Your Dependable Potter County, TX Concrete Lifting & Foundation Repair Experts

Mike W. had a Gladstone patio that was laid in concrete and grouted together. Three sides were surrounded by house. The 50 foot side against the house was sinking 2-3 inches and allowed water to stand and drain under the house.

As we began concrete repair on the slab, we realized that rebar had not been used to reinforce the concrete. The concrete began lifting in sections instead of a solid slab. With precision lifts, the crew worked the "puzzle" of concrete and gladstone, being careful to work between the stone and not break any of it, until the concrete was once again the same level and raised 2-3 inches near the house. The joints near the home were then sealed so that water could not drain under the house. 

The very next day after the lift, it rained 1/2" in Amarillo. The "after" photo was within 15 minutes after it stopped raining. Now water drains away from the house and standing water is no longer an issue.

Background: This home had an original patio on the back of the house for many years. The previous homeowners decided to close in the patio and create more square footage. 

Current: The now current homeowners started noticing cracks in the concrete and the back of the room was lower than the front. The homeowner was very concerned about needing foundation repair. After a thorough inspection, our Specialist realized that the now enclosed patio did not have a footer and the sheer weight of the roof, brick, etc. was too heavy for the slab without a footer. 

Our Solution: Being that the homeowner wanted new brick, our Production Crew removed the brick from the enclosed patio and removed existing sidewalks around the area. They then lifted and stabilized the entire room with our patented PolyLevel. To add even more stabilization and to create a solid foundation, our crew then dug out under and around the exterior to pour and create a new footer. (that was missing in the first place). Afterward, the crew poured new sidewalks around the enclosed patio. 

The homeowner was very happy that they could lay new hardwood floors and not worry about future settlement. We are happy that we could provide a create yet superior solution for sinking concrete and foundation repair!

Issue: Mr. Clayton called us out because the corner of his home was sinking. In fact, the window brick ledge had broken and a large gap had developed between the window and the brick. When the Specialist arrived, he noticed that the living room carpet was also pulled back from the same corner of the sunken living room. Because of this settlement, water had begun seeping into the sunken living room from the window and near the footer of the slab. 

Solution: The Specialist determined that the homeowner needed a few galvanized push piers to lift the exterior corner of the house and that waterproofing would stop the moisture from entering the sunken living room. The crew installed the push piers and lifted the home back into near original condition. While the dirt was excavated, they applied a waterproofing membrane to both the interior and exterior concrete of the sunken living room. The very next day after the membrane was applied and still excavated/exposed to weather elements, it rained very hard. The excavated holes were filled with water but NOW the sunken living room remained dry!

Results:The home was lifted, the brick and the gap near the window were closed and any remaining cracks were filled. The sunken living room now remains dry and the family was able to get new flooring in their living room!

This home in the Wolflin neighborhood in Amarillo had a front porch stoop that was sinking about 2 inches. The owners had added sealant to help hide the gap and sinking.

Our crew removed the old caulking agent and lifted the front porch stoop back to its original position. They then resealed the joint between the stoop and the house/front door. While they were there they also smoothed out and area of sidewalk that was cracking and eroding. 

Mr Howe contacted Legacy Supportwowrks for possible erosion issues with his driveway. After looking at his concern, our specialist and the customer decided the concrete protection system would be the best solution. This protection package is a three step process. First using our patented PolyLevel to stabilize the concrete, next using NexusPro to seal the joints and lastly using SealantPro to protect the concrete from any future erosion. 

The concrete protection system is a great preventative option that will help from any future concrete issues such as erosion, or unlevling.
