Restoring Driveway Safety and Aesthetics with PolyLevel

Challenge

The Challenge: A homeowner in Granite Bay, CA, faced an increasingly frustrating and hazardous issue with their driveway. Over time, one area of the driveway had begun to settle, leaving it uneven and creating a potential tripping hazard. Concerned about safety and eager to address the problem, the homeowner sought a solution that would not only repair the issue but also avoid the mess and expense associated with removing and replacing the decorative concrete. Ensuring the aesthetic integrity of the existing driveway was a top priority.

Solution

The Solution: The homeowner contacted Foundation Repair of CA for an expert evaluation. Upon inspection, the team identified the underlying issue: soil settlement beneath the concrete slab. To address this, Foundation Repair of CA proposed a minimally invasive and cost-effective solution: PolyLevel foam injection.

Scope of Work:

Strategic Port Drilling: Small port holes were drilled in strategic locations, as indicated on the job drawing, to provide optimal access for foam injection.
Polyurethane Foam Injection: PolyLevel foam was injected beneath the affected area of the driveway. The expanding foam filled voids, stabilized the underlying soil, and gently lifted the concrete back to its original level.
Surface Hole Filling: Once the lifting process was complete, the team filled the surface holes, ensuring a smooth and seamless finish.

The Results: The PolyLevel injection successfully restored the driveway to a level surface, eliminating the tripping hazard and ensuring the homeowner’s peace of mind. The decorative concrete remained intact, avoiding the need for costly and disruptive replacement. The process was completed efficiently, with minimal mess and downtime, exceeding the homeowner’s expectations.
