Continue reading as we discuss how to prepare for your polyjacking job, a bit more about the process so you can be prepared the day of, and why polyjacking is the best choice for concrete repair.
Signs Your Cracked Concrete Needs Repair
If you’re contemplating whether your concrete needs repairing, you’re not alone. Unfortunately, concrete cracks and becomes uneven; it’s an inevitable result of soil shifting, whether from soil erosion, a foundation settling, mistakes made while pouring the concrete, or years of exposure to the elements. Regardless of how the concrete cracked, there are telltale signs your concrete needs repairing:
- The concrete slab is cracked or uneven
- There are uneven or unlevel spots in your concrete
- The concrete has some spalling
- Guests or family members have tripped
If you’ve noticed any of the signs above, it’s time to schedule concrete repair. Getting cracked or unlevel concrete repaired not only makes the structure level, but also protects your loved ones and guests from serious injuries caused by trips and falls. There are a few options for concrete repair, but polyjacking is the most permanent solution.
Why Choose Polyjacking For Cracked Concrete?
The old saying “you get what you pay for” really applies when comparing concrete leveling options like mudjacking and polyjacking. While mudjacking may cost less upfront, it’s often a short-term fix that can require repeat repairs within a few years. The slurry used in mudjacking can break down or wash out over time, allowing the ground beneath your concrete to settle again. Polyjacking, on the other hand, uses a durable polyurethane foam that doesn’t erode or dissolve. It stabilizes the underlying soil and lifts the concrete with a long-lasting solution you can rely on for years to come.
Polyjacking is the most permanent concrete leveling solution, offering homeowners and commercial property owners a concrete repair method that lifts concrete and stabilizes the soil underneath. Polyurethane foam is injected under sunken or cracked concrete, expanding as it cures. Polyjacking offers quicker curing, and it’s environmentally friendly because it’s inert, never seeping into the soil or wasting resources. It also uses smart technology to measure slopes and implementing sensors that detect how much polyurethane foam is needed to lift and fill gaps in concrete, and requires smaller injection sites that are nearly undetectable compared to mudjacking.
How to Prepare for Your Polyjacking Job
Preparing for your polyjacking job depends on the structure. For example, preparing for a polyjacking of a concrete parking garage means ensuring all vehicles are removed from the garage before we start injecting our polyurethane foam. Likewise, a school or city playground should be empty before we start polyjacking. While our polyurethane foam cures and sets in minutes, we ask that concrete structures be free of vehicles or individuals before we begin. However, you’ll be able to use the concrete structure shortly after your polyjacking job is completed.
If you’re having polyjacking done on your private property, we ask that all furniture and decorations be removed before we arrive. Patio furniture, entryway signs, benches, door mats, and other accessories should be removed from the area to ensure we have a clear space for accurate injections.
As for your furry friends, we ask that they remain safely secured during your prolyjacking job. This ensures we have a clear space to get accurate measurements and injections.
Pro Polyjacking’s Process
Our polyjacking process is quick and easy, with four steps to repair your cracked or sunken concrete. Below is a glance at our process:
Step 1. Initial Assessment
Our team will come out to your residential or commercial property to provide a quote detailing our costs for your polyjacking job. We’ll give you friendly reminders of your upcoming assessment and answer any questions you have.
Step 2. Drilling Injection Sites
The next step in our process is to create the injection sites. We start by drilling discreet holes no larger than a dime, allowing us to inject our polyurethane foam under the cracked or unlevel concrete.
Step 3. Polyurethane Foam Injection
The next step is the actual polyurethane foam injection. We’ll inject our high-density foam under the injection sites, and it’ll start expanding, filling voids and tightening cracks, leaving the surface smooth and restored.
Step 4. Patch Injection Sites
Once we’re done with the injections, we patch those tiny holes we drilled, making them virtually undetectable. Our staff will ensure the area is clean and will instruct you when you can put your furniture, decor, or park your vehicle on the concrete.
