Severe Concrete Settlement Threatened the Home’s Entry and Carport
During a full property renovation in Mountain Home, AR, homeowner and investor Kelly J. discovered that the front porch and carport concrete slabs had sunk dramatically, creating visible cracks and uneven surfaces. The front porch, in particular, had dropped enough to pose a tripping hazard and a clear sign of soil settlement beneath the slab. This level of displacement not only affected the curb appeal of the home but also threatened the long-term structural integrity of the entryway and carport areas—critical features for property resale value.
Advanced PolyLevel® Injection and Slab Jacking Restored a Safe, Level Surface
To correct the problem, our team utilized PolyLevel® concrete lifting foam, a cutting-edge solution designed to raise and stabilize sinking concrete. Two slab jacks were strategically placed to assist with the lift while the expanding polyurethane foam provided precision leveling beneath the slab. Technicians also cut and chiseled along existing cracks to relieve tension and ensure a clean, even lift. Through careful coordination, the crew achieved complete leveling of the front porch and both sunken areas of the carport, eliminating visible cracks and restoring a smooth, safe surface throughout.
Protective Crawl Space Coating Adds Long-Term Durability
In addition to the concrete restoration, LumberKote™ was applied throughout the crawl space, creating a moisture-resistant barrier that helps prevent wood rot and structural decay. This combined approach addressed both surface-level and foundational concerns, enhancing the home’s stability and value. The results impressed the property owner, who praised the quality and precision of the work.
