Before & After Photos

In Wilmore, KY, this homeowner’s front porch had started to settle, creating an uneven gap where the concrete slab met the brick wall. To restore both the look and safety of the entryway, we lifted the porch using PolyLevel®, our quick and precise concrete lifting system. Once the slab was level, we sealed the joint between the brick wall and concrete with NexusPro®, a durable, flexible sealant that protects against water intrusion and further settling. Be sure to scroll through the photos to see how we brought this front porch back to life!

This slab foundation home in Stamping Ground, KY, was sinking into problematic soil causing the slab to sink by about 3/4 of an inch. Because the slab was light enough, we were able to raise it with our PolyLevel expansive foam jacking method. As you can see in the after picture, our foam was able to completely fill the void, and even lifted it back up a bit.

Do you also have a monstrous gap between your sidewalk and front porch slabs? This occurs when your sidewalk sinks from soil shrinkage. Then, when there is a gap that forms, rain can then enter that gap and wash away all the soil from under the front porch. We stopped this process from occurring again by raising the slabs by injecting our industrial grade PolyLevel foam, which is a very clean process compared to mudjacking.

We first leveled out some of the slightly sunken slabs in this driveway with our PolyLevel foam jacking method in Dry Ridge, KY. After we stabilized the slabs, we then sealed all the joints with our NexusPro joint sealant. Our NexusPro sealant is UV resistant and will keep water and debris out of the control joints, all while still allowing natural expansion and contraction in the concrete. We then topped off the project by spraying our SealantPro chemical all across the surface of the driveway, "SealantPro dramatically extends concrete's lifespan by defending it from damage caused by water and chemical absorption, which can result in pitting, flaking and staining. Unlike other sealants that degrade over time, SealantPro penetrates the slab and chemically bonds with the concrete itself, while a temporary colorant indicates which surfaces have been treated. In just one professional application, SealantPro forms a clear, strong and permanent barrier that prevents water and other substances from penetrating the concrete." The result of this project is a dramatic increase in the expected lifespan of the homes outside concrete and a major boost in curb appeal.

This concrete sidewalk in Dry Ridge, KY, settled over time, causing an awkwardly large step needed to access the front porch. We lifted and leveled out the concrete by injecting the sidewalk with PolyLevel foam. This process was able to shrink the large gap between the porch and the adjacent step, allowing the homeowners to safely walk in and out of the home.
