Over time, concrete around your home or business can start to sink. This is the result of soil erosion, settling and poor compaction. This means that if space forms between concrete and soil, it will likely start to sink down. Sinking concrete creates a safety hazard and ruins the aesthetic of walkways, concrete patios and driveways. Polyurethane foam concrete lifting is a cost-effective solution!
In this article, Poly Boss Inc. in Calgary shares some of the most frequently asked questions about polyurethane foam concrete lifting. You’ll also learn more about how this affordable solution can fix sunken concrete.
Should you replace or raise your sunken concrete?
Does the top surface of your concrete still look good? If the answer is yes, then lifting is an option! On the other hand, if your concrete surface has many cracks and broken pieces, you will most likely need to replace your concrete.
What’s the difference between polyurethane slab jacking and mudjacking?
There are different ways to raise your concrete slabs. With mudjacking, a contractor will drill many large holes to raise your concrete. However, when you use slab jacking with polyurethane foam (also known as foam jacking), your contractor will inject this lightweight foam through small holes to lift the concrete. Also, with mudjacking, a contractor will use a mixture of clay, sand and, in some cases, cement to lift concrete instead of a light foam. These materials are much heavier and can cause further sinking down the road.
At Poly Boss Inc., they use polyurethane foam to lift concrete. This lightweight method is simple, cost-effective and won’t encourage further sinking.
How will my concrete look when lifting is complete?
When you level your concrete, your concrete’s cracks will be significantly less visible. As a result, your overall exterior aesthetic will improve dramatically. Moreover, with cracks gone, this will also take care of tripping hazards. You’ll also remove the risk of water pooling in areas with cracks, which could damage your home’s foundation.
Is slab jacking with polyurethane a temporary solution?
No! When you use high-quality polyurethane foam to lift your concrete, you have a permanent fix. At Poly Boss Inc., they use only top-quality polyurethane foam! This means your slab jacking will last, and you won’t have to worry about sunken concrete in areas that have been treated.
What’s the cost of concrete lifting compared to replacing concrete?
When you choose polyurethane foam to raise your concrete with Poly Boss Inc., it will be about a quarter to a third of the cost of replacing your concrete.
