Challenge

The Challenge
A homeowner in Auburn, CA, faced a frustrating issue with their outdoor living space. The concrete patio surrounding their pool was sinking and cracking, creating an uneven and unsafe surface. This not only affected the aesthetic appeal of their backyard oasis but also raised concerns about potential safety hazards and further structural damage. Seeking a reliable and permanent solution, the homeowner turned to Foundation Repair of CA for an expert assessment.

Diagnosis
After a thorough inspection, Foundation Repair of CA determined that the primary cause of the patio’s sinking and cracking was soil settlement beneath the concrete. Over time, the underlying soil had shifted, creating voids that caused sections of the patio to sink unevenly. Without proper intervention, the movement would continue, leading to worsening cracks and increased instability.

Solution

The Solution
Foundation Repair of CA proposed a two-part solution using PolyLevel and NexusPro to address the sinking and cracking effectively.

PolyLevel Injection

How it Works: PolyLevel is a high-density polyurethane foam injected beneath the concrete slabs to fill voids and lift the sunken areas back to their original position.
Execution: Small, discreet holes were drilled into the affected sections of the patio, and the expanding foam was injected to stabilize and level the surface. This minimally invasive process provided precise results while ensuring long-term durability.

NexusPro Joint Sealant

How it Works: NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant designed to repair and protect cracked concrete joints from water infiltration and further damage.
Execution: The existing cracks were thoroughly cleaned, and NexusPro was applied to seal and reinforce the damaged areas. This flexible sealant adapts to slight movements in the concrete, providing a lasting repair.

The Results
The combination of PolyLevel and NexusPro restored the patio to a safe, level, and visually appealing state. The homeowner was thrilled with the results, noting that the repairs were completed efficiently with minimal disruption to their property. The pool area is now a welcoming and secure space for family gatherings and relaxation, with the peace of mind that the solution is built to last.
