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.
Uneven or cracked sidewalks, driveways, and other concrete areas can be uneasy looking and dangerous. Fixing them the old-fashioned way can be expensive and take a lot of time. Luckily, there’s a better and cheaper option: concrete leveling with foam.
Concrete leveling with foam, also called slab jacking or polyurethane foam injection, is a method where high-density foam is injected under sunken concrete slabs to lift and stabilize them.
This method has become popular because it offers many advantages over traditional concrete replacement.
Let’s see how this new method can save you money and time.
The Process of Concrete Leveling with Foam
Initial Assessment
Every successful project starts with a careful check. Our experts will look at your concrete surfaces to see how bad the damage is and figure out the best way to fix it.
Preparing the Slab
If possible, we level the slab using jacks before injecting the foam.
Before the foam injection, we seal any visible cracks with a cement patcher.
This step is crucial to prevent the foam from escaping through the cracks during the injection process.
Foam Injection
Holes are drilled into the concrete slab at specific points. High-density polyurethane foam is injected through these holes, filling any gaps and lifting the slab to its original position.
Final Touches
Once the slab is leveled, the holes used for injection are patched. Any remaining cracks are then filled with grout and polished to create a smooth, durable surface.
Case Study: Successful Sidewalk Repair
We recently worked on a residential sidewalk that had become uneven because of soil erosion. The entire process took only a few hours, and the homeowner could use the sidewalk the same day. The results were both visually appealing and structurally sound.
Why Choose Foam Injection Over Concrete Replacement?
Cost-Effective
Replacing concrete can be costly due to labor, materials, and time. Concrete jacking with foam is much cheaper and provides durable results.
Minimal Disruption
The foam injection process is fast and tidy, enabling you to use the repaired surfaces almost right away. This is especially useful for areas with heavy foot traffic.
Eco-Friendly
Our foam materials are eco-friendly, minimizing waste and supporting sustainability.
We look forward to working with you!
