Mc Lean homeowner needs sidewalk repair
Challenge
In McLean, VA, a homeowner faced a common but concerning issue: years after replacing pipes beneath a sidewalk, the concrete had settled unevenly, creating noticeable dips that posed potential safety hazards.
Concerned about the risks, the homeowner contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions to restore stability to the sidewalk. After speaking with our Customer Care team, a comprehensive inspection was scheduled with one of our expert System Designers.
The assessment revealed significant soil settlement, which had compromised the foundational support beneath the sidewalk.
Solution
To address the problem, our team recommended a proven solution using PolyLevel® and NexusPro® systems.
We began by drilling pea-sized holes in the affected sidewalk areas and injecting PolyLevel® high-strength polyurethane foam beneath the slabs. As it expanded, the foam lifted and leveled the concrete, eliminating voids and restoring proper support.
To protect the repair and enhance durability, we applied NexusPro® Joint Sealant, sealing all joints and cracks. Engineered to withstand extreme weather, this sealant prevents water infiltration and future soil erosion.
The result: a level, stable, and safe sidewalk, built to last. At Fortress Foundation Solutions, we don't just fix problems—we help prevent them from coming back.
