PolyLEVEL Concrete Lifting: Fix Uneven Driveways Before Winter

  What is PolyLEVEL and How Does it Work?

PolyLEVEL is a concrete lifting system that uses high-density polyurethane foam to raise and stabilize sunken concrete slabs. Instead of traditional methods like mudjacking, which uses a heavy mud-based mixture, this process is much cleaner and more efficient.

The process involves these simple steps:

1. Drilling: Small, penny-sized holes are drilled through the concrete slab.

2. Injection: A two-part liquid polymer is injected through the holes.

    

3. Expansion and Lifting: The polymer quickly reacts, expanding into a rigid, dense foam. This expansion fills any voids beneath the concrete and gently lifts the slab back to its original position. The process is carefully controlled to ensure a precise lift.

    
    
    

Why Fix Your Driveway Before Winter?

Acting now to fix your uneven driveway is critical to preventing more severe problems once the winter weather sets in.

• Preventing Tripping Hazards: A sunken slab is a tripping hazard for you and your family. The risk is even greater when uneven surfaces are hidden under a layer of snow or ice.

   

• Avoiding Worsening Damage: The freeze-thaw cycle is your foundation's worst enemy. When water seeps into the voids beneath a sunken slab and freezes, it expands, causing the slab to shift and crack even more. The PolyLEVEL foam, being waterproof, fills these voids and prevents this from happening.

   
   

• Less Invasive Repair: The process is quick and non-disruptive. Because the injection holes are so small, you can use your driveway almost immediately after the repair is complete, a major benefit before winter weather sets in.

   
   

• Protecting Your Home’s Foundation: A sunken driveway can funnel water directly toward your home's foundation, increasing the risk of basement leaks and foundation damage. By leveling the driveway, you help ensure water drains away from your home, protecting its structural integrity.
