Ben, from Palm Harbor, Florida, asked LRE Foundation Repair for assistance with fixing up his sinking concrete patio. The slabs had settled into the ground by an entire inch and posed a significant tripping hazard for him and his family. After a comprehensive inspection was conducted by an LRE Design Specialist, it was concluded that a substantial amount of soil erosion had occurred beneath the patio, resulting in the sinking and cracking of the concrete. To level the concrete and also provide permanent stabilization, the LRE team utilized the Two-Part Concrete Protection System. First, PolyLevel was injected underneath the concrete to lift and level the slabs and remove the trip hazards. Next, the team sealed the cracks with NexusPro to safeguard against water intrusion beneath the patio. Upon completion, Ben was relieved to see the trip hazards removed, with the concrete patio now leveled and permanently stabilized.
Concrete Patio Trip Hazard
Due to soil erosion, the homeowner's concrete patio had sunk into the ground, posing a significant tripping hazard.
Concrete Patio Cracks
Cracks have emerged throughout the patio due to the settling of the concrete. If left unaddressed, these cracks may widen further, allowing water to seep beneath the slabs.
PolyLevel Injections
In the first step of the Two-Part Concrete Protection System, the LRE team injects PolyLevel underneath the concrete to lift the sunken slabs to an even level and provide permanent stabilization.
NexusPro Application
The LRE team applies NexusPro to the cracks in the concrete as the second step of the Two-Part Concrete Protection System. This solution works to safeguard against water intrusion underneath the patio and prevent future soil settlement from occurring.
Concrete Trip Hazard Removed
