A homeowner in Dalton, GA, noticed a nearly 1-inch sink in his sidewalk after heavy rainfall. Over time, he noticed it getting worse, with additional cracks appearing elsewhere. After scheduling an appointment, one of our home inspectors visited and identified the cause: poor soil compacting and washout from recent heavy rainfall. Thankfully, we provided a prompt solution using our innovative PolyLyft method. PolyLyft elevates and levels surfaces by injecting expanding foam beneath the affected area, gently raising the sunken slab back to its original position.

With PolyLift, our crew was able to restore the original height of the sidewalk. We can measure this accurately by adjusting the amount of PolyLift injected
