Chris of Newark, DE, noticed that the concrete around his pool had become uneven in several areas, creating a tripping hazard. Knowing that replacing the concrete would be costly and could risk damaging the pool in the process, he began exploring other options. He contacted the experts at DryZone to schedule a free inspection.    Our System Design Specialist, Joseph, performed a thorough inspection and discussed solutions to lift and level the concrete back to its original height.    This repair involved two major components: PolyLevel and NexusPro Crack Repair. PolyLevel permanently lifts and stabilizes sinking concrete slabs using a high-density polyurethane formula. Small, penny-sized holes are drilled into the slab, and a structural-grade polymer is injected into the void. As it expands, the polyurethane provides a precise lift and levels the slab.    Thanks to these solutions, Chris was able to have the concrete around his pool lifted and leveled, eliminating tripping hazards and avoiding the cost and risk of a full replacement.

Concerned that the problem would worsen over time and worried about the tripping hazard, she began researching possible solutions. That's when she discovered DryZone's concrete lifting and leveling services.    Our System Design Specialist, Derek, conducted a thorough inspection and explained how we could lift and level the concrete pads using PolyLevel.   This project involved two key components: PolyLevel and NexusPro Joint Sealant. PolyLevel is a high-density polyurethane formula that permanently lifts and stabilizes sinking concrete slabs. The process begins by drilling small, penny-sized holes in the slab, then injecting a structural-grade polymer into the void beneath. As the polyurethane expands, it gently and precisely lifts the slab back to its original position. The installation is typically completed in just a few hours, and the surface can be used again in as little as 15 minutes.    With the concrete now level, NexusPro Joint Sealant was applied to protect the joints from water intrusion, helping prevent future damage.
