Sunken Patio Repair

Ground Consolidation Services recently leveled one end of a concrete patio (with brick overlay) that had settled due to unstable soil.  As you can see from the “before” photo in the included image, a significant gap had appeared between the patio and the bottom edge of the siding on the house.

The suburban family at this residence knew one thing for sure: the siding wasn’t moving upwards.  So, their patio must have been sinking into the ground.  They found Ground Consolidation Services and asked for one of our free – and very thorough – site evaluations.

Polyurethane Concrete Leveling

Once the scope of the problem and the cost of the solution were both clear, they hired GCS to repair the problem.  GCS technicians used Alchemy-Spetec’s AP Lift 430 polyurethane foam to gradually and carefully lift the patio back to its exact original level.  See the contrast between the “before” and “after” photos.  This powerful polyurethane foam has been used to lift entire small buildings, so there is no doubt about its strength.  Needless to say, the owners of this house were delighted to have their patio repaired at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
