Why and when concrete Should be repaired
Concrete is used to enhance the quality of our lives through sidewalks, driveways, patios, pool decks and floors. It is used because it is durable, strong, conforming, and aesthetically pleasing. However,concrete will move gradually and settle as a result of changing soil compositions. As the concrete settles cracks develop causing uneven slabs resulting in pooling water, trip hazards and structural failure. Improper installation of concrete, poor soil compaction, water drainage, unsealed control joints and failure to notice soil conditions will cause the process of settlement to show visible signs quicker. Sinking concrete, unlevel surfaces, cracks, and voids are all visible signs that your concrete has settled. If your concrete isn’t repaired immediately, the damage will worsen over time
Idaho Concrete Lifting
can solve settled concrete issues through our Poly Lift and Level Process.
We will lift your settled concrete to the desired level by this simple process:
- Drill small holes in the concrete slabs (5/16” up to 5/8“)
- Install foam injection ports
- Inject polyurethane into injection ports until the concrete is lifted and leveled to specifications.
- Patch holes that we used to inject foam with concrete mortar to look similar to existing concrete.
