Concrete Repair Photo Album: Sloping Concrete Floor Repair in Garner, NC

Our concrete repair team recently assisted a local fire department with a sloping floor issue that prevented their bay doors from fully closing—a critical safety concern for these everyday heroes and their fire engines. Using our PolyLevel system, we were able to stabilize and lift the floor, restoring functionality and ensuring a level surface for their operations. PolyLevel is a high-density polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to provide precise lifting and stabilization. This innovative solution is lightweight, durable, and minimally invasive, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like fire station bays. With the floor now stabilized, the department can operate with confidence, knowing their equipment and facility are secure.

Sloping Floors

These sloping floors led to small cracks to form and bay doors that wouldn't close all the way.

Checking Floors With Level

During an assessment, a level is used on the floor to identify uneven areas, measure the extent of sloping, and determine the underlying cause. This helps in planning the appropriate repair solution to restore stability and functionality.

Bay Doors Unable to Close

The bay doors wouldn't close because the sloping floor created an uneven surface, preventing the doors from aligning properly with their tracks or frame. This misalignment can cause operational issues and compromise safety, so it was important for our crew to ensure this department had level and stable floors again!

PolyLevel Injection

The PolyLevel system was injected through small holes drilled into the concrete slab. The high-density polyurethane foam was then pumped beneath the surface, expanding to fill voids, stabilize the soil, and lift the floor to a level position. Once the foam cured, the holes were patched, leaving a durable and stable surface.
