Foam Injection Concrete Leveling
Foam Injections for Concrete Leveling
Leveling a settled concrete slab with foam injection is a lot like the old mudjacking or slab jacking technique, except the holes necessary for injecting the foam are much smaller—the diameter of a dime instead of a whole inch. Also, the curing time is measured in minutes instead of hours or days.
Foam injection concrete leveling for your Charleston or Lexington home is the process in which polyurethane foam is injected as a liquid under the concrete slab. As the foam is injected, it immediately begins to expand, and follows a path of least resistance to effectively fill every void beneath the concrete. Throughout the process, the expanding foam raises the slab and reaches its final volume in just a matter of seconds. What's more, the foam is completely cured and is ready for you to drive a car over the repaired slab in about 15 minutes.
Foam injection creates minimal dust, once cured will never lose its density, and will maintain its compressive strength year after year. The foam injection concrete leveling process used at your Charleston or Lexington home will not break down or wash out with water, because gas pockets beneath the slab are sealed by the closed-cell polymer foam. And because the foam process is less messy, it is the perfect solution for the repair of settled slabs that have decorative coatings or aesthetic surface features. To repair a concrete slab that supports a wood floor, you need only cut a small access panel to expose the concrete, then simply put the wood back into place. The same can be done for carpeted areas. Cut a small square then glue it back in place after leveling.

I don’t have a single complaint to make about this company or my experience with them. From the time I called to the time the job was completed probably totaled 2 weeks. Every aspect of the experience was professional and much more than I could&rsquo- Sarah M.

We decided to hire them after we'd had another company out for the same quote. The first company gave us a lot of hot air and was very demeaning. Then Bobby and the USS guys came out! I can't say enough about how incredibly professional they were, how well- Sherrie J.

Bobby was fantastic. Needed a structural specialist to review cracks above garage when trying to sell our house. Bobby was very honest, professional and didn't try to sell us on repairs that weren't needed.- Leslie S.

Bobby arrived as scheduled and conducted a thorough inspection of my basement. He did not try to oversell his products or services. In fact, he alerted me to more cost-effective and simpler solutions that did not require USS services at all.- Kim H.

Chris did all of the measurements during the job and was also thorough, polite and professional. I had other estimates done and not only was the USS estimate better, their overall customer service and ability to explain the issues and solutions were far su- Diane D.
