Concrete Leveling Photo Album: Water Entering Garage From Drive Way, Lexington, MA
This homeowner in Lexington, Massachusetts recently purchased her childhood home. She is planning on doing manageable renovations to increase the value of the home. She had completed a couple of renovations already but now has started working on the garage. Water from the driveway has been entering the garage and has caused some damage. She decided to call EFS for a free inspection.
Design Specialist Brian Swindell inspected the foundation and garage of the home. Brian discovered that there is some void below the slab in the garage that he recommend filling before attempting to lift the slab. To help stop the water from entering the garage Brian recommended installing Trench Drain at the mouth of the garage with a downspout.
Crew Lead Nick Melo and his team lifted the mouth of the garage to level and then filled the void under the slab. After the PolyLevel was injected, the team installed the Trench Drain at the mouth of the garage.
Driveway and Garage Before
Water was running down the driveway and collecting in the mouth of the garage causing the front of the slab to sink and crack.
Slab Jacks are Installed
The team used slab jacks to lift up the front of the slab to easily fill the void under the slab. This also helps set the height they would like to match for the driveway.
Cracks and Corners are Sealed
The team uses NexusPro to seal up the cracks in the slab.
Trench Drain is Installed
The team installed the Trench Drain.
Final Product
This is what the garage looks like after the slab was lifted and leveled, and the Trench Drain was installed.
