Photo Album: Concrete Steps Were Sinking in Front of Commercial Building, Framingham, MA
The owner of a commercial building in Framingham, Massachusetts, had the front steps of their building sinking and beginning to create a tripping hazard. The owner doesn't know when the issue started but it has become a hazard and the owner doesn't want anyone getting injured. The owner decided to call EFS for an inspection, and our design specialist recommended installing PolyLevel under the front steps to lift and level the steps and NexusPro to seal the cracks.
Our production team began by setting up slab jacks around the areas that have sunken and lifted them up using PolyLevel. To lift the slab the team used a combination of slab jacks and PolyLevel to lift the slab. After all of the slabs were leveled the team used NexusPro to seal any cracks in the slabs. The team used a caulking gun to set a bead of NexusPro into each crack. Then the team used caulking spoons to evenly spread the NexusPro throughout the crack. After all of the cracks were sealed the job was complete.
Front Steps Before
The front steps in front of this commercial building were sinking and causing a tripping hazard.
Slab Jacks on Back Left Corner
The team used slab jacks and PolyLevel to lift the slabs.
Slab Jacks
The team lifted up each slab with slab jacks. The jacks create a void under the slab and the team sprays PolyLevel into that void so it can lift up the slab.
Front Steps After
The team finished lifting the slab and then used NexusPro to seal the cracks.
