A settlement can cause even long cracks like this one which we prefer to call Stair-step crack,. A settlement usually happens when the house got built over the clay soil, and there is not enough moisture exposure to the clay, leaving the walls over unstable ground.

Eventually, the clay soil will contract and leave an unwanted space. The space between the clay and the floor will potentially make the ground settle and sometimes even crack.

PolyLevel®

The best settlement solution is our PolyLevel® System service because it directly attacks the problem, which is the contraction of the clay. PolyLevel® is a specially engineered foam material designed to fulfill all the spaces between the soil and your floor. The benefits of the PolyLevel® System Repair are that it will fully expand and solidify in 15 minutes and will sustain your floor such; as Atlas.

PolyLevel® Goal

In this step of the PolyLevel® system our heroes made holes in all the affected areas to slowly and gradually inject the foam material into the spaces between the soil and the floor.

MoistureLevel®

On the other hand, a single house can be a victim of 2 or even more foundation problems. For example, in this home, there is a settlement and heaving problem. A heave problem is the opposite of a settlement; this happens when clay gets too much exposure to moisture, causing the clay to expand and push the floor up. Our heroes will use this rooftop to conduct all the evaporated moisture to the outside of the house. Leveling the moisture level to an adequate number will help clay get stable and not cause any drastic damage.

MoistureLevel® Purpose

Our professionals will install the system from the bottom of the house to the top of the roof, driving all the moisture particles outside and away from the house.

If the concrete changed its PH, it will become more acidic and will cause the rebar to get oxidized. By the time the Stem wall failure signs become visible, it means it is a little late, and the is a high probability of having to replace the whole rebar and the concrete as well. Thanks to NeveRust™, this family will not face any more stem wall problems
