Concrete Leveling Process


Uneven concrete slabs can happen in your driveway, garage, pool deck, or any other area with concrete. Slabs can sink due to moisture content changes in the soil, soil erosion, and a multitude of other natural causes. And while it may seem like a big undertaking to have concrete repaired, our concrete leveling process is quick and minimally invasive.

Polyjacking

Concrete leveling involves a process called Polyjacking, or Polyurethane Foam Injection. Polyjacking is the state-of-the-art concrete repair solution, proven superior to earlier methods. First, we use a GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) to detect where the voids are beneath the concrete. Then, we inject high-density polyurethane foam into the concrete by drilling a small hole in the surface of the concrete. Once injected, the foam expands 20 times its liquid volume as it moves beneath the pavement, filling all voids along the way. As the foam moves and expands, it also contours to the size and shape of each void, ensuring 100% coverage.

Benefits of Polyjacking

In addition to how quick and simple this concrete leveling process is, there are also many other benefits to Polyjacking. Polyurethane foam has a fast curing time, so you will be able to use your concrete immediately after the repair is done! Polyjacking for concrete repair is much more cost-effective than replacing concrete altogether. It is also a much less disruptive process than previous methods. Below are a few more advantages of Polyjacking:

  • Up to 250 psi compressive & tensile strength
  • Will not shrink
  • Repels water
  • Lightweight: 125-250 pounds per yard will not overburden the soil
  • Used by DOTs for over 30 years on highways and bridge approaches.
  • Eco-Friendly
