These homeowners were worried that someone will trip and fall because their front porch stairs were broken and had sunk. They also frequently have friends over so they feel like it is an eyesore and an embarrassment. This is their forever home, so they want to enjoy coming home and utilizing the space their front porch provides.
We assessed that the soil under the concrete was voided and with the weight of the stairs, it cracked the slab at the bottom of the last step. The two slabs leading up to the stairs had also fallen and it was only a matter of time before the rest of the slabs experienced the same fate. To restore the curb appeal of the concrete we started by using a jack to prop up the stairs and inject PolyLevel foam under them to stabilize the area. We then lifted and stabilized the other two slabs that had fallen. All control joints were cleaned and caulked with NexusPro. Now this couple can feel good about having friends come over!
This homeowner wanted to make his front step safe for kids because his family is planning on fostering more kids. The previous homeowner had patched up the step, but it didn't repair the drop the steps have experienced due to soil washout underneath. This acted as a bandage to improve the appearance, but not a real solution. We used PolyLevel foam to lift and level the step, filling the voids and compressing the loose soil that remained after the other soil was washed out. Now this step is safe and secure for the homeowner and his family.
These homeowners were experiencing sinking in their driveway near the garage apron, causing a noticeable bump whenever they pulled their car in and out of the garage. This issue was both an eyesore and a constant annoyance.
To resolve this problem, we used our polyurethane foam to lift and level the concrete back to the garage's original level. The foam is injected under the slab, where it fills the voids, expands, hardens, and lifts the slab back into place.
The homeowners were thrilled with this solution, finding it more permanent than mud jacking, and they were ready to enjoy their improved driveway throughout the summer months!
These homeowners had several large cracks on the side of their driveway near the garage. They were also experiencing some settling and voids in other areas concerning them. They were looking for a company that could fix it well and not cost an arm and a leg. So they called Thrasher. Beau Morris went out to their home to do the inspection. He found that the soil from underneath the slab was washed out, and that's why voids were appearing and cracking the concrete.
To fix this issue, we used our concrete protection 2-part system, including PolyLevel, to lift and level the settled concrete and then NexusPro to seal all joints and cracks.
The homeowners were amazed with the finished product, and happy Thrasher could get it done.
This sidewalk was in need of a makeover. PolyLevel foam was used to raise the uneven spots back to a level surface, then we used NexusPro to seal the joints protecting the concrete from future damage. The sidewalk now is protected and looks brand new!
