Is Water Collecting Next to the Side of Your House?
Have You Checked Your Patio or Driveway? You May Need Concrete Repair
One of the leading causes of foundation problems, and ultimately, foundation failure, is water collecting in areas around your house. If your patio or driveway is sloping toward your house, water can collect in those areas around your home. When this happens, water can enter your basement. Additionally, the pressure on your foundation increases. This can impact the structural integrity of your foundation and lead to costly repairs and potential foundation failure. One solution to consider is concrete leveling, using Polypier, ECP’s 2-part polyurethane product. Let’s look at the benefits of this type of concrete repair to see how it can work for you.
How Polypier Works in Concrete Repair
The process known as polyurethane concrete lifting incorporates ECP’s Polypier product. Polypier is an expanding high-density polyurethane foam that can be used for many applications. It is designed to raise and level sunken concrete. During the process, holes are evenly drilled around the concrete slab, and Polypier is injected through the holes underneath the entire slab. The slab is evenly raised to a level that no longer slopes toward your home, eliminating the risk of water pooling at your foundation.
The Benefits of Polypier Make it the Product of Choice
The main benefit of Polypier is that your concrete slab is now level, protecting your foundation and basement. However, there are additional benefits that make it the top choice for concrete repair projects:
- Easy to apply
- Cost-effective
- Scorch free processing
- Moisture-tolerant and resistant
- Exceptional inner layer adhesion
- Extremely comfortable
- Environmentally responsible
- Manufacturer support
- Durable and long-lasting
