What Concrete Lifting Does For You
Dealing with foundation problems can be stressful. Fortunately, innovative and noninvasive solutions are available to address these issues effectively. One such approach is polyurethane concrete lifting, which is a popular choice for restoring the stability of uneven or sinking concrete slabs. At American Standard Foundation Repair, we specialize in this advanced solution to help homeowners protect their properties and avoid expensive repairs.
How Polyurethane Concrete Lifting Works
Polyurethane concrete lifting, commonly referred to as foam jacking or polyjacking, is a method that involves injecting lightweight, expanding polyurethane foam beneath sunken or uneven concrete slabs. The process typically follows these steps:
- Assessment: The area of the sinking slab is thoroughly inspected to assess the damage’s extent and determine the required amount of lifting necessary for repairs. Inspectors carefully evaluate the surface for cracks, unevenness, and other signs of deterioration to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the situation.
- Small Injection Holes: Small holes, roughly the size of a penny, are carefully drilled into the surface of the affected concrete slab. These access points allow for the injection of polyurethane foam, which expands to fill voids beneath the slab, helping to stabilize and support it.
- Injection of Polyurethane Foam: A specialized two-part polyurethane material is carefully injected into the prepared holes. As the foam expands, it fills the voids beneath the slab, gently lifting it back to its original position. This rapid expansion occurs, allowing the foam to fill all gaps effectively. Once it hardens, the foam provides strong, solid, and long-lasting support, ensuring the stability and integrity of the slab for years to come.
- Finishing: Once the slab has been carefully leveled, the injection holes are sealed to prevent leaks. The surrounding area is then thoroughly cleaned, ensuring that all debris and residue are removed. This process leaves the concrete surface looking pristine, fully restored, and ready for use.
How Polyurethane Concrete Lifting Solves Foundation Issues
Polyurethane concrete lifting addresses common foundation issues caused by soil movement or erosion beneath your home. Here are the ways that polyurethane concrete lifting helps:
- Restores Structural Integrity: A sinking or uneven slab can significantly compromise the structural integrity of your home or driveway, leading to a range of serious issues. When a slab is not level, it can result in cracks, leaks, and even collapse over time. By lifting the slab back to its proper position, you restore stability and prevent further deterioration and unsightly damage. This proactive measure ensures a safer environment, reducing potential hazards affecting occupants and visitors. Keeping your surfaces level is essential for maintaining your property’s aesthetic and functional aspects.
- Addresses Erosion and Voids: Erosion and the formation of voids beneath your concrete can create significant issues, resulting in uneven settling that compromises stability and leads to unsightly cracks. When these voids are present, your concrete surfaces may shift or sag, creating both safety hazards and aesthetic concerns. Polyurethane foam offers an effective solution by expanding to fill these empty spaces. This lightweight yet extremely strong material forms a solid foundation that reinforces your concrete. By providing a more stable and durable base, polyurethane foam helps prevent further movement and ultimately prolongs the lifespan of your concrete surfaces.
- Cost-Effective and Quick: Polyurethane lifting is a highly cost-effective and efficient alternative to total slab replacement, which often requires significant time and financial investment. Concrete lifting provides the same level of durability and strength as new concrete while minimizing disruption and extensive labor typically associated with concrete replacement.
- Prevents Future Damage: By promptly addressing foundation issues through polyurethane concrete lifting, homeowners can effectively prevent more significant damage down the line. This proactive approach protects the property’s structural integrity and avoids costly and complex repairs that can arise from neglecting these issues. Early intervention helps maintain the foundation’s stability, protecting the entire home from potential complications.
