Have you been dealing with a sinking or uneven concrete slab? If so, you’re likely looking for an effective and long-lasting fix. While traditional concrete replacement is an option, it’s time-consuming, expensive, and messy. That’s why many people opt for poly concrete leveling instead. Here’s what you need to know about this effective and efficient process offered by Milwaukee Mudjacking & Concrete Leveling that serves customers in Milwaukee, Waukesha, Mequon, Brookfield, and surrounding areas.
What is Poly Concrete Leveling?
Poly concrete leveling is a process used to level sunken or uneven concrete slabs. It employs the use of specialized machinery and high-density polyurethane foam injected underneath the affected slab(s). The foam expands as it is injected into the void beneath the slab resulting in a lifted surface that promotes drainage away from the home’s foundation. This type of repair is also known as mudjacking or slab jacking (and sometimes even concrete raising).
Why Poly Concrete Leveling?
Poly concrete leveling offers several advantages over traditional methods of replacing sunken or uneven slabs. It is faster than traditional replacement methods since there are no waiting periods for new materials to cure or dry out – less labor is also required since no heavy equipment needs to be moved around for this type of repair job. In addition, poly concrete leveling can cost up to 50% less than other repair options such as replacing existing slabs with new ones. Lastly, this procedure produces minimal mess since little material needs to be removed during installation – leaving behind clean driveways and walkways that are ready for use almost immediately after completion!
What Homeowners Can Expect During the Process?
The entire process typically takes between 2-3 hours depending on how much area needs to be leveled; however it may take longer if there are multiple areas that require attention. First off, your technician will inspect the area(s) in need of repair before beginning any work – if necessary they may need some measurements taken or photographs taken prior to beginning their work. Next they will drill strategically placed holes into the affected area(s) through which they will inject their specialized foam mixture – once complete they will fill these holes with cement and cover them up with dirt which helps promote drainage away from your home’s foundation. Finally, your technician will apply a sealant over all repaired areas in order to protect them from further damage caused by moisture or other elements like extreme weather conditions.
