Concrete is one of the most favoured materials in home construction. It’s durable, versatile, and requires minimal maintenance. However, over time, concrete can crack or sink due to several factors like weather, soil erosion, or heavy loads. This can be incredibly frustrating and even hazardous, especially if it affects your driveway, sidewalks, pool deck, basement floor or stairs. Fortunately, there are several ways to repair and restore concrete to its original condition with the help of a professional.      

Polyurethane Foam concrete correction involves injecting a specially adapted polyurethane foam into voids and sunken concrete. Concrete correction will repair any trip hazards or areas where water pools around your home. Okanagan Lift and Level is a Kelowna company that offers this cost-effective and environmentally friendly way of repairing concrete.

With Slab Jacking, Polyurethane Foam is injected through small holes and it then expands, lifts, and supports the sunken or shifted concrete slab to its original position. Slab Jacking is best for concrete slabs that are not completely shattered or broken. It’s useful for repairing concrete in garages, basement floors, driveways and sidewalks. This method is also known as poly-leveling or foam jacking.

Concrete correction can also be done by Void Filling. This is a preemptive measure that can be used to support your concrete before it settles or sinks. This repair process involves drilling small holes into the concrete, then injecting Polyurethane Foam to fill in the voids and support the slab. The hole is then patched over with a concrete patcher. This method extends the life of the concrete slab by providing structural support. Void Filling is commonly used to extend the life of pool decks, driveways, walkways, or any concrete flatwork on your property.

  • Polyurethane Foam is hydrophobic (water resistant).
  • Polyurethane Foam will not break down due to erosion.
  • Polyurethane Foam introduces less weight to the substrate than traditional mud-jacking, reducing the chance for further settlement.
