Concrete Leveling Photo Album: Plymouth, MI Patio Leveled to Prevent Water Flow into Basement
A Plymouth, MI resident was plagued with water leaking into their basement because the concrete patio above was sloping and sinking. As the concrete slab leaned further towards the home, it led to water sitting against the foundation. The homeowner wanted to fix the water leaking into the basement and have a level patio to walk on. They contacted HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free inspection and estimate.
Elon, one of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, went out to inspect the concrete in question. He took detailed measurements and notes before speaking with the homeowner about his ideas to fix the patio. Elon proposed lifting the concrete to an even level so the water would no longer flow down to the basement. The lifting would be accomplished using PolyLevel® Injection Foam. Afterward, the crew would seal the joints and any cracks using NexusPro sealant. The homeowner agreed with this repair plan because it met both of their goals. A crew led by Domonique was later scheduled and the homeowner was happy with their completed work.
Plymouth, MI Patio Leveled with PolyLevel® Injection Foam
The first step in concrete leveling when using PolyLevel® Injection Foam is to drill through the slab to the space below. This space is what caused the concrete to sink in the first place!
A skilled foreman pays close attention to make sure not too much or too little of the PolyLevel® Injection Foam is applied. They measure the slab to ensure it is level and make adjustments accordingly if it is not completely level.

Once the concrete slabs of this patio were all leveled, the crew then applied NexusPro sealant to all of the cracks and joints. This sealant would prevent weather elements from wearing down the patio while also sealing along the foundation to prevent water from leaking into the basement.
