Geneseo, IL Patio Repair

Challenge

A homeowner in Geneseo, IL, faced a common yet frustrating problem: their outdoor patio, once a welcoming space for entertaining, was not significantly cracked and uneven. This deterioration not only detracted from the patio's aesthetic appeal but also made it unsafe and unpractical for hosting gatherings. The homeowner sought a reliable and lasting solution to restore their outdoor living area, eager to once again enjoy effortless entertaining without the annoyance of a compromised surface. 

Solution

Upon inspection, our System Design Specialist identified the root cause of the issue: soil erosion beneath the concrete slabs, leading to their sinking and shifting. With a clear understanding of the problem, an effective repair strategy was implemented. 

The transformation began with the precise application of the PolyLevel system. Pea-sized holes were strategically drilled into the patio, through which a high-strength polyurethane foam was injected. This foam expanded beneath the slabs, expertly lifting them back to their original, level position. This process effectively addressed the unevenness and sinking caused by the eroded soil. 

To ensure long-term stability and prevent further issues, the team then applied NexusPro Joint Sealant to all existing cracks and joints. This superior sealant created a robust barrier, preventing water from seeping beneath the slabs and compromising the newly leveled surface. This step was crucial for maintaining the integrity and appearance of the patio through various weather conditions. 

Finally, the revitalized concrete pads received a protective coating of SealantPro. This advanced sealant provided a strong barrier against water and chemical damage, significantly extending the lifespan of the patio and ensuring that staining and flaking would be a thing of the past. 

This comprehensive approach - from previse leveling to protective sealing - resulted in a smooth, level patio ready for any occasion.
