This homeowner has lived in their split-level home since it was built in 1966, making it a place filled with memories and significance. Over time, however, they began noticing signs of settling in the front porch, a problem that could only grow worse with time. Concerned about safety and wanting to protect the home’s value, they reached out to TerraFirma for a professional assessment.

System Design Specialist Mark Spandler conducted a thorough evaluation of the property and confirmed the homeowner’s observations. The front porch had indeed settled about one inch due to shifting soils beneath the slab—a common issue for homes of this age. After discussing the homeowner’s concerns, Mark recommended TerraFirma’s Concrete Leveling solutions, specifically the use of PolyLevel to lift the sunken areas. This advanced polymer injection method would provide a strong, yet lightweight lift that’s minimally invasive compared to traditional methods. To further protect the concrete from future damage, he also suggested using NexusPro, a durable crack repair solution, to seal and reinforce the cracks.

With a clear plan in place, Foreman Robert Marciniak and his experienced crew took on the project. They carefully drilled small holes in strategic areas of the porch and injected PolyLevel to gradually and precisely raise the settled sections. Next, they applied NexusPro to fill and seal the visible cracks, creating a watertight barrier that would protect against future wear and tear. By the end of the day, the homeowner’s front porch was fully restored, leveled, and secured for years to come.

Thanks to TerraFirma’s expertise and attention to detail, this long-standing homeowner could enjoy a safe, stable front porch once again, confident that their home was well-protected and ready to withstand the test of time.
