This porch had settled over the course of several years.  This homeowner was ready to sell their home but a home inspector noticed the sinking slab and recognized it as a tripping hazard.  The Vesta Foundation solutions came in on a Saturday just in time for closing and was able to get everything back in order. 

In many cases, an elevated pool has soil pressures that push the walls out and away from the home.  This movement causes cracks to form and the walls to tip over.  Vesta will install a deadman system anchor in many cases but the pool can create a problem with these designs. In this case, the Vesta team installed steel bracing that is welded in place.  These designs are engineered to support the weight of the pool and walls.  By installing this the walls are permanently stabilized and holding the weight of the pool and all the family members over enjoying a Sunday barbecue. 

These Oklahoma City homeowners were experiencing concrete issues. Their back porch was sinking due to their dog digging out the dirt from underneath the porch. This large void caused the porch to sink significantly. After doing research, they decided to give Vesta Foundation Solutions a call.

Our System Design Specialist, Josh Nation, went and evaluated the situation. His conclusion was that they would need PolyLevel to lift and raise the porch to its original position. Now that there was a plan, Jeff Peck and his production team got started on the job.

The PolyLevel injection is cost-effective and noninvasive. Team Vesta was able to lift the porch back to its original position with ease and no complications. 

Our production team lifted and leveled the corner of this driveways slab, the area had sunk down approximately an inch.

After the lift, we applied Nexus Pro to the area to seal the cracks and joints. The Nexus Pro system contracts and retracts as the slab swells and shrinks to help avoid peeling or tearing. 

Once the area is sealed it will prevent moisture from entering the area and causing any further damage! 

The Vesta Team spent three days sealing up and shoring the moist crawl space for this 1920's home near the UNiversity of Oklahoma.  The crawl space was full of on going moisture, dampness, mold growth and other structural problems.  The wood beams were sinking and the customer experienced cracks in the mainlevel portion of their home.
