Sinking Porch Lifted in Onalaska, WI

A homeowner in Onalaska, WI, has noticed that his back porch has begun sinking, causing the area to become uneven and bumpy. Concerned it was a trip hazard, the homeowner knew the issue must be addressed. Realizing that he had an annual maintenance coming up for his basement, he decided that it would be the perfect time to let our Service Technician know. 

On the day of the appointment, our Service Technician, Jack N., ensured that the sump pump and dehumidifier were working properly. He also checked for any signs of water leaks. After this, he took a look at the concrete slabs on the back porch. He noticed signs of soil washout and explained to the homeowner that soil washout is the process in which water moves through the ground and washes away the supporting soil. To fix this, Jack recommended installing PolyLevel, our quick and effective foam solution that accurately lifts sinking slabs, and NexusPro, our silicone-based sealant that is UV resistant. The homeowner was thankful for Jack's service and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Sam K., and his crew arrived to lift the slabs. They began by drilling small holes into the slabs before injecting PolyLevel. Once the slabs have been lifted to the desired height, the crew applies NexusPro along the center joints.
