Concrete Leveling in Herndon, Virginia
Challenge
A homeowner in Herndon contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions after observing cracks and uneven sections along their sidewalk and front steps. The settlement had created safety hazards and detracted from the home’s curb appeal. In winter months, the uneven surfaces also increased the risk of ice buildup.
Inspection revealed that shifting soils and water infiltration had caused sections of the concrete to settle. Although the slabs were not severely cracked, continued movement could lead to further deterioration. The homeowner wanted a permanent repair that would prevent future sinking.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions utilized polyurethane foam injection to lift and stabilize the affected slabs. After drilling small, discrete holes, expanding foam was injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and restore support.
The foam expanded beneath the slab, gently lifting it back to a safe and level position. Once cured, it formed a durable base resistant to moisture and further soil movement.
The sidewalk and steps were restored quickly and efficiently, eliminating the trip hazard and enhancing the home’s overall appearance. The homeowner was confident their Herndon property was now protected with a reliable, long-term solution.
