A homeowner in Harbeson, DE, was dealing with erosion beneath their concrete driveway, which was creating voids and raising concerns about potential sinking or collapse. Worried about the cost of replacing the concrete, they began researching alternatives and discovered a more efficient solution. That's when they reached out to the experts at DryZone to schedule a free inspection.    Our System Design Specialist, Joe, conducted a thorough assessment and explained how DryZone could use the PolyLevel system to lift and stabilize the concrete. This innovative solution not only restores the driveway to its original height but also fills the voids caused by water erosion beneath the slab.   The main component of this concrete lifting and leveling project was PolyLevel, a high-density polyurethane foam designed to permanently lift and stabilize sinking concrete. The installation process begins by drilling small, penny-sized holes into the slab. Then the structural grade polymer is injected into the voids beneath, expanding to fill the gaps and raise the concrete. Most projects can be completed in just a few hours, with the surface ready for use just 15 minutes after application.      Thanks to DryZone, this Harbeson, DE, homeowner can now feel confident that their driveway is stable and secure. We're proud to help another homeowner on Delmarva.

Concerned about the potential structural damage if left unaddressed, they contacted the experts at DryZone to schedule a free inspection.    Our System Design Specialist, Tom, performed a thorough evaluation and discovered that the home's support beams had begun to sag, leading to the uneven floors. Tom explained the causes and reviewed the best solutions to restore the home's stability.    The key components of this foundation repair were the installation of a supplemental beam and the SmartJack System. The SmartJack System is designed to stabilize crawlspace beams and floor joists. It's the ideal solution for lifting floors back toward their original position and reducing floor bounce caused by weakened joists or long spans.    The system works by addressing weak foundation soils with a base of engineered fill to evenly distribute the home's weight. Galvanized steel columns are cut to length, placed on a cast aluminum footing, and attached to the girders or supplemental beam using adjustable top brackets. Heavy-duty threaded rods allow precise adjustment and in many cases, even lift sagging or sloping floors.    With this solution in place, the Millsboro homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind knowing their floors are secure and supported.
