Two factors were leading this concrete patio in Plymouth, MA to sink and settle. First, the soil beneath the concrete was eroding way due to rain water flowing through. Second, the weight of the hot tub was adding extra pressure to the slab. The with slab unsupported beneath and the extra weight of the tub, the concrete patio began to sink, crack, and settle. The homeowner was worried this would eventually also cause their retaining wall to bow out or completely collapse.
Our team filled the voids beneath the concrete with PolyLevel, which successfully lifted and stabilized the slab. This polymer material is incredibly strong and will have no issues supporting the weight of the hot tub. With the voids filled and the concrete properly supported, there is no longer any risk of the retaining wall failing. Rather than replace all the concrete and having to rebuild the retaining wall, this was a cost effective, ideal solution for the homeowner and provided them with much needed peace of mind.
