Concrete Repair, Patio Leveling & Stabilization in Kelso, WA

Kelso Homeowners Concerned About Their Cracked Patio

Having moved into their beautiful Kelso, Washington home, selected for its stunning Columbia River views, friendly neighborhood ambiance, and proximity to Vancouver, this family began thoroughly enjoying their outdoor backyard patio from the very beginning.

But within a mere 18 months, they found their patio concrete cracking and settling unevenly, which raised safety concerns and destroyed their outside living area. Fearing it could be the indication of more extensive foundation problems, they asked TerraFirma to give them a comprehensive evaluation and free onsite consultation.

Following are some of the facts which Kelso family learned about concrete patio repair by TerraFirma:

1. Shifting Soil is Common in Longview

These Columbia River soils are famous for water content fluctuations, wet winters and warm summers result in the soil expanding and shrinking, which usually makes the concrete move and crack. Such shifting dirt does not necessarily equate to disastrous foundation damage but forms uneven patios and walkways.

2. TerraFirma’s PolyLevel® Lifts and Stabilizes

Using high-density polyurethane foam, TerraFirma’s PolyLevel process not only lifts the settled concrete, it fills spaces below and stabilizes the ground to avoid future settling. This minimally invasive foam injection technique leaves the original concrete slab intact.

3. Cost-Saving Repair Instead of Replacement

The family was happy to discover that TerraFirma’s solution cost a fraction of what patio replacement would cost. Multiple contractor quotes to demo and repour the patio were three times more expensive than the TerraFirma solution.

4. Included SealantPro® to Protect Their Patio Long-Term

With money in their pocket, the homeowners opted for SealantPro® treatment, a revolutionary sealing system that is specifically formulated to protect concrete from cracking, flaking, and staining. Today, their patio is silky smooth and still bright and new season after season.

The total project ended up being a much cheaper fix that they initially feared!
