Photo Album: Sinking Porch Raised and Leveled in Rincon, GA
Chris and Amy M. of Rincon, GA had a problem with their porch. Cracks appeared on the stucco walls and the front door threshold had dropped. The problem had even escalated to the window frames making popping noises! Chris and Amy wanted to maintain their property value so they researched concrete repair online and found Lowcountry Basement Systems. An inspector visited the home and recommended a custom solution of hydraulically installed slab piers, which are concealed from sight to support and stabilize falling sections, and PolyLevel; an expanding “geotechnical” foam that pushes the slab back towards its original position. Chris and Amy decided to have the work done and in just over a day their porch was back to level and the cracks sealed up on their own.

Galvanized steel slab piers
Galvanized steel slab piers are a below grade solution, and won't rust. They are driven through heavy-duty slab brackets to help lift sunk concrete.
