Your Leading Skagit County, WA Wet Basement & Structural Repair Company

A Lynnwood homeowner had watched her front porch sink for years, uncertain of what to do. The problem got so bad the pillar to her roof had a gap of at least five inches! The step from the front door down to their porch had gotten so big it was a hazard. They deemed the porch unusable, until they heard about PolyLEVEL and Matvey Foundation Repair. After getting a detailed estimate, she decided to have us do the work. The crew used a hydraulic jack to lift the heavy concrete stoop back into place, since it had rotated away from the home in two different directions. Once the crew lifted it with the jack, they free-sprayed PolyLEVEL foam to hold the slab in place. 

The homeowner mentioned how sturdy her porch felt after the crew was finished and told us she would finally be able to use the outdoor space once again.

A homeowner in Ferndale attempted to lift his settling garage corner by himself several years ago, but the band-aid fix failed, and the corner started to settle even more. The back door to the yard was sticking, his window wouldn't glide open, and even the deck attached to the garage was being pulled down in one spot. Frustrated and unsure of what to do, he got a quote from Matvey. The worst part of the settlement was down close to four inches. We came up with a fix of four Push Piers and Polylevel to stabilize the remaining part of the garage. 

The crew worked hard to install the four push piers through the garage slab, since installing them from the outside wasn't an option due to the asphalt driveway, and deck attached to the back of the home. They were surprised to find the concrete slab was 18 inches thick, which slowed the job down a little due to concrete removal of such a hearty slab, but once they were through it was an easy lift. With the push piers installed and hoisted up, the Polylevel crew could then come though and inject the foam under the remaining pieces of the slab. The finishing touches were sealing all the concrete cracks that had occurred because of the settlement.
