Quality 1st Concrete Case Studies: Concrete Slab Settlement in Plainsboro, New Jersey

Challenge

The homeowner of a single family home decided to call Quality Concrete when he noticed settled and sunken concrete slabs on his property at his Plainsboro, New Jersey home. The concrete slab of the 1,995 square foot home experienced a total of 1 ½ inches of settlement. The homeowner had been living at the home for 2 years before he decided to contact Quality Concrete and take care of the problem. The sunken and settling slabs began to create tripping hazards, alarming the homeowner for the safety of his family and value, of his property.

Solution

Quality 1st Basement Systems remedied the homeowner’s problem with the PolyLEVEL (TM) Polyurethane Injection System. Head PolyLEVEL (TM) Specialist, Joe Nero, drilled penny sized holes into the settling and sunken parts of the concrete slab. He then used the specialized equipment to inject the polyurethane under the concrete and raise it back to its original elevation. With the use of the PolyLEVEL system, Quality Concrete was able to lift and stabilize the settling concrete slab(s). The PolyLEVEL system was installed in less than one day, with no mess left behind. The concrete slab was immediately able to be walked on just a few moments after the installation took place. This fast installation process gave the homeowner peace of mind and left him very happy knowing that his family can safely utilizetheir living space with no future settlement issues.
