Sinking Concrete Porch and Walkway Repaired in Fenton, MI

Challenge

We've all tripped over an uneven concrete sidewalk at least once in our lives. It's annoying, dangerous, and an eyesore. That's why this homeowner contacted the experts here at HomeSpec. Their walkway slabs were uneven and their porch was sinking - constantly moving away from the home. This happens because the soil underneath is either shrinking, settling, or washing away. 

Solution

But now homeowners have a quick and easy way to get rid of their concrete problems - a solution that doesn't include mudjacking. It's called PolyLevel. At this home in Fenton, Michigan a small holed was drilled into the concrete and an expanding polyurethane foam was injected underneath each slab. As it expanded, the slab was lifted. Then the joints were sealed to prevent soil from washing away.
