StrongHold® PolyFoam Concrete Leveling for Brent W., Pensacola, FL
Service Overview
At MDH Foundation Repair, we specialize in creating safe, stable, and long-lasting solutions for sinking concrete. Recently, Brent W. of Pensacola, FL, reached out to us to address uneven areas in his sidewalk and driveway. These sinking slabs posed tripping hazards and risked further structural damage. By employing our StrongHold® PolyFoam Concrete Leveling service and a premium crack sealant, we restored stability and functionality to Brent’s property while preventing future damage.
The project required precision and a multi-step approach to ensure a durable and aesthetically pleasing repair.
Our team stabilized the concrete and lifted it where necessary, sealed the expansion joints, and delivered a long-lasting solution tailored to Brent’s specific needs.
PROJECT PROCESS
- Polyurethane Foam Injection: We injected StrongHold® closed-cell polyurethane foam beneath the affected areas of the sidewalk and driveway. This foam expanded to fill the voids, stabilize the concrete, and provide essential support.
- Monitoring for Controlled Lift: Achieving a smooth and even lift without additional damage was critical. Our team carefully monitored the lifting process to prevent cracking or unnecessary stress on the slabs.
- Drilling and Injection: Small, 1/2″ holes were drilled into the concrete to inject the foam with precision. Once the foam injection was complete, we filled the holes with cement to restore the surface’s appearance and integrity.
- Concrete Expansion Joint Sealant: To prevent moisture intrusion and protect the repaired areas, we cleaned and sealed the expansion joints with a high-quality self-leveling urethane sealant. This step was crucial for ensuring the longevity of the repair and preventing future sinking.
METRICS FOR SUCCESS
- The effective stabilization and lift of the sinking sidewalk and driveway slabs.
- Ensuring no new cracks or damage occurred during the process.
- Properly sealing the expansion joints to prevent moisture-related issues.
- Restoring the safe and functional use of the property to Brent’s satisfaction.
MAINTENANCE AND FOLLOW-UP
They were easy to deal with and did the work with no disruption to our household. I would definitely hire them again (but hope I don’t have to!).
