Foundation Repair of CA Before & After Photos

Mr. Stewart loves his pool and he loves his kids, but, more importantly, he loves when his kids are smiling and having fun. That is why it became such a concern that a portion of his pool deck had broken off the main slab and had begun to sink down and create a tripping hazard. Because summer was coming within the next two months, he became increasingly distraught at the thought of his children and their friends playing in the pool, only to trip, fall, and scrape their knee--or worse, break a bone.

Thankfully for Mr. Stewart, Jim Palamides was able to evaluate the issue and find the best solution for him. When Jim arrived at Stewart's home, he took his time to properly document and assess the problem area, and used the opportunity to carefully explain to Mr. Stewart of how the solution will work.

When David "DJ" Serpa arrived to the home two weeks later, he agreed with Jim's assessment that the PolyLevel system would be the perfect solution. DJ expertly injected the polyurethane foam underneath the slab and watched as the slab rose up to match the surrounding areas, and thus eliminate the tripping hazard.

Mr. Stewart appreciated the work done by Foundation Repair of CA. Jim was timely and thorough and DJ was a careful craftsman, and thanks to the two of them, Stewart's children can play in the pool with no worries of scraped knees.

The concrete slab of this home had many large cracks in it, a sign that the foundation was settling. Our solution for this was to install push piers on the exterior foundation and install slab stitches on the interior slab. Here is a before and after of the slab stitch repair. The slab stitches act just like if a doctor gave you stitches for a wound that needed to heal. 

The existing concrete slab was experiencing cracking. We saw cut holes in a pattern and installed PP288 Slab Push Piers to prevent further cracking. The holes and existing cracks were then sealed with a concrete patch. 

Mr. and Mrs .Underwood love to throw summer pool parties. They both grew up around water and absolutely adore swimming, and being as popular as they are, they know how to throw the best parties. One of their parties went a little too far though when Mr. Underwood's cousin tripped and fell into the pool due to a tripping hazard made from a slab of concrete sinking into the earth. The slab had sunk by two inches due to pool water seeping through the joints between the slabs. 

Thankfully, when Jim Palamides saw this, he knew exactly how to fix the problem. Having seen this issue many times before, Jim used his experience to suggest an injection of PolyLevel Foam. This process works by drilling holes into the concrete, injecting a polyurethane foam in through the hole, and the polyurethane will begin to foam underneath the slab and thus raise the slab to its original position.

When Foreman David "DJ" Syrup arrived to the Underwood residence, he was both cautious and confident. Seeing that the slab was not cracking and had simply fallen straight down, he knew that this slab could come up beautifully, however, due to the amount that it had fallen, he knew that he needed to be careful about how fast he injected it. 

And just like the turtle versus the hare, DJ was able to slowly and surely lift this slab perfectly to match the surrounding areas. Now the Underwood parties can continue.
