Concrete Leveling Professionals
Is your patio or driveway cracked, uneven, or sunken? If so, you're in the right place! Foundation Repair of CA have years of experience specializing in concrete leveling services. Our trained concrete leveling experts use PolyLevel® polymer foam which is injected under the concrete slab and will expand and raise the damaged concrete to provide a smooth finished surface. PolyLevel® is stronger, more durable, and less invasive than other concrete leveling & repair methods such as slab jacking or mud jacking. The injection holes used for PolyLevel® 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 minutes, the expanded concrete leveling polymer hardens and reaches 90% or more of its final strength. Our concrete repair method makes it possible for the restored surface to regain full functionality right away!

Project Overview
A homeowner in Tracy, CA, was facing sinking and cracking in their driveway, causing concern about potential long-term structural damage and aesthetic issues. The uneven driveway surface was not only unsightly but also a safety hazard. Foundation Repair of CA was called to assess the situation and provide a long-lasting solution.
Challenges
The primary issues were the sinking of the concrete slab and noticeable cracks that had developed over time. The homeowner needed a reliable and efficient fix to stabilize the driveway, lift the sunken areas, and prevent further cracking or damage.
Solution
After a thorough assessment, Foundation Repair of CA implemented a comprehensive repair plan that included the following:
PolyLevel (Foam Injection)
To address the sinking concrete, PolyLevel foam injection was chosen as the ideal solution. The installation process involved drilling small port holes in a grid pattern across the affected areas of the driveway. Through these holes, a high-density polyurethane foam was injected underneath the concrete. The foam expanded, lifting the concrete back to its original level, effectively stabilizing the driveway and preventing future sinking. All surface holes were filled after the injection process to ensure a seamless finish.
NexusPro (Joint Sealant)
To repair the cracks and protect the joints between concrete slabs, NexusPro joint sealant was applied. The process involved cleaning the joint gaps, and injecting a silicone-based sealant. This flexible sealant was then smoothed and finished with a light sand coating, ensuring a durable, watertight seal that would help prevent further cracking.
SealantPro (Concrete Sealant)
Finally, the driveway was treated with SealantPro to provide an extra layer of protection. The team power washed the surface to remove dirt and debris, then sprayed the SealantPro solution over the entire driveway. This coating penetrated the concrete, creating a protective barrier against water, oil, and other contaminants. Though the power washing did not guarantee the removal of all existing stains, the treatment significantly improved the driveway's appearance and longevity.
Results
The PolyLevel injection successfully lifted the sinking concrete, restoring the driveway to its original level. The NexusPro joint sealant ensured that all cracks were sealed, protecting the concrete from further damage. SealantPro provided a protective finish that would keep the driveway in good condition for years to come. The homeowner was pleased with the quick, effective repair, and the restored driveway now offers both safety and aesthetic appeal.
Conclusion
Foundation Repair of CA delivered a comprehensive and permanent solution to the homeowner’s sinking and cracking driveway. The combination of PolyLevel foam injection, NexusPro joint sealant, and SealantPro concrete sealant ensured a durable repair, providing peace of mind to the homeowner. This project exemplifies Foundation Repair of CA's commitment to delivering high-quality, long-lasting results.
Project Overview: A homeowner in Tracy, CA, reached out to Foundation Repair of CA due to concerns about visible settlement issues affecting their home’s foundation. The homeowner noticed cracking in their stem walls and interior walls, indicative of shifting soil and foundation settlement. Understanding the potential structural risks, they sought a permanent solution to stabilize their home and prevent further damage.
Challenges:
- Foundation Settlement: Cracks were appearing in both the stem walls and interior walls due to the shifting foundation. These visible signs indicated that the foundation was no longer stable, and the settlement was impacting the overall structural integrity of the home.
- Flat Land: The property was situated on flat land, which required a specialized approach for pier installation to stabilize the foundation.
Solution Provided by Foundation Repair of CA:
Push Pier Installation (Galvanized, Low-Profile Brackets): To address the foundation settlement, Foundation Repair of CA installed Push Piers with low-profile brackets designed specifically for homes situated on flat land. This solution involved:
- Excavating up to 3 feet of soil at each pier location.
- Installing the galvanized Push Piers to an impressive 80-foot depth to reach stable soil strata, ensuring long-term support and stability for the foundation.
- The low-profile brackets were ideal for structures with limited vertical clearance, minimizing disruption during installation.
- To maintain optimal performance, the homeowner was recommended to join the company’s Care Club Membership for annual maintenance.
Concrete Removal for Pier Installation: As part of the pier installation process, sections of concrete were removed at each pier location. Foundation Repair of CA carefully removed approximately 3’ x 3’ sections of concrete to ensure sufficient access for the pier installation. The removed concrete was hauled away and disposed of, leaving a clean workspace for the next phase of repairs.
Angle Iron Installation for Additional Support: Based on the engineer’s recommendation, additional angle iron (6"x6"x5/16") was installed at the footing of the foundation in specific locations to provide extra reinforcement at the pier bracket locations. This crucial step ensured enhanced support and stability where it was most needed, further protecting the home from future settlement issues.
Results: The installation of the Push Piers successfully stabilized the foundation, halting further settlement. The cracks in the stem walls and interior walls were effectively addressed, and the homeowner was reassured that their home was once again secure. The homeowner’s peace of mind was further solidified with the recommendation of ongoing annual service through the Care Club Membership to maintain the integrity of the foundation system.
Conclusion: Foundation Repair of CA provided a tailored and permanent solution to the homeowner’s settlement issues in Tracy, CA. With the expert installation of galvanized Push Piers, angle iron reinforcements, and professional concrete removal, the home's foundation was restored to stability, ensuring a safe and secure living environment for years to come.
A lot has changed since the 1970's. That decade is often memorialized as being one filled with paranoia. This home was built in 1978, and while our culture above the ground has significantly changed since then, the soil below Mr. C's home also went through a major change.
The crawlspace suffers in silence until it's own problems begin to be problems for the rest of the house. Mr. C began to notice these problems when the walls of his home began to separate from the ceiling. "That can't be good," he said to himself years ago. He figured that he could put off repairing it until it was absolutely necessary, likening the situation to driving with a cracked windshield that you can still see through.
But the time finally came when he wanted to remodel his home. Remodeling your home before fixing your floor and foundation issues is a recipe for disaster. Mr. C called us to his home to do a thorough inspection of his home, including the crawlspace for which our Structural Consultant, Jesse Marquez, got on his belly to do. When the time came to do the work, our crew installed 16 SmartJack Adjustable Steel Posts to lift and stabilize Mr. C's home back to the way it used to be. Now Mr. C can begin the work of remodeling his home with the assurance that his floor won't be in the way.
Mr. Y became aware of a large crack in the concrete under the carpeting of a rental he owned. They property manager contacted Foundation Repair of CA to evaluate the home and it was determined that a back corner of the home had settled causing the concrete to crack.
Foundation Repair of CA proposed to lift and stabilize the perimeter of the foundation using 5 push piers and then injected PolyLevel under the foundation to fill any voids. The actual job took 2 days to complete.
