Concrete Repair in Gladstone, Virginia
Challenge
A homeowner in Gladstone contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions after discovering uneven concrete inside their garage and along the driveway apron. The settlement had created a noticeable slope toward the garage door, allowing rainwater to collect near the entrance. Over time, the uneven surface posed both safety and drainage concerns.
Upon inspection, we found that soil compaction issues beneath the slab had led to void formation and gradual sinking. The concrete itself remained structurally sound, making lifting and stabilization a viable solution. The homeowner wanted to correct the issue quickly without undergoing a full slab replacement.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions performed polyurethane foam injection to lift and stabilize the affected slabs. Small holes were drilled into the concrete, and high-density foam was injected beneath the surface.
As the foam expanded, it filled empty spaces and gently raised the slab back to its proper elevation. The material cured rapidly, creating a durable, water-resistant foundation beneath the concrete.
After completion, the garage floor and driveway apron were properly aligned, improving drainage and eliminating the hazard. The homeowner appreciated the fast turnaround and long-term stability provided by the concrete lifting solution.
