Photo Album: Back Patio Lifted and Leveled in Columbia Heights, MN
Homeowners in Columbia Heights, MN wanted to restore their back patio. Over time, soil washout caused their slab to settle and crack. Looking for a permanent solution, they contacted DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate on our PolyLevel service.Concrete Repair Production Manager Steve Lafontaine visited the home to measure movement on the slab and design a custom solution. DBS Foreman Elisha Schlipp and her team installed expanding PolyLevel beneath the home's driveway, sidewalk, and patio. This polyurethane foam is injected beneath the slab via a pea-sized hole in the concrete. Expanding upon application, it raises the slab back to level and hardens as it cures. From there, they filled the concrete cracks with NexusPro®.After a successful project to lift and level the slab, the homeowners can now make better use of their outdoor spaces.
Inches of Settlement Due to Soil Washout
