Location: Floral Park, NY
Service Areas: Sill Plate Replacement and Concrete Step Crack Repair
Problem
A homeowner in Floral Park, NY, reached out to Zavza Seal LLC due to structural concerns affecting both the sill plate beneath their floor system and visible cracking in their exterior concrete steps. The sill plate had deteriorated over time, leading to an uneven floor and structural instability. Additionally, cracks in the concrete steps were widening and posed a safety risk. Both issues required prompt and professional structural repair to restore the safety and integrity of the home.
Solution
Zavza Seal LLC provided a tailored, two-phase approach to address both the sill plate and concrete step concerns.
Phase 1: Sill Plate Replacement (Approx. 6 Linear Feet)
- Our team began by jacking the ceiling joists along the entire affected length to safely raise the floor and relieve pressure from the deteriorated sill plate.
- We then removed all damaged and rotted lumber from the sill area.
- A new pressure-treated double plate was installed to provide long-term durability and resistance against moisture and insects.
- To complete the repair, we installed a 2×2 sill plate to firmly secure the structure and reestablish proper floor support.
Phase 2: Concrete Step Repair and Crack Stabilization
- We chased and ground the surface of the cracked concrete steps using a diamond blade to prepare the area for structural reinforcement.
- The team cut into the concrete at specified intervals and installed carbon fiber stitches embedded in carbon epoxy. This technique helps restore the tensile strength across the crack, improves load distribution, and prevents the crack from expanding further.
- After reinforcing the structure, we applied a fine-cement parging coat over the repaired area.
- The parging was completed with a fine brush finish, providing a clean and cohesive appearance that blended with the original steps.
Outcome
The homeowner in Floral Park, NY, now has a home that is structurally reinforced and visually restored. Key benefits of the repair include:
- Stabilized flooring system supported by a new pressure-treated sill plate
- Prevention of future structural damage from moisture or decay
- Concrete steps restored with carbon fiber reinforcement, eliminating safety hazards
- A smooth and durable surface finish that enhances curb appeal
The client was pleased with the seamless integration of structural durability and aesthetic finish.
