Denver Concrete Repair Contractors
Sunken concrete can be an eye sore as well as pose risk of a tripping hazard.
Polyurethane concrete lifting and traditional mudjacking are two concrete stabilization methods used throughout Colorado. These applications help to support and raise unstable or sunken concrete slabs. Both processes involve the drilling of holes in the existing slab, then pumping either polyurethane foam or concrete slurry beneath.
We use an environmentally friendly concrete repair service which involves injecting polyurethane foam.
Foam jacking is a better alternative to mudjacking because it does not create as much extra weight below your concrete slabs. Polyurethane foam flows like water, seeking the path of least resistance and filling all cracks, holes, and voids below and within concrete slabs.
Our polyurethane foam slabjacking services are available for:
Avoid Issues Caused by Uneven Concrete
Property owners, homeowners and municipalities often experience uneven concrete slabs due to a shifting substrate beneath. For example, concrete slabs used to install floors, loading docks, roads bridge approaches and sidewalks can cause serious liability issues. Uneven concrete caused by the shifting of soil base below is dangerous. Concrete leveling is needed to repair entry ramps and curbs of municipal roads. Residential concrete repair service will be needed for any uneven concrete surface in your basement, stairs, driveway or pool deck. Safety and liability issues can be posed by any of these situations.
Concrete Replacement is Expensive
Denver CO concrete repair contractors make multiple trips to a concrete replacement site. Increased costs from labor such as removal of old concrete, the framing for new pouring, concrete mixing and removal and cleanup of the work site. Disposal of concrete waste causes environmental problems, and the replacement of a standard 10×10 concrete slab can run a bill upwards of $2000.
Rather than replacement, consider concrete repair. Not only is repairing your sunken concrete cheaper than replacement, but more environmentally friendly as well!
How can settled concrete in Denver, CO be dealt with?
Grinding: The most cost effective option, however the least aesthetically pleasing. Grinding down uneven edges makes for unsightly views of the aggregate of which the concrete is composed. While addressing the above ground issues of an uneven slab, grinding can compromise the strength and integrity of the slab as well. The slab can also continue to settle, possibly leading to an uneven surface once again.
Replacement: The most expensive option. Concrete replacement is a time-consuming and messy process that creates much excess waste. Newly poured concrete will have a different color than the weathered slabs around it, as well as causing downtime while the concrete cures.
Concrete Stabilization & Raising: Polyurethane concrete lifting and traditional mudjacking are the two most popular methods to raise and level sunken concrete slabs. Holes are drilled in the uneven slab, and the mixture is pumped below to stabilize the slab above. Polyurethane foam is far superior to traditional mudjacking for concrete stabilization. The polyurethane foam does not causes excess weight below the slab and is impervious to water.
