Restoring Stability in Springbrook, WI: PolyLevel® Rescues Sinking Patio Near Retaining Wall
Challenge
In Springbrook, WI, a homeowner faced a concerning issue with their patio. Over time, a large section of the concrete patio began sinking and tilting away from the retaining wall, creating a serious safety hazard. As seen in the "before" photo, the uneven surface not only posed a tripping risk but also compromised the structural integrity of the patio. The sinking concrete was especially concerning near the retaining wall, where the potential for further damage or displacement was high. The homeowner was understandably worried about the increasing instability, both from a safety perspective and in terms of the patio's overall appearance. Without a prompt solution, the patio could continue to deteriorate, leading to more significant repair costs down the line.
Solution
Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the homeowner reached out to us at DBS, and we quickly scheduled an inspection. After assessing the patio's condition, we recommended using PolyLevel®, an innovative and effective solution for lifting and leveling sunken concrete. This advanced polyurethane foam injection system works by injecting a lightweight foam beneath the sunken concrete, which then expands and gently lifts the patio back to its original level. The PolyLevel® injection was precisely applied to the affected area, and over time, the foam raised the patio to its proper position, restoring both stability and appearance. As seen in the "after" photo, the patio now has a smooth, even surface that not only looks great but is also safe to walk on. The solution is both long-lasting and minimally invasive, allowing the homeowner to enjoy a structurally sound and visually appealing patio for years to come. The successful outcome highlights our dedication to providing high-quality, lasting solutions for our customers, ensuring peace of mind and a safer environment.
