Photo Album: Porch Repair in Castle Rock, CO

This homeowner had called Thrasher to help him with his porch because he did not want water to get into the foundation, which could make the problem worse and more expensive. He also knw this was a tripping hazard, and did not want him or any of his company to fall getting in. He knew Thrasher had the best reputation and great professionalism so Mike Williams, System Design Specialist, came out to assess what was going on. He found the front patio was settling towards the house due to poor soil used as fill under the soil. The weight of the concrete can cause it to sink if the compaction of the soil is not right. He went back to the homeowner with these findings and together they decided on a solution. We used PolyLevel to lift the patio back up to its original level, and sealed off all joints using NexusPro. See how our awesome installation team comes together to repair this sinking porch!

Porch Settling

There is major settling here at the top of these steps. This not only a tripping hazard, but can cause water to intrude into the home and into the basement. Polylevel and NexusPro can be used here to lift the concrete step back into place and seal the joints.

Cracking and Sinking Porch in Castle Rock, CO

You can see how the porch is starting to settle if you look between where the wall stops and where the concrete should lay. Polylevel is the best solution for these types of issues, because it is very durable and waterproof. Compared to traditional mudjacking, it will stay in place over the years instead of getting washed out by rain fall!

Compared to the before photo, you can see how the Polylevel lifted the porch back into place. Then we used our NexusPro to fill the in the joint from the concrete and the stone wall. We also used the NexusPro to fill in the cracks on the porch.

PolyLevel and NexusPro installed

Polylevel is a foam substance that expands and helps lift and level concrete back into place. NexusPro is our caulking substance that we use to fill and seal the cracks and joints. Both of these are waterproof, so it also helps prevent washout over the years of rain!
