Best in the Industry for Concrete Leveling

In today’s industry, one of the leading solutions for concrete leveling and repair is polymer foam. At Foundations on the Level, we use Accella Polyurethane Systems for their Low-Density Water Blown Spray Foam. This foam spray is developed to meet all slab raising needs while replacing existing blowing agents with zero ozone-depleting solvents. This makes the foam a highly desirable solution as a result due to its environmental friendliness. Accella has overcome a major industry problem by creating this highly stable water-blown spray foam

How Polyurethane Foam Works

In order to fix your slab and raise it back to its original position, Foundations on the Level will evaluate your slab to identify the areas that need the polymer foam applied. Your concrete leveling professional will drill a small hole in the concrete in that area and inject the polymer foam, causing the concrete to rise to its original level. To see this process in action, watch this video.

Polyurethane Injection to Raise Slabs

A sunken or uneven slab can cause problems ranging from being unsightly to being a tripping hazard to causing structural damage. In the past, many people would just tear up their old concrete and replace it with a new slab. Removing and replacing a slab is time-consuming, messy, and expensive. Also, it doesn’t take care of the problem that caused the concrete to sink in the first place. This is where polyurethane injection comes in.

FOUNDATIONS ON THE LEVEL uses polyurethane injections to raise your slab. This method takes less time, involves less labor, and costs less money than tearing up and replacing a concrete slab. In addition, it can take care of the underlying issues that caused the slab to settle.

A Durable Solution for a Sunken Slab

After inspecting your property for free, we’ll determine the cause of your sunken slab and provide you with an estimate for the best solution. If using the polymer foam is the best solution, the process will be completed quickly, with little disruption to your property.

Small holes are drilled into the concrete and the foam is injected beneath the concrete. The foam spreads out, filling any voids below the slab. Once the voids are filled, the foam will continue to expand, compressing any loose soil supporting the concrete. The foam is hydrophobic, so it won’t erode and will dispel any water it encounters. The foam also seals any cracks on the underside of the concrete. The slab is then lifted to within a fraction of inch of the desired height.

Once the slab is at the desired height, the equipment is removed and the holes are filled. The foam takes around 15 minutes to cure, so once everything is cleaned up, you can use the concrete surface like normal.

Benefits of Polyurethane Injection in Southern California

Polyurethane injection is a method used to fix concrete issues like slab settlement and crack formation. When used for slab leveling, the process begins with small holes being drilled in the concrete slab. The polyurethane material is then injected under the concrete through these holes. The polyurethane then expands, lifting the sinking slab and filling in spaces in the ground beneath to stabilize the concrete.
