Photo Album: Stabilizing Concrete Porch in Seminole, Florida

The concrete walkway and front porch of Edward’s home in Seminole, Florida, had shown clear signs of damage, with sections of the slabs settling into the ground. Consequently, a substantial crack had formed, posing a significant tripping hazard. Following a thorough inspection, LRE's specialist found that the soil underneath the walkway and porch had become unstable, resulting in the concrete settling and cracking. To remedy this issue, the LRE team implemented the Two-Part Concrete Protection System. This solution includes the application of PolyLevel to lift and level the sunken slabs and NexusPro to seal the crack and prevent water from seeping underneath the concrete. Upon completion, Edward experienced relief as his porch and walkway were stabilized, and the tripping hazard was successfully eliminated.
