StrongHold® PolyFoam Concrete Leveling for Sidewalk and Driveway in Pensacola, FL
Project Overview: Uneven Sidewalk and Driveway Lifted and Stabilized
Brent W. of Pensacola, FL, contacted MDH Foundation Repair after noticing sinking and uneven sections of his sidewalk and driveway. These areas posed a tripping hazard and detracted from the home’s curb appeal.
Our team proposed StrongHold® PolyFoam Concrete Leveling and joint sealing to restore a safe, stable, and even surface.
Problem: Sinking Concrete Slabs Created Trip Hazards and Drainage Issues
Over time, voids beneath the concrete had caused sections of the sidewalk and driveway to settle unevenly. In addition to creating safety concerns, the uneven slabs affected proper water drainage and could have worsened without intervention.
Brent wanted a fast, durable fix that would restore the appearance and functionality of his concrete surfaces without full replacement.
Solution: StrongHold® PolyFoam Injection and Expansion Joint Sealant
Polyurethane Foam Injection
MDH technicians drilled ½-inch holes through the affected slabs and injected StrongHold® closed-cell polyurethane foam beneath the sidewalk and driveway.
The foam expanded beneath the surface to fill voids, stabilize the soil, and lift the concrete back to a level position.
Controlled Lifting Process
The foam injection was closely monitored to ensure a smooth and even lift.
This careful control minimized stress on the slabs and prevented additional cracks or damage during the repair.
Joint Sealing for Long-Term Protection
After lifting was complete, MDH cleaned out the existing expansion joints and applied a self-leveling urethane sealant.
This sealant helps prevent future water intrusion, which is a leading cause of concrete settling in Florida’s wet climate.
Final Cleanup and Cosmetic Restoration
The small injection ports were patched with color-matched cement to restore the visual integrity of the sidewalk and driveway.
Results: Stable, Even, and Safe Concrete Surface
- Concrete slabs were successfully lifted and leveled
- Expansion joints sealed to block water penetration
- Trip hazards eliminated, improving safety and curb appeal
- Homeowner was satisfied with the fast, clean, and professional process
"We live in a 110-year-old Craftsman bungalow with a pier footing foundation. Due to her age and location on the lot, she needed a little reinforcement. I contacted two foundation repair companies, and MDH had the best plan and price. Kyle immediately quoted the job, and Kim followed up to schedule and confirm the appointment. Chris and the crew arrived on time, worked professionally, and delivered high-quality results. Shannon followed up after the job to ensure our satisfaction. I wish all contractors had this level of service! I highly recommend MDH Foundation Repair. They are EXCELLENT! Hopefully, I won't need them again for another 100 years!"
