Lifting and Leveling Sunken Concrete with PolyLevel in White Lake, WI
Challenge
The stability of any concrete surface is dependent on the soils beneath it. The weight of concrete and what it supports, combined with natural soil erosion, can lead to sunken and uneven concrete surfaces, like the garage and walkway of this home in White Lake, WI.
Eroded soil caused the garage floor to sink, creating cracks and allowing water to come between the floor and the wall. The concrete walkway leading up to house from the garage had also sunk, creating a dangerous tripping hazard.
Solution
To solve the sunken concrete issues in both the garage and the walkway, Sure-Dry applied their PolyLevel Injection Foam. PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface. It weighs only about 4lbs. per cubic ft., compared to 120 lbs. per cubic ft. for standard fill material. Its light weight makes it useful where denser fill material might impose an undesirable load on weak soils. Despite its lightweight, PolyLevel can support substantial loads; it typically provides greater lifting power than mud jacking. Once cured, PolyLevel will not wash away. Its waterproofing properties is be beneficial for scenarios like these. If you are looking for a fast and quick solution... PolyLevel may be the solution to your problem!
