Foundation Repair Photo Album: Void Fill in Rotonda West, FL
Bettina P. was growing concerned about water intrusion in the back bedrooms of her home in Rotonda West, Florida. She noticed cracks in her floors and walls and called LRE Foundation Repair to assess the damage before it could get any worse. LRE completed an inspection of the home and determined that poor land grading coupled with eroded soils and settlement had allowed water to infiltrate her home. LRE designed a solution to fix these issues by injecting PolyLevel inside the garage area and around the exterior of the home. PolyLevel is a polymer material that expands on contact with soils once its injected. In the garage, the material is injected through small drill holes, expanding to fill voids and level the concrete. Around the home, PolyLevel is injected through small tubes to further compact soils and fill larger gaps. Once the injection process was complete, LRE used its silicone-based sealer, NexusPro, to seal cracks and joints, further protecting the surface and underlying soil from the elements. After the job was finished, this homeowner was thrilled that her water intrusion problems were solved and her foundation was permanently stabilized.
