Concrete Leveling

Concrete raising is a fantastic alternative to replacing your concrete, eliminating downtime! Some common areas we raise, level, and repair are patios, front porches, driveways, sidewalks, garage & parking slabs, steps, and pool decks.

The process for concrete raising simply put…drilling a 3/8” hole and injecting the polyurethane foam material. The foam is a dual component polyurethane foam, so as the two components meet under the slab, a mixture begins, and an exothermic reaction turns the two liquids into a foam. The foam will fill in voids and crevices down to the size of a pencil. (Often times these will be caused by decomposed roots/stumps, snakes, moles, pets, etc.) After the desired results are reached, the injection holes will be filled with a cementitious mixture leaving a barely noticeable patch when dried.

This is a quicker, more cost-effective choice. When compared to concrete replacement, the process of raising concrete often saves money as well as being exponentially faster than replacing concrete. Repaired areas are ready within minutes to be utilized, allowing your home or business to continue running with little interruption.

Void Filling

Concrete settling is not the only issue our foams can solve. Voids under slabs are often present in areas where wash out or excessive settling have occurred. This material is extremely lightweight, eliminating extra weight from outdated repair alternatives on an already failed subgrade.

The process for void filling is the same as concrete raising: drilling a 3/8” hole and injecting the polyurethane foam material. The foam is a dual component polyurethane foam, so as the two components meet under the slab, a mixture begins, and an exothermic reaction turns the two liquids into a foam. The foam will fill in voids and crevices down to the size of a pencil. Often these will be caused by decomposed roots/stumps, snakes, moles, pets, etc. After the desired results are reached, the injection holes will be filled with a cementitious mixture leaving a barely noticeable patch when dried.

Joint / Slab Stabilization

Slab stabilization is often required when slabs lack support even when they don’t appear to be settled. A cracked slab is generally caused by unstable soil and excessive weight load.  Foam injection will eliminate movement by supporting the slab from below, by compacting the subgrade and filling in voids in the compromised area.
