Denver, Colorado Void filling service

The concrete cracks, slab unevenness and settlements are structural problems that must be dealt promptly, since they attempt not only against the beauty and functionality of your home but also against your safety. For us it’s essential to know exactly what caused your problem and how to solve it efficiently in the long term.

Colorado Void filling

One of the most common problems is the settlement/subsidence of the concrete. It isn’t something that should be taken lightly because if you take a long time to repair these holes (unfortunately some stay unnoticed), they could lead to progressive concrete breakage.

Why this happens?

The main causes of voids and concrete cracks are:

• Inadequate compaction of filling materials
• Erosion and sedimentation
• Infiltration of water or other chemical materials
• Freeze and thaw cycles
• Excavator animals or roots
• Vibration

Although most of the time poor compaction is insufficient reason for concrete breakage or settlement, when water is added to the equation, even the most efficient and best compacted materials will yield to the void

How to repair it and DON’T replace it

You don’t have to be a specialist to understand why the concrete replacement is expensive. Concrete contractors should make up to three trips to replace a slab (not including the removal, framing, pouring, framing material removal and cutting) and if it was not enough, every day there are more environmental regulations for proper concrete disposal.

Repair and don’t replace, not only for the preservation of your wallet but also for the environment

Colorado Void filling process

This technique (also used as concrete crack repair) involves the injection of a polyurethane foam that reacts and expands into a lightweight, high density material. This expanding substance fills the voids, supports and lifts the concrete slab.

Benefits

• It’s a less expensive solution
• Fast and permanent action
• Non-invasive (3/8’ holes to inject foam)
• Environmental friendly
• Lightweight but tough
• Raincoat

Mudjacking

Mudjacking is the process in which 1-inch holes are drilled in the concrete surface and hydraulically pumped through them a mixture of sand that fills the voids and raises the concrete to its proper height. At the end the holes are filled with concrete patches.

Benefits

• Stabilizes the subsoil
• Easily camouflage with old concrete
• Mudjacking not only works as a concrete repair, concrete cracks filler and void fill, but also eliminates erosion, penetration of water and foundations, animals and insects.
• Improves the safety of your concrete and eliminates the risk of tripping due to cracks or unevenness
• It’s permanent
