Polyurethane Vs Mudjacking
Hole Size
Polyurethane
concrete raising drills a nearly invisible 5/8” hole and the procvess calls for considerably fewer holes than traditional mudjacking.
Mudjacking
involves drilling a series of 1 inch holes in a slab of concrete, so the material can be pumped under the settled slab. Some mudjacking companies drill even bigger holes, up to 2 inches.
Weight
Polyurethane
concrete raising uses a foam material that is injected under the slab. When the components of this material are mixed, a reaction caused the material to expand. This expanded foam fills any voids beneath the slab and raises the concrete. This material will never lose density, is permanent and weighs only about 2 lbs per cubic foot.
Mudjacking
uses a sand based material that is infused with Portland cement., This slurry is hydraulically pumped under the slab to fill voids and raise the concrete. Mudjacking material weighs on average 100 lbs per cubic foot.
FINALLY LET'S TALK - DEEP FOAMJECTION
• Concrete repair work is outside work where prospects were not in any way threatened by a contractor visit. • With “stay at home directives” property owner are looking to accomplish “SOMETHING” beyond watching the same movies or spending too many hours on social media. Any inside the house repairs or improvements were out of the question. • The Concrete Lifting Technologies estimating, scheduling, and invoicing processes do not require face to face interaction with the customer. In reality most customers are usually not at home when we give estimates or do the work. These facts allowed us to immediately conform to social distancing recommendations. Concrete repair contracting, the Concrete Lifting Technologies way, is positioned to be successful in our current environment and will allow you to be successful no matter how long the current restrictions and recommendations last. Concrete repair is Covid 19 Friendly Contracting.
Clay-rich soils are ‘elastic.’ They expand and contract with moisture content. As soils become saturated with water, the clay expands and loses strength. This condition allows slabs to sink just like standing in wet mud. This can occur from heavy rains, melting snow or plumbing leaks.
Concrete Lifting Technologies uses polyurethane foam from recycled material. There are many reasons why Concrete Lifting Technologies polyurethane foam material is different from the rest – but one of the main reasons is that their poly is made from over 40% recycled materials.
Concrete problems can came out of nowhere after a big rainstorm but usually a concrete problem is an underlying issue that happens slowly over time. We’re here to help alert you to some of the most telling signs you may have a concrete issue in its early stages. We’ll also help find a solution before the problem escalates
