Concrete Leveling Before & After Photos

A Saline, MI homeowner realized how much of their childhood home needed to be repaired before they could move as they had planned. There were issues with the foundation and front porch. The porch had a diagonal crack and one side had sunk a substantial amount. This posed a tripping hazard that the homeowner wanted to remedy for their own safety as well as the safety of any future buys. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.

Keith, one of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, went to the home and conducted a thorough inspection both inside and outside of the home. He took measurements and notes before returning to the homeowner to discuss a repair plan. He recommended solutions for the foundation as well as the porch. Keith explained that the crew would fix the porch with PolyLevel® Injection Foam to raise the sunken concrete until the halves were even again. Then, the team would use NexusPro sealant over the crack to secure and protect it. The homeowner agreed to these ideas and worked with HomeSpec to have the crew move forward with the plan. A foreman named Fred led a crew in the porch repair while other foremen, Jon, Mike, and Rick, led the repairs in the basement.

The porch on this Hartland home was sinking and pulling away from the foundation - and it was quite unsightly. So the homeowners contacted the professionals here at HomeSpec. 

Thankfully, our PolyLevel system quickly and permanently solves problems like this. The PolyLevel foam just had to be injected underneath the concrete, then it expanded and filled in the gaps caused by soil erosion and shrinkage. As it expanded, the porch was raised up back into its original position. 

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec because the walkway leading to their house was very uneven - causing tripping hazards. The porch was also cracked and sinking and needed to be repaired. 

Our team solved this issue permanently with our PolyLevel system. Through a dime-sized hole, we injected a polyurethane foam underneath the concrete. As it expanded, the slabs were lifted up back into place. The joints and cracks were then sealed with our strong silicone-based sealant. And the walkway was even once more! 

This homeowner in Westland, Michigan contacted HomeSpec to repair a driveway slab and some garage slabs that were cracked and sinking. 

Foreman Devin Parker used the PolyLevel method to repair the concrete. The high-density rigid foam is first injected below the slab through smalls holes. As it expands, the slab is lifted and leveled. This material is stable and strong, and environmentally safe. 

The homeowner was able to use his driveway and garage again that same day, and was happy to find a permanent solution for his concrete issues! 

This clear safety hazard of shifting, settling, and sinking concrete slabs would be leveled and sealed using a combination of PolyLevel to inject a powerful versatile polyurethane foam underneath to lift the slabs back into place, and NexusPro joint sealant to reliably seal in the gaps with UV resistant and weatherproof material.
