Concrete Lifting and Leveling with Polyurethane
Are you experiencing sinking concrete slabs that are causing tripping hazards or uneven surfaces? Then our concrete lifting and leveling service will help you get your concrete back to grade quickly and cost-effectively.
Polyurethane slab jacking is a convenient, quick, and effective way to repair a variety of issues that cause concrete slabs to sink. In one application, polyurethane simultaneously fills voids, compacts and densifies soils, and levels the slab back to its original position. The process is long-lasting and will help stabilize soils against future erosion and settlement.
Benefits of Concrete Lifting and Leveling with Polyurethane:
- No excavation is required
- Injections can be made from within the pipe or from the surface
- Densifies and compacts soils
- Pushes away water from around the pipe
- Polyurethane is environmentally inert and will not leach chemicals into the water
- Seals joints against future leakage or inflow and infiltration
How Concrete Lifting and Leveling Works
Once injected, the polyurethane aggressively seeks out voids, like how water seeks the path of least resistance. After a few short minutes, the polymer reacts and begins to expand throughout the voids and the weak points in the soil. The polyurethane then begins to use expansive pressure to lift and level the concrete slab back to its original position.
Step 1
Polyurethane is injected into the void through the slab
Injections are made through 5/8′ holes that are drilled through the concrete slab.
Step 2
The material begins to expand and pack the void
Once injected, the polyurethane travels throughout the voids and expands up to 25 times its original volume through the soil.
Step 3
The polyurethane exerts upward force to lift the slab back to level
After filling voids, the polyurethane continues to expand, packing soils. The polyurethane begins exerting upward force to lift the slab back to grade.
Why Our Polyurethane Solutions Work
Our polyjacking process is ideal for concrete raising. Concrete lifting with polyurethane foam is cheaper than concrete replacement. Polyjacking is a reliable process used for years by many concrete leveling contractors.
Our polymer injection application is a no excavation rocking slab stabilization solution, allowing for minimal impact to your structure. Our project footprint is minimal, requiring a small trailer, a hose running from the trailer, and small 5/8″ holes that are drilled through the structure to give us access to drive our rods to target locations and inject our high-density polyurethane.
We use polyurethanes that are light-weight, reducing added weight to the area. This is a major advantage because often times treatment is required because a structure’s weight is too much for the geology of the area.
Our polymers set up to 95% capacity within 15 minutes, unlike other solutions which require 24-48 hours and ideal soil conditions. After 15 minutes, the material can be driven on and take on heavy loads
Our polymers are environmentally inert and have no impact to the environment or groundwater.
Not only is our process the fastest and most effective foundation and slab lifting application, but it is the most cost-effective too.
