Appleton, WI, Homeowners Can Avoid the Need for Concrete Replacement With Our Top-Notch Polyjacking Service

If you’ve encountered a cracked or sunken concrete slab in your sidewalk, patio, or driveway, you may assume that you need to replace it. While it’s important to address an unlevel slab as soon as possible to prevent trips and falls, concrete replacement isn’t always necessary. In many cases, concrete settlement issues can be resolved using an innovative process known as “polyjacking.” ABT Foundation Solutions, Inc., is pleased to offer this service to homeowners in Appleton, Wisconsin, and nearby communities.

Why Is Polyjacking a Better Choice Than Concrete Replacement?

Polyjacking is a three-step process that involves drilling holes through a sunken concrete slab, pumping expanding polyurethane foam through those holes until the slab is raised back into place, and then patching the holes. When compared to concrete replacement, polyjacking is more cost-effective and takes significantly less time.

Plus, because concrete replacement doesn’t address the underlying issue of soil settlement, it can leave you having to deal with this same problem and paying for further repairs in the future. In many cases, concrete slabs crack and sink into the ground because the soil below them has settled, leaving a void with nothing to support the weight of the slab. If you simply replace the concrete without doing anything to prevent further settlement, the replacement slab will probably end up the same way. Because the polyurethane foam we use for polyjacking is so light, however, it places less pressure on the soil and reduces the chances of the same problem occurring again.
