We Only Use The Best Foam
How is Concrete Lifting Technologies different?
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. That’s pretty impressive considering there is absolutely no other poly material on the market that offers this type of reduced carbon footprint!
We care about our environment and using green materials that are manufactured in the U.S.A. At Concrete Lifting Technologies, “green” is more than just a buzzword, it’s an active approach towards creating a more positive impact on the environment and our daily lives.
Concrete Lifting Technologies does not use toxic chemicals.
Major toxic chemicals, often associated with some types of polyurethanes, such as some blowing agents, formaldehyde, benzene and tolune are NOT used in Concrete Lifting Technologies foams.Most of what is warned against on the Internet pertains to these chemicals.
Benefits of Polyurethane Foam
Cost Effective:
Concrete raising is typically about half the cost of replacing the same concrete. Ultimately, the cost of raising or stabilizing concrete is a direct reflection of how much leveling the material the project will require.
Time:
Ready to use immediately! You can drive on, walk on, and play on the same day!
Clean Work Environment:
No concrete or grout splatter and no wash down needed.
No Landscape Disruption:
No heavy equipment will drive through your lawn and disrupt your landscape.
Smaller Holes:
Polyurethane concrete raising drills a nearly invisible 5/8 inch hole and the process calls for considerably fewer holes than traditional mudjacking; Minimal patchwork needed.
Lightweight:
This material will never lose density, is permanent and weighs only about 2 lbs. per cubic foot. Compared to traditional mudjacking material – which weighs on average 100 lbs per cubic foot – it’s a dramatic difference.
Green:
Concrete Lifting Technologies poly foam is a top-of-the-line eco friendly material. Every time concrete is raised, we are saving concrete slabs from landfills by raising versus replacing!
Deep Foamjection
is the process of installing foam deeper to increase the load bearing capacity of the soils.
• An upgrade to sub-surface concrete lifting
• Repair unstable soils
• Installing a stronger foundation to support slabs and structures that settled\
• Foam follows the path of least resistance and will fill weak areas
• Fills fissures and ground voids
• Fills voids holding water and displaces collected water
• Increase load bearing capacity of subgrade
• Permanent repair, foam never changes shape or absorbs ground water
• Foam soaks into the weak soils and then expands, binding the soil and making it solid
• Does not leach chemicals into the ground

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.
Polyurethane concrete raising drills a nearly invisible 5/8” hole and the process calls for considerably fewer holes than traditional mudjacking.
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 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
