The concrete in and around your Kansas City home can become damaged due to the many changing weather conditions in Kansas City. It can also become damaged due to the type of soil that Kansas City has. The soil in Kansas City is expansive soil which means that when it becomes too wet it will heave and when the soil is dry it will shrink. This constant movement of the soil beneath your concrete will cause the concrete to shift and move causing cracking and unlevel concrete. Some of the most common places for concrete problems are:
- Garage floors
- Sidewalks
- Garage floors
- Steps
- Driveways
- Pool slabs
- Slab homes
- Patios
- Retaining walls
If you notice that your concrete is unlevel or is cracking anywhere around your home, let the professionals at Pro Foundation Technology come and inspect it and offer the best solution for your concrete repair needs.
Other causes of concrete cracks and unlevel concrete are:
- Soil erosion: Too much rain water saturates the soil and surrounds the concrete surface. The soil erodes away and creates voids under the slab.
- Tree roots: Tree roots can grow beneath the concrete surface. As they continue to grow, they push up the concrete surface. This causes an uneven or sunken concrete surface.
- Freeze/thaw cycles: Fluctuating temperatures and moisture levels can lead to sinking concrete surfaces.
Repairing concrete is much less costly than replacing concrete. Pro Foundation Technology has several solutions to get your concrete repaired in a more cost effective method.
Concrete Repair Solutions
Pro Foundation Technology uses the method of polyjacking to repair cracked and uneven concrete. Not only are concrete problems unsightly, but unlevel concrete is a tripping hazard and can lower the value of your home.
Polyjacking is the process of injecting high-density polyurethane foam beneath the concrete to fill the voids and bring the concrete back to its original level. This is done by injecting a small 5/8" hole into the concrete then injecting the polyurethane foam. This method has many advantages such as:
- Quick curing time
- Prevents settlement
- Seals cracks and joints
- Fills in voids
- No excavation
- Protects the structural integrity of the concrete
- Doesn't damage nearby structures
- Prevents freeze/thaw conditions
- Cost effective
- Extreme lifting capability
