After years of living with an uneven driveway, this homeowner in Severn, MD was ready to take charge of their driveway! With PolyLevel and NexusPro joint sealant, we were able to lift the uneven concrete slabs and seal all the joints so that any future cracking or concerns would be no longer!

PolyLevel can be used in this instance to remedy the problem caused by soil settlement. Contact DryZone today if these pictures look like a problem that you may be facing!

You do not have to settle for settlement issues in relationship to your home. These front steps had caused this homeowner to have concerns. Over time, the steps had begun to sink into the home and the damage was continuing to escalate. DryZone utilized helical piers to lift and secure the steps so the homeowner's home would be protected, allowing for clear and level entry for years to come. 

A helical pier is another type of steel pier that can be used to permanently stabilize your home. They're named for their unique design; the first section that is advanced into the ground has one or more helix-shaped blades welded to the shaft, allowing it to be mechanically screwed into the soil. They can be used the bring the home back toward its original position or to stabilize a lighter structure that has settled, such as a deck or stoop.  For this project, four helical piers were being used in the foundation for an elevator shaft due to test results indicating that the soils were incapable of supporting a foundation with a design bearing pressure of 1000psf.  This addition to the homeowner's home would be stable for life with the helical piers installed before there is a problem!
