What Causes Concrete To Settle?

There are many things that can cause concrete to settle, shift, and crack. Here are the most common causes of concrete damage:

  1. Too much or too little rain: Concrete slabs can become cracked and uneven due to natural occurrences and climate changes. During rainier seasons, the soil beneath your slab will expand and create pressure against the concrete. When the soil is hot and dry, it will shrink and can create cracks and voids. Because of this it is very common for homeowners in Arkansas to experience concrete issues.
  2. Improper compaction: Before concrete is laid, the ground underneath the slab needs to be correctly compacted in order for it to be suitable for the concrete. Poor or improper preparation of the ground can lead to concrete sinking or settling.
  3. Soil erosion: When excess moisture is present, the soil around your home will expand and create pressure against any concrete that is above it. When the soil dries up, this can cause your concrete to settle, shift, and crack.
  4. Plumbing leaks: A leak in your plumbing will cause excess moisture to fill your soil, which leads to soil expansion and hydraulic pressure against your concrete.

Advantages of Using Polyurethane Foam to Lift Your Concrete Slab

Polyurethane foam slab lifting, or polyjacking, is the most preferred concrete leveling solution among property owners in Arkansas. Here are some of the advantages you will benefit from when choosing polyjacking to raise your concrete slabs.

Quick process and fast curing time

While some slab leveling processes are time and labor intensive, most concrete leveling using foam can be completed in a day.

Affordable price

Polyurethane foam lifting makes monetary sense as well. Simply replacing the concrete won’t solve the underlying issue, forcing you to soon confront the same issues all over again. And other methods of stabilizing and raising the slab, such as piering, can be far more expensive.

Eco-friendly

The polyurethane foam can not be broken down by the moisture or chemicals in the soil, preventing any environmental impact from the foam.

Little to no disruption to property

Polyjacking only requires the drilling of several small holes into the slab, which will be refilled when the job is over. Other methods can have far greater impacts on the slab and the area around it.

Applied to commercial and residential projects

Large slabs are not an issue for Airlift Concrete Experts. We even use polyurethane foam to lift grain bins.

Fills in every void regardless of its shape and size

As the foam expands underground, it not only fills in the area into which it was injected but also compacts the surrounding soil. When applied by the trained professionals at Airlift, between the foam and the compaction, all voids will be filled.

Hydraulically lifts the slab

At Airlift Concrete Experts, we guarantee a lift. And our technicians monitoring the process ensure precision as well. We don’t just lift concrete, we level it.

Lasts for years to come

Because the foam doesn’t break down underground, it will not weaken over time. Also, the compaction of the soil by the foam stabilizes it, preventing any further settlement. Weak soil is no longer a problem. This can’t be said for other lifting options such as mudjacking, which not only offers less precision, but also has to be redone periodically to avoid the same settlement issues popping up again.

Concrete leveling process is versatile

Regardless of what is causing your damaged concrete surface, our experts can restore it. We can permanently repair sidewalks, driveways, patios, retaining walls, concrete slab foundations, and other concrete surfaces.

With polyjacking, we have restored:

  • Porch steps pulled away from patios
  • Uneven sidewalks
  • Cracked driveways
  • Sloping garages
  • Foundation failure
  • Concrete slabs
  • Homes on slab foundations
  • Pool decks

How We Use Polyjacking for Concrete Leveling

Polyurethane injector being used to level concrete

Polyjacking is a concrete repair method that uses polyurethane foam to raise, level, and permanently stabilize concrete surfaces. We drill small holes into the affected area, and inject a polyurethane foam material into the hole. The polyurethane foam fills in the gaps and voids beneath the concrete then lifts the concrete surface upward. Once your concrete is raised back to its original level, the hole will be closed and the site cleaned.

For over 12 years, our company has used this successful and proven method to repair homes and businesses all over Arkansas.

These polyurethane foam injections work to fill all cracks in your concrete slab and raise it back to its original level.
