Concrete Lifting & Leveling Before & After Photos

The before photo shows concrete that has settled into the void. The after photo shows how we repaired and stabilized the sidewalk with PolyLevel. 

Before photo shows a concrete slab that has settled into a void causing a tripping hazard and is very unappealing. After photo shows the concrete slab after it was injected with PolyLevel(R) to be raised and stabilized. The slab had its old sealant removed to our Nexus pro sealant installed. Sealant pro will protect the longevity of the concrete as well as keep our and liquids from going into the cracks. 

In Costa Mesa, California, Saber Foundations was contracted to fix an issue of sever concrete settlement.  The settlement was most likely caused by the combined weight of the concrete and what is supporting it.  The soil beneath the concrete compresses and can cause major problems.  Like the ones shown in this before photo,  the concrete had settled and the walls had begun to show the signs of the settlement by gapping.  Saber was able to quickly and affordably fix the issue for this homeowner, by using the PolyLEVEL™ process.  The PolyLEVEL™ process is a two part foam used to inject into the ground to form a fill that is strong yet light weight.  This process was completed and the end result was that of closing the gaps that the concrete sinking had caused.  The great thing about PolyLEVEL™ is it waterproof, it does not react with soil or water, and does not leak hazardous chemicals into the soil.  It also cures very quickly, so the process is messy and disruptive, in comparison to other foundation-lifting techniques.

The Before Picture shows cracks on the outer walls of the home and the concrete walkway.

The After Picture is the walkway being demolished. Saber then hauled all of this broken concrete away, so we could start lifting this sinkling Foundation.

Saber was contracted to repair a home in Norwalk, California.  The homeowner was concerned with issue of settlement that had occurred at the property.  The signs of settlement had begun to show in the interior and exterior of the home.  The interior walls had cracks around door frames and window frames, and the exterior had cracks at the corners of the property.  The homeowner contacted Saber to fix the issue.  Saber’s crew used the PolyLevel™ method to fix the issue, the PolyLevel™ material is injected below the existing slab into the soil for greater bearing capacity and soil stabilization.  The PolyLevel™ system is a state of the art approach to repairing sinking concrete, this method utilizes high-density polymers to raise slabs back to a desired level.  This is done by drilling small holes in the slab and then specially designed equipment is used to inject the poly into the void.  After the void is filled, the expansion of the polyurethane allows for a precise lift and stabilization of the slab. In these photos you will see the exterior wall crack before the injection and stabilization of the PolyLevel™ and the after effect of the process.  The cracks have closed and the foundation is now stabilized.
