Discover the Advantages of Concrete Leveling with Foam and Professional Sidewalk, Driveway, and Patio Repair. Learn How to Avoid the High Costs of Concrete Replacement with Our Efficient and Durable Solutions.
As a property owner or municipal official responsible for maintaining parks, roads, and sidewalks, you know the importance of keeping concrete surfaces in good condition.
Uneven or cracked sidewalks, driveways, and other concrete areas not only look unsightly but also pose safety hazards. Traditional concrete replacement can be costly and time-consuming.
Fortunately, there’s a more efficient and cost-effective solution: concrete leveling with foam.
Concrete leveling with foam, also known as slab jacking or polyurethane foam injection, involves raising and stabilizing sunken concrete slabs by injecting a high-density foam beneath them.
This method has gained popularity due to its numerous benefits over traditional concrete replacement.
Let’s dive into how this innovative technique can save you money and time.
The Process of Concrete Leveling with Foam
Initial Assessment
Every successful project begins with a thorough assessment. Our experts will inspect your concrete surfaces to determine the extent of the damage and the best approach for repair.
Preparing the Slab
If possible, we level the slab using jacks before injecting the foam.
Before the foam injection, we ensure any visible cracks are sealed using a cement patcher.
This step is crucial to prevent the foam from escaping through the cracks during the injection process.
Foam Injection
Small, strategically placed holes are drilled into the affected concrete slab. High-density polyurethane foam is then injected through these holes, filling voids and raising the slab back to its original level.
Final Touches
After the slab is leveled, the injection holes are patched, and any remaining cracks are grouted and polished to ensure a smooth and durable finish.
Case Study: Successful Sidewalk Repair
One of our recent projects involved a residential sidewalk that had become uneven due to soil erosion.
The entire process took just a few hours, and the homeowner was able to use the sidewalk the same day.
The results were both aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound.
Why Choose Foam Injection Over Concrete Replacement?
Cost-Effective
Replacing concrete can be expensive, involving labor, materials, and time. Concrete jacking with foam is a fraction of the cost and delivers long-lasting results.
Minimal Disruption
The foam injection process is quick and clean, allowing you to use the repaired surfaces almost immediately. This is particularly beneficial for high-traffic areas.
Eco-Friendly
Our foam materials are environmentally friendly, reducing waste and promoting sustainability.
