Expert Foundation Repair Company Serving Belmont, CA

Project Overview: A homeowner in Belmont, CA, reached out to Foundation Repair of CA with concerns about their sinking and cracking concrete patio. Over time, the uneven surface created both aesthetic and functional issues, prompting the need for a long-lasting repair solution. The homeowner wanted to stabilize the patio and address the cracks to ensure the space was safe and visually appealing.

Challenges:

• Sinking concrete: The patio was settling unevenly, creating low spots and potentially hazardous conditions.
• Cracking: Cracks had developed across the surface, affecting both the structural integrity and the appearance of the patio.
• Future stability: The homeowner needed assurance that any solution would prevent further sinking and cracking.

Solution Provided by Foundation Repair of CA: To restore the patio’s structural stability and address the cracks, Foundation Repair of CA employed a combination of PolyLevel foam injection, NexusPro joint sealant, NexusPro crack repair, and the Concrete Protection System. This comprehensive approach ensured a stable and durable fix for the homeowner's patio.

PolyLevel (Foam Injection):
PolyLevel was used to lift and level the sinking sections of the patio. Technicians drilled port holes in a grid pattern across the patio’s surface and injected a high-density polyurethane foam beneath the concrete. The foam expanded, filling voids and raising the slab back to its original level. The process was precise, quick, and minimally invasive, ensuring no further disruption to the backyard.

NexusPro (Joint Sealant):
To protect against further movement and damage, Foundation Repair of CA applied NexusPro joint sealant. Joints were thoroughly cleaned, and a backer rod was placed into the joint gaps where applicable. The silicone-based NexusPro was then injected, smoothed, and finished with sand to create a flexible and weather-resistant seal. This prevented water infiltration, which could lead to additional settling or erosion.

NexusPro (Crack Repair):
Cracks on the patio surface were addressed with NexusPro Crack Repair. Technicians ground out the cracks to remove debris and prepared the surface for the injection of the crack repair sealant. After injection, the sealant was smoothed and sanded, providing a clean finish and protecting the patio from further cracking or movement.

Concrete Protection System (2-Part):
As part of the final step, PolyLevel foam was again injected where necessary to fill any remaining voids beneath the concrete. The NexusPro joint and crack sealant were applied, further protecting the repaired patio. This two-part system ensured the patio would be stable and durable, helping to prevent future sinking or cracking.

Results: The homeowner's concrete patio was fully stabilized and restored. The PolyLevel foam injection successfully lifted the sinking sections, while NexusPro joint and crack sealants provided long-lasting protection against further damage. The project was completed efficiently, leaving the homeowner with a safer, level patio that they could enjoy without worry. Additionally, the minimal disruption during installation and the non-invasive nature of the solution left the surrounding landscape intact.

Conclusion: This project highlights the effectiveness of Foundation Repair of CA's combination of PolyLevel and NexusPro in addressing sinking and cracked concrete. The team’s expertise and use of innovative materials provided a durable solution, restoring the homeowner’s backyard patio to a safe and usable condition.
