Assessment & Preparation

  • Technicians used a telepost area as the highest reference point.
  • The client removed vinyl plank flooring from the dining room and adjacent kitchen areas to allow direct access for injection points and to monitor the floor for hairline cracks.
  • Interior party wall between the kitchen and dining room was disconnected and removed.
  • All water lines, drain stacks, and gas lines were safely disconnected for optimal foam injection and slab lifting.
  • Kitchen appliances and most counters were temporarily relocated to ensure a smooth repair process.
  • A party wall between the pharmacy and restaurant kitchen was partially modified to accommodate changes in floor elevation after lifting.
