PolyLevel Technical Information
Expanding, high-density foam permanently raises sunken concrete in many applications.
Schedule a free estimateThe PolyLevel system provides a new, state-of-the-art solution to a very old problem: sinking or settling concrete. Virtually every type of concrete flatwork (slabs, sidewalks, driveways, runways, patios, and more) is susceptible to sinking if the supporting soil is loose, weak or prone to compression. Concrete will also sink when the supporting soil beneath it is washed away.
Traditionally, contractors had two main methods of dealing with sunken concrete: demolition followed by reconstruction or mud jacking to raise a sunken slab via hydraulic pressure. PolyLevel provides an alternative to these techniques, offering notable advantages, including speed, effectiveness and soil consolidation capability (meaning it addresses the cause of the problem, not just the symptoms).

PolyLevel was engineered to permanently raise and level sinking concrete slabs. As seen here, the polyurethane foam fills voids underneath the concrete to help it become level again.
Unlike mudjacking techniques that pump mortar-based material beneath settled concrete, PolyLevel imposes very little additional weight on the soil. It's a much more effective slab-raising strategy in areas where soils are easily compressed or have poor load-bearing characteristics.
PolyLevel has almost unlimited lifting capability when applied by an experienced technician. Lifting force can approach 6000 lbs. per sq. ft. Settled factory floors and sections of airport runways have been successfully restored to level using PolyLevel.
PolyLevel foam hardens and cures to a strong, rigid foam material that will not absorb water or alter its dimensions over time. Once cured, the material is totally inert and does not leech harmful chemicals into the soil.
Following application beneath a settled slab or other concrete element, PolyLevel foam expands immediately to many times its liquid volume to create a powerful lifting force. In a matter of minutes, the foam begins to harden, typically reaching around 90% of its final strength and rigidity in under 20 minutes. These fast setup and cure characteristics minimize downtime, so that the concrete can become fully functional again almost immediately.
Once injected, PolyLevel foam does more than expand upward against the sunken concrete. It also moves downward, expanding into loose soil areas that can benefit from the foam's consolidating action. Other geotechnical applications of PolyLevel include soil stabilization, erosion control and preconstruction soil treatment to improve stability and load-bearing values.
PolyLevel is an innovative, long-lasting solution, unlike many other concrete leveling methods. The expanding, high-density polymer foam lifts interior and exterior slabs quickly and effectively while also addressing the soil issues that caused the settlement in the first place.
