Julie’s concrete walkway leading to her home’s back patio in Osprey, Florida, had become a troublesome tripping hazard after the middle slab sank below the others, creating an uneven surface. After scheduling a free inspection with us at LRE Foundation Repair, we sent one of our expert Design Specialists out to her home to help diagnose the problem and provide a solution. Upon verifying that soil settlement beneath the concrete was the root cause of the issue, our team quickly stepped in and injected PolyLevel directly underneath the sunken slab, successfully raising it back to its normal, level position. With the trip hazard now completely removed, Julie can feel safe knowing that she and others are no longer at risk of injury.
In Groveland, Florida, Tim's concrete walkway to his front door had become uneven due to sections being lifted by an underlying tree root. The resulting heave to the slabs had created a significant trip hazard and injuries had already previously occurred. Wanting to prevent further injuries to himself and others, Tim reached out to LRE Foundation Repair in hopes of finding a solution. Following an inspection by an LRE Design Specialist, a plan was devised to lift the slabs adjacent to the raised section using PolyLevel, creating an even, level surface. In addition, the walkway would be further protected by sealing the joints with NexusPro to prevent water from seeping beneath the concrete. After the LRE team implemented these solutions, Tim's concrete walkway was leveled and secured, making his trip hazard worries a thing of the past.
Tim had been grappling with a troublesome trip hazard in the concrete walkway of his home in Groveland, Florida, caused by a tree root that had heaved the slabs and caused them to become uneven. Having already suffered injuries from the trip hazard, Tim knew he had to address the problem immediately and called LRE Foundation Repair. After closely examining the walkway, an LRE Design Specialist recommended the Two-Part Concrete Protection System to repair Tim’s walkway. First, the LRE team lifted the uneven slabs to create an even surface, effectively eliminating the trip hazard. The joints between the slabs were then sealed with NexusPro to prevent cracking and safeguard against water intrusion. Tim was very pleased with the outcome, as his trip hazard concerns were resolved, and his walkway was now secured and stabilized.
A section of Susan’s concrete walkway in Lithia, Florida, had settled into the ground, becoming uneven with the adjacent slabs and creating a notable tripping hazard. She needed to get this issue fixed before anybody could get hurt, so she called us at LRE Foundation Repair and scheduled a free inspection. Our Design Specialist visited Susan’s home and after examining the concrete, they recommended our Two-Part Concrete Protection system to fully repair the walkway. First, our team injected PolyLevel directly underneath the settled slabs to lift them to their original level and create an even, smooth surface. Next, the joints separating each slab were filled with NexusPro to prevent them from cracking and allowing water to intrude underneath the concrete. Following the completion of the work, Susan was delighted to see the trip hazards were completely removed, and her walkway was now level and permanently stabilized.
Joan D. was growing concerned as there were many areas of her driveway and sidewalks that were sinking, leaving large cracks and tripping hazards at her Nokomis, Florida home. She decided to call LRE Foundation Repair for a solution to her damaged concrete. Upon inspection, LRE determined loose, sandy soils had been washed out over time causing voids under the slabs. To remedy this problem, LRE injected a two-part polyurethane material called PolyLevel through small holes in the concrete slab. PolyLevel flows easily through soils, expanding on contact to fill voids and lift the concrete slab back level. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and could rest easy now that here tripping hazards were gone for good.
