Concrete Stabilization

What is Concrete Stabilization?

Concrete stabilization reinforces the soil beneath a slab to help prevent further settling. When the underlying soil begins to weaken or erode, polyurethane foam can be injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and stabilize the ground without lifting the slab. Addressing the issue early can help preserve existing concrete and prevent more extensive damage.

When is Concrete Stabilization Needed?

Concrete stabilization may be needed when hairline cracks or other signs of settling begin to appear. These can indicate that the soil beneath the slab has weakened or that voids are forming. By injecting polyurethane structural foam beneath the surface, we can fill voids, reinforce the underlying soil, and help restore stability to the concrete.

Application Types

Undermined buildings and foundations
Structurally compromised homes
Eroded patios, sidewalks, and driveways
Weakened roadways
Damaged manholes

Deep Lock Stabilization

Sometimes the voids are larger and deeper in the soil. When this is the cause, we offer “Deep Lock” stabilization. This works by driving thin long pipes into the ground to inject the foam at the lowest point of the disturbed soils.

Process

Step 1

Determine depth of void

Step 2

Perform soil test to determine the correct chemical needed for the job

Step 3

Plan out a grouting layout for deep lock stabilization

Step 4

Layout the grout layout and drive the steel rods into the ground

Step 5

Begin to pump the desired amount of foam into the soil at predetermined rate

Step 6

Rest easy knowing you are back on stable ground
