What To Do About Sinking Concrete
Aside from ruining the aesthetic appeal of your property, sinking concrete can also present safety and structural stability issues.
Polyjacking is often the most effective and efficient way of fixing concrete that’s started to sink.
Process For Concrete Leveling
Polyjacking, also known as mudjacking, is a fantastic way of leveling concrete because it’s cost-effective and minimally invasive. It involves lifting the sinking section and adding support to keep them there rather than ripping the whole thing up and replacing it.
Polyjacking: A Step-By-Step Guide
The process of polyjacking is relatively simple to understand. It involves just four main steps:
Step 1: Assessment
First, the team performing the repair will assess the extent of the sinking and identify the underlying cause. They’ll likely examine the soil composition and check for water drainage issues that may be making the problem worse.
Step 3: Injection of Polyurethane Foam
Next, a specialized polyurethane foam is put to work to do the heavy lifting. This foam is injected through the holes. The foam is designed to expand quickly and support heavy weights. This allows it to lift the concrete back to its original level. The foam hardens quickly, providing a strong and durable solution.
Step 2: Drilling Holes
Once they’ve determined a course of action, they’ll use that information to strategically mark areas of the concrete to have holes drilled in them. The holes will be used as entry points for lifting the concrete back into place.
Step 4: Sealing the Holes
Finally, the holes are filled with high-quality concrete that will restore the surface’s original appearance, concealing the fact that work was required. Then, the area is thoroughly cleaned to restore its original appearance.
