Using PolyLEVEL, an expansive polyurethane foam we lift and level sunken concrete slabs. The foam expands beneath the surface of the concrete lifting the sunken concrete slab. The foam cures over the course of a day leaving a powerful and lightweight foundation beneath the slab. PolyLEVEL is the preferred method over traditional forma of mudjacking or slab jacking.
This home in Winchester, OH, had a settling foundation near their walkout basement door. The foundation had settled so much that the door was almost impossible to open and close, and the settling had also caused cracks to form in their basement. We stabilized the home by underpinning the foundation with 15 helical piers. Our helical piers were installed by first excavating around the outside of the foundation to expose the footing of the sinking home. We then drilled our piers underneath the footers down into stable soil that won't ever move. Our helical piers are shaped like a screw, which allows them to reach deep depths without displacing the soil. We were able to tell how deep the piers went by using pressure gauges. After drilling them down, we then attached our brackets to connect the piers to the footing of the home. This process transfers the weight of the home down into load-bearing strata, which is found deep into the earth. After attaching the brackets, we then attempted to lift the home back up using hydraulics. This process helped close the gaps and cracks in the foundation. To finish the job, we backfilled all the trenches with soil and patched the walk out patio with a fresh layer of concrete. We also took points around the foundation to ensure that the foundation won't ever move again. The homeowners were very impressed with the process, and they were very happy they chose the right foundation repair company for the job.
