PolyLevel® Concrete Lifting & Leveling
PolyLevel® is sometimes mistakenly referred to as slab jacking. This concrete leveling product is a two-part foam engineered to expand immediately upon injection beneath a settled slab. Injection holes are much smaller than those required for mud jacking. In action, PolyLevel® expands to many times its original volume, forcing the sunken concrete back to its original level. Within a matter of minutes, the expanded polymer hardens and reaches 90% or more of its final strength. This makes it possible for the restored surface to regain full functionality right away.
Foundation Repair of CA now offers SealantPro and NexusPro. In just one clean application, SealantPro guards against oil, gasoline, water, other liquids, and debris. SealantPro shields your concrete from the elements and triples its lifespan. We also now offer NexusPro, the extremely dependable and long-lasting solution to cracks and joints in your concrete.

Project Overview
A homeowner in Castro Valley, CA, faced a common but frustrating problem: a sinking and cracking concrete patio in their backyard. The uneven surface posed a safety hazard and diminished the aesthetic appeal of their outdoor space. Determined to restore the patio to its original level and prevent future damage, the homeowner sought the expertise of Foundation Repair of CA.
Assessment and Recommended Solution
Upon inspection, our team identified that the soil beneath the patio had likely settled over time, causing the concrete to sink and crack. To address this issue, we recommended a two-part solution:
PolyLevel® Foam Injection: This innovative technique would lift the sunken concrete back into place by injecting polyurethane foam beneath the patio through small, strategically drilled port holes. The foam expands upon injection, filling voids and stabilizing the soil, effectively raising the concrete slab.
NexusPro® Joint Sealant: After lifting the slab, the cracks needed to be sealed to prevent water from infiltrating the surface and causing further damage. NexusPro® Joint Sealant, a highly durable silicone-based sealant, was chosen to fill and seal the cracks, providing long-lasting protection.
Execution
The project began with the installation of the PolyLevel® system. Our crew drilled port holes in a grid pattern across the patio, injecting the polyurethane foam beneath the slab. As the foam expanded, it lifted the sunken sections of the patio back to their original position. The port holes were then filled and smoothed, leaving the surface clean and even.
Next, our team addressed the cracks in the patio using the NexusPro® Joint Sealant. The joints were thoroughly cleaned, and prepared for application of the NexusPro®. The silicone sealant was then injected into the cracks, smoothed, and finished with sand for a seamless look. While NexusPro® does not match existing concrete aggregate finishes, it offers superior flexibility and durability, ensuring that the repairs will withstand the test of time.
Results
The project was completed successfully, with the patio lifted back into place and the cracks sealed to prevent future damage. The homeowner was extremely pleased with the results, noting the improvement in both safety and appearance. Thanks to Foundation Repair of CA's expert team and advanced solutions, the homeowner can now enjoy their outdoor space with confidence, knowing that their patio is stable and protected.
