When a homeowner in Owen, WI, noticed a rising trip hazard in their garage, safety became an immediate concern. With age making them more susceptible to accidents, the fear of either spouse tripping and getting injured led to heightened anxiety. Realizing that this issue needed prompt attention, they reached out for help, determined to find a lasting solution that would eliminate the risk of falls and ensure the safety of their garage.
Solution
DBS responded quickly by scheduling an inspection with one of our System Design Specialists. After a thorough assessment, it was determined that the garage floor was uneven, creating a significant safety hazard. To address this, we recommended PolyLevel® injection, a trusted solution for leveling concrete. The PolyLevel® foam was injected beneath the slab, where it expanded to precisely raise and level the floor with minimal disruption. Our skilled team performed the work efficiently, drilling small holes and injecting the foam until the floor was perfectly leveled. The process was quick, clean, and left the garage floor looking flawless. With the trip hazard eliminated, the homeowners were relieved to see their safety concerns resolved, feeling confident that their garage floor was now secure and stable.
This photo shows the garage slab near the stairs after the PolyLevel® treatment. The once uneven surface is now perfectly level, eliminating the trip hazard that was present before. The concrete is smooth and even, providing a safe and secure walking surface, with no visible signs of the work done to correct the issue. The area is ready for use, offering the homeowner peace of mind and a safer environment.
In this "before" photo, you can see the garage slab near the stairs showing clear signs of unevenness, creating a noticeable trip hazard. The raised area near the steps posed a significant safety risk, especially for the homeowners, who were concerned about the potential for falls. This was the issue that prompted the homeowner to reach out to DBS for a reliable solution.
This photo captures the sidewalk before the PolyLevel® treatment, showing significant unevenness and raised concrete slabs. The uneven surface created a potential tripping hazard, particularly around the entrance. The homeowner's concern for safety, along with the unsightly appearance of the sidewalk, made it clear that the area needed attention to restore both its functionality and appearance.
In this "after" photo, the sidewalk has been successfully leveled using PolyLevel®. The previously uneven slabs are now smooth and level, eliminating the trip hazard and improving the overall appearance of the entrance. The concrete surface is now uniform, providing a safer, more welcoming path for the homeowners and their guests. The result is both practical and visually pleasing.
