Concrete Repair in Manakin Sabot, Virginia
Challenge
A homeowner in Manakin Sabot contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions after observing significant settlement in their garage floor and adjoining driveway slab. The uneven surfaces created difficulty when parking vehicles and presented tripping hazards along the entryway. In addition, water began collecting in the sunken areas after storms, contributing to further soil washout beneath the concrete.
During the inspection, it was determined that unstable soil conditions and long-term erosion had caused voids beneath the concrete slabs. As support weakened, the slabs gradually shifted and settled. The homeowner wanted a reliable, long-term solution that would restore the concrete’s structural support without the high cost and inconvenience of replacement.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions recommended a polyurethane concrete lifting and stabilization system to address the issue. Technicians drilled small injection ports into the affected slabs and injected high-strength polyurethane foam beneath the surface.
The expanding material filled soil voids, stabilized the subgrade, and carefully lifted the concrete back into a level position. Once complete, the garage floor and driveway were restored to a safe and functional condition. The homeowner appreciated the fast turnaround time and the durable results, knowing their concrete was stabilized for the long term.
