Specialized equipment will be used to inject the polymer foam under the slab to lift and stabilize it. Then, NexusPro sealant will be used to fill the cracks that have been created from the concrete sinking.
Notice the difference in these before and after photos? A serious tripping hazard was fixed when Frontier Foundation & crawl Space Repair went in with PolyLevel injections and NexusPro sealant.
This Gallatin home had a problem with their concrete slab porch steps attached to their porch sinking. Concrete slabs can sink and settle for a few reasons, such as erosion, flooding, or the soil not being properly prepared before the slab was made on it. Either way, the family was worried about someone tripping, as well as the value of the home decreasing. They called us up and scheduled their free inspection. One of our trained inspectors came out and looked over their property. He knew exactly what they needed,
He told them all about our concrete repair products and they agreed that the products were perfect.
Products Installed:
PolyLevel: an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface
NexusPro Joint Sealant: a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially engineered to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions.
The steps are now where they should be and we have a happy homeowner.

This Tennessee home had an unpleasant looking sidewalk that had shifted and became uneven. This created not only an eyesore and cracks but also a tripping hazard. The homeowners knew they needed to find a permanently fix before anything got worse and the value of the home decreased.
They called us and we knew exactly what to do!
We started by leveling the concrete with PolyLevel by injecting the foam below the concrete. PolyLevel's lightweight makes it useful where denser fill material might impose an undesirable load on weak soils. Despite its lightweight, PolyLevel can support substantial loads; it typically provides greater lifting power than mudjacking.
We then sealed the cracks where they were previously sealed, but the sealant used had warped and broken off in places allowing water to infiltrate. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry! NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially engineered to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions.
The homeowners now have a healthy crawl space, a level, and sealed sidewalk.. and most of all a peace of mind!
These homeowners in Lebanon Tennessee were having problems with their front porch and the concrete slab cracking, worried this could turn into a tripping hazard they contacted Frontier Basement Systems for a solution. Together with the homeowners it was decided that PolyLevel and sealing the concrete was the right solution for these homeowners. Beautiful results!
