling Before & After Photos

Now, before we took the "before" picture for this photo set, we had already leveled out the concrete slabs that comprised of this back patio and adjacent sidewalk. We also had already sealed the joints and cracks in the concrete with our NexusPro caulk. However, the lifting and caulking process of our concrete repair proccess is not what we wanted to highlight for this specific project. Instead, we wanted to highlight our SealantPro penetrating concrete sealer, which is nothing like your everyday concrete sealant. Instead of a topical treatment, our SealantPro chemically bonds to the concrete on a molecular level, creating an internal shield that repels moistures, chemicals, and salt without changing the look of the concrete or making it slippery. It also first appears bright green, which helps our crew ensure they sprayed every square inch of the concrete surface. Later, the color will turn completely translucent. This SealantPro treatment will ensure this concrete stays safe from flaking, pitting, and discoloration for many years to come.

This sunken stoop in Milford, OH, needed to be raised for several reasons. First, the high step posed a potential tripping hazard. Additionally, the uneven stoop and sidewalk created an unsightly appearance. Raising the sidewalk also meant less dirt accumulation, reducing the need for frequent sweeping. Using our PolyLevel foam, we lifted and leveled both the stoop and the connecting sidewalk, then sealed the joints and gaps for a seamless finish.

This stoop had settled about nine inches into the ground at its lowest part. We raised and leveled the stoop and connecting sidewalk to make for a seamless stroll. You can see how far we raised the stoop by looking at the highlighted area in the before picture, and comparing that gap to the same area in the after photo. Thanks to our quick curing PolyLevel foam, the homeowners were able to use their sidewalk again almost immediately after we left. Not too shabby for a job completed in less than an hour or two. 

This homeowner called us regarding a porch that was sinking.  We used PolyLevel injections to resolve the problems for the homeowner. PolyLevel Foam is able to raise concrete slabs on sidewalks, driveways, and porches.  Small holes are drilled into the concrete, and then the PolyLevel foam is injected under the concrete to be raised. The PolyLevel Foam fills the voids underneath the concrete slab and raises it up. The hole that was drilled into the concrete was patched, and the porch will be ready to walk on again in about 15 minutes. Note how the gap is closed between the siding on the home and then concrete slab. 

This sunken and uneven concrete slab had become a nuisance to the homeowners. Located right outside of their back door, this was where their kids, dogs, and friends frequented. You see, because the slab had sunked so far, dirt, leaves, and other debris easily gathered on top of the stoop. If the homeowner did not sweep the slab everyday, their kids would be sure to track all of that debris into their home. We made sure that this slab would no longer be a magnet for leaves by raising it 3-4 inches with our foam jacking methods. Now, the homeowners don't have to worry about sweeping every day.
