Photo Album: Void Fill and Slab Stabilization in Marco Island, FL

Gregg H. was concerned with growing cracks in the concrete slab of his back patio in Marco Island, Florida, and also noticed the slab pulling away from the house. There were large voids forming underneath it that he wanted addressed, so he called LRE Foundation Repair for a solution. After a thorough inspection, LRE determined the main cause of the damage was from severe erosion and washed out soil and rock, and designed a solution that would not only stabilize the moving slab but lift and level it back in place. LRE installed helical piers and support beams around the whole perimeter of the slab. The piers were drilled into the ground using small equipment and attached to the concrete slab, adding the needed stability. Next, PolyLevel, a two-part, expandable polyurethane foam was injected under the slab to fill the massive voids, adding to the support system. When the project was complete, the slab was lifted and made level and Gregg H. was very pleased all of his concerns were addressed and his back patio was stabilized. He doesn't need to worry about future settlement to his foundation any longer.
