Residential Foam Injection Leveling
Why Leveling
Water collection, ponding or birdbaths: As concrete settles water may collect after area rains. This collection is a breading ground for mosquitos and can allow algae growth creating slip and fall hazards.
Insurance companies and HOA’s will require repairs of uneven concrete surfaces to limit personal injury liabilities and maintain appearances on residential properties. If you receive a HOA or Insurance citation for your raised sidewalk or driveway call or email us for a free estimate. Your sidewalk will pass re-inspection Guaranteed! Our friendly, experienced staff will help you with any project.
Common Areas Leveled:
– Sidewalks – Driveways
– Walkways – Patios
– Pool Decks – Front/back Porch
– Shed Foundation – Garage Foundation
Please note foundation repair will only be preformed under direct instruction of a Texas Certified Public Engineer qualified to calculate and illustrate hole location and amount of material needed.
What kind of material do you use to raise concrete?
Polyurethane foam concrete raising material is injected as a liquid that sets-up as a rigid foam. This foam will NEVER loose density or shrink. This material is lighter than traditional mudjacking material, and requires less holes to install. Even better, the holes are smaller creating a virtually invisible repair!
Will there be heavy trucks on my lawn?
No, using polyurethane to repair your concrete, a hose is ran straight from the truck/trailer to the repair site without driving a single piece of equipment on your lawn.
How do you fill the holes?
When concrete is raised with polyurethane foam, plugs are not needed. The material used for raising the slab replaces the inserted foam plug as a shock absorber. A small amount of cement is used to cap the hole.
Is there any maintenance needed?
When our work is completed, it will be your responsibility to caulk the seams of the sections that were repaired, or backfill against any exposed areas to contain the material, and prevent future sinking. Self-leveling cement caulk can be purchased easily at a home improvement store and works great for sealing joints. Using a silicone based, self-leveling caulk, is recommended. If a crack is very large, to use less material, sand can be used first between the crack, before applying the caulk on top. Preventing water from going under the slab is key to preserving the repaired slab. Make sure that your downspouts are correctly placed, to assure water runs away from your concrete slabs or foundation.
What concrete can be raised?
Solid slabs of concrete can be raise and stabilized. Gravel areas or blacktop are unable to be repaired, and need to be replaced or re-installed to remedy settling issues. Slabs of concrete that are badly cracked may also be too damaged to lift.
