Well I started out today with plans to try to level or raise the corner of a small concrete pad at the side door where we take the pups out. Each time it rains it would puddle up. The grass had grown over the edges of concrete so I scraped it all back and edged it thinking it would help with the drainage, but nope, it made things worse because now it is like a bowl with the grass/yard higher up on one corner than the pad. So I was going to try something I had seen people do with expandable foam, I was going to drill some holes and spray the foam in hopes that it would raise the pad flush with the house like it is supposed to be, had the hammer drill all ready to go. After I burned through a couple of masonry drill bits I gave up and hung some outside patio lights for Brooke.
So anyone ever jacked up a small concrete pad that has settled? The pad in question only needs to be raised about an inch on one corner. I figure once the corner is brought up to where it should be, the water should drain away from the house better. I've included a picture of what I am talking about.
Anyway, here are the lights I put up instead of what I wanted to do. Lol.
