Photo Album: Leveling and Truing a Porch and Steps with PolyLevel - Fishkill, NY
Basement Systems of New York was contacted by this homeowner to have us bring her steps and porch back to level and true. As you can see below her front steps and porch are unlevel, and leaning. These two issues were both an eyesore and a tremendous hazard to the homeowner and all that stepped foot on them.
To correct the problems at hand we had to strategically drill our 5/8th pilot holes throughout the steps and porch, we then implemented our PolyLevel system to make sure that we filled the voids properly to bring the stairs as level as we could to their concrete and to fill the voids that created the separation and leaning that was occurring. We then installed a small amount of concrete to offset for the remainder of leveling that needed to occur to make their stairs and concrete level, the little bit of truing that needed to occur could not be accomplished with more PolyLevel as the amount that needed to be finished was due to how the stairs were leaning.
By using these two methods of leveling we were able to bring the homeowners' porch and stairs back to level and true with their house and front yard. This ultimately has allowed them the ability to remove the humendous eyesore and hazard from their home and has allowed them to regain peace of mind about friends, family and other setting foot on their property.
