A business in Millsboro, DE reached out to the experts at DryZone due to uneven surfaces on their pool deck, which had become a serious tripping hazard. Our System Design Specialist, Joseph, conducted a free inspection and developed a cost-effective plan to repair the concrete rather than replace it entirely.        The key components of this concrete repair project included PolyLEVEL and NexusPro Crack Repair. PolyLEVEL is a high-performance solution designed to lift and stabilize sunken concrete. We inject a structural-grade polymer into the underlying voids by drilling small, penny-sized holes into the slab. As the polyurethane expands, it precisely lifts and levels the concrete for a long lasting fix.      With the concrete now even and secure, this Millsboro, DE business no longer has to worry about safety hazards on its pool deck.

A homeowner in Millsboro, DE, was experiencing sagging floors in what they consider their forever home. 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. DryZone is proud to have helped protect another Delmarva home for years to come.
