Photo Album: Trip Hazard Eliminated in Longwood, FL
Lewis B. of Longwood, Florida was growing concerned as his concrete sidewalk was sinking. The sunken slab left a two-inch trip hazard the homeowner was worried would injure himself or a passerby. He called LRE Foundation Repair for the solution. Our team of experts assessed the damaged sidewalk and determined poor soil conditions were to blame. LRE recommended a solution using PolyLevel to lift and re-level this concrete slab. PolyLevel, an expanding polyurethane foam material, was injected beneath the sidewalk. The material expanded to lift the concrete back into place and stabilize the loose soils below. All cracks were sealed and the sidewalk was protected for years to come, leaving this homeowner very happy.
Sinking Concrete Slab
This sidewalk had sunken almost two inches, causing a trip hazard for the homeowner and guests.
Concrete Raised
PolyLevel was injected directly into the concrete slab, allowing it to lift as the material expanded beneath the surface.
Concrete Re-leveled
PolyLevel is used to fill the voids beneath the concrete's surface, but also to compact loose soils and re-level the concrete slab.
Cracks Sealed on Sidewalk
LRE used NexusPro, a silicone-based sealer to fill, fix and protect this sidewalk for years to come.
