Benefits of Polyurethane Concrete Leveling

Why Choose Polyurethane Concrete Leveling?

The benefits of poly concrete leveling are endless. So here’s a question: why choose polyurethane? Consider this: if you have a cracked slab or an unlevel driveway and could avoid replacing the entire area, would you prefer this? Most homeowners would say yes. Poly concrete leveling is a quick and effective method to resolve extensive concrete issues without tearing down the entire foundation. With this said, what can a homeowner expect from this process?

Process Breakdown

At first, small holes are punctured in the slab that has started to settle. More importantly, the holes must be properly spaced. If not, the concrete will weaken. Then, the polyurethane is injected through small openings into the gaps below. Once injected, the poly cream material expands, compacting the soil around the spaces it fills. This creates a solid base for the entire foundation, allowing it to expand back to its proper level. Finally, the holes are filled, and the site becomes secure again. This process is efficient because the polyurethane hardens quickly. Consequently, this allows the regular use of the foundation 20 minutes after application.

6 Benefits of Polyurethane Concrete Leveling

In addition to the quick, efficient process, there are six other benefits of poly concrete leveling.

1. Lasting Results: Because it works to fix the root cause of any sinking slab, polypiering is a more effective lifting method as it prevents future problems.
2. Quality Application:  Polyurethane material is a lightweight, cream-like product. It only weighs about 3-5 pounds. This makes the process much simpler for those handling the material.
3. Moisture Tolerant and Resistant: Using polyurethane seals the bottom of the foundation to lock out water seepage and prevents future erosion.
4. Effective Solutions: After the injection process, the foundation of your home can be raised back to its proper location.
5. Quiet Process: Because it requires minimal equipment and time, this process is less noisy and less destructive compared to traditional concrete removal and replacement.
6. Lower Overhead Costs: Fixing the problems beneath your slab is significantly cheaper than tearing out the old concrete, which is more invasive and requires replacing it with a new foundation.
