Reliable Foundations serving Harvey, LA

Reliable Foundations recently completed a driveway leveling job for a homeowner in Harvey, LA. The homeowner had noticed uneven sections in their driveway, which had become a safety hazard and an eyesore. The settling was causing cracks and uneven surfaces that made it difficult to navigate with both vehicles and foot traffic.

After a thorough assessment, Reliable Foundations recommended using PolyLevel technology to lift and level the driveway. This innovative solution involved injecting high-density polyurethane foam under the sunken slabs. The foam expanded, lifting the concrete back to its original position.

The entire process was completed in just a few hours with minimal disruption to the homeowner’s daily routine. The driveway was ready for use almost immediately, with the homeowner pleased with the quick, clean, and effective results. Thanks to PolyLevel, the driveway is now level, safe, and aesthetically pleasing again, providing peace of mind and increased curb appeal for the property.

We met with this customer in Harvey, LA, to inspect a sinking slab. We started with a comprehensive evaluation to determine the cause of the sinking, such as poor soil conditions, water infiltration, or foundation damage. We determined in order to stabilize the foundation we would need to install push piers or helical piers, which involves driving these piers deep into the ground until they reach stable soil or bedrock. The slab would then be lifted back to its original level using hydraulic jacks or by hand digging and tunneling. Additionally, we would have implemented drainage solutions, such as French drains or proper grading, to prevent water from accumulating around the foundation. This approach would have ensured the slab's stability and prevented future settling.
