Concrete Lifting – The Best Solution For Sunken Concrete
A common issue faced by homeowners is sunken concrete. This can be due to soil erosion, improper compaction, or even poor initial installation. Fortunately, professional concrete lifting can help level outdoor surfaces such as driveways, sidewalks, patios, and more. This process can be much quicker and more cost-effective than replacing the slabs, and can prevent safety hazards like tripping or catching wheels on scooters and bicycles.
Traditional concrete lifting of concrete lifting (also known as mud jacking) involve drilling large holes into the concrete, pumping a cement or slurry mixture beneath the slab, and filling voids in order to lift the slab back up. However, these types of methods can be very messy and require significant cleanup once the job is complete. Plus, the holes left behind can be difficult to patch and blend in with existing concrete.
Concrete Lifting vs. Replacement: Why Lifting Is the Smarter Choice
Another method of concrete lifting, called polyjacking or foam concrete lifting, involves using lightweight and extremely strong polyurethane injection to raise sunken concrete slabs. Unlike traditional methods, which can worsen sinking, polyjacking uses a low-pressure application to avoid damaging the concrete further. Instead of mud, a polyurethane mixture is injected through tiny, strategically placed holes that are drilled into the concrete surface. The polyurethane then expands throughout the void space and lifting the slabs.
