PolyLevel Injection

The stability of any concrete surface is dependent on the soils beneath it. The weight of concrete and what it supports, combined with natural soil erosion, can lead to sunken and uneven concrete surfaces. This process affects everything from your driveway and sidewalk to roads and airport runways.

Sentry Concrete Solutions provides expert concrete repair solutions using the PolyLevel® system. PolyLevel® is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface.

If you have sunken concrete surfaces that need repair, call us today at 1-431-733-3996 or contact us online to get started with a free estimate! We provide residential and commercial concrete leveling services in Winnipeg, Winkler, Altona and the nearby areas.

Accurate lift for clean results

Z

Adjustable for loads of all sizes

Reasons to choose PolyLevel®

Strong but light

PolyLevel® weighs only about 4lbs. per cubic ft., compared to 120lbs. per cubic ft. for standard fill material. PolyLevel®’s light weight makes it useful where denser fill material might impose an undesirable load on weak soils. Despite its light weight, PolyLevel® can support substantial loads; it typically provides greater lifting power than mudjacking.

Adjustable

Adjusting the density and expansive force of the 2-part foam affords a wide range of geotechnical uses. Lifting force can be adjusted by fine-tuning the chemical reaction that causes the foam to expand. An experienced applicator can factor not only the weight of the structural element but also soil characteristics and temperature and weather conditions. Special formulations are possible for applications where water must be displaced.

Stable and inert

PolyLevel® does not react with soil or moisture; it will not leach harmful chemicals into the soil.

Noninvasive

PolyLevel® injection equipment isn’t bulky, enabling applicators to access confined areas. When properly injected, PolyLevel® is not as messy or disruptive as other slab and foundation-lifting techniques.

Waterproof

Once cured, PolyLevel® will not wash away. PolyLevel®’s waterproofing properties can be beneficial in certain applications.

Quick curing

Downtime is minimized with PolyLevel® concrete repair. Full loading of the foundation, roadway, or other structural element can usually happen about 15 minutes after the material is injected.

How PolyLevel® Works

The causes of concrete settlement and sinking are the same whether it’s a driveway, walkway, patio, garage floor, or pool deck. As soil underneath a concrete slab shrinks, settles or washes away, this leaves empty space, or voids, beneath the slab. With the soil no longer supporting the slab, the concrete will sink, creating an uneven surface.

PolyLevel uses a high-density polyurethane foam to fill voids and stabilize and lift sinking concrete slabs. The expanding properties of the two-part urethane formula allows for accurate leveling of the slab. The result is a waterproof repair that’s much more permanent than mudjacking and other common concrete repair methods.

Small 3/8” holes are strategically drilled in the slab.

poly-step-3

Polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slab.

poly-step-4

Holes and control joints are sealed.

What causes uneven floors in a home?

Concrete slabs are often poured on wet, weak, or poorly compacted soil. Over time, this will lead to settlement of the slab, causing uneven floors or cracking. Inside your home, your floor will pull away from walls and doorways, creating gaps at the seams.

This not only creates an uncomfortable home with tripping hazards, it also significantly impacts property value. When prospective buyers have to deal with foundation issues, it can make selling a home very challenging.

How we repair sunken interior slabs with PolyLevel®

There are several traditional methods of raising concrete slabs, including spreading self-leveling compounds, mudjacking, and pier installation. However, these methods can be very invasive and often don’t fix the source of the problem.

PolyLevel® is the solution to these problems. This is how the PolyLevel® system works to raise your sunken slab:

Z

Very small sections of existing finished flooring are removed to access slab

Z

Penny sized holes are bored into the slab in each affected room

Z

Polyurethane foam is injected through holes, where it expands and raises the slab

Z

Foam is injected until the floor is level, reaching 90% rigidity within 30 minutes

Z

Finished flooring is restored over injection holes

With our system, you get the best solution for sunken concrete available without creating significant upheaval in your home.

If you have issues with an unlevel floor or sunken interior concrete slab in your home, call the experts at Sentry Concrete Solutions today for a quality solution. We can provide a non-invasive, fast, and effective repair with PolyLevel®.

Traditional Concrete Lifting vs PolyLevel®

Before PolyLevel, there were two basic options for lifting and leveling concrete: mudjacking and slab replacement. Both approaches have limitations and disadvantages. PolyLevel offers many advantages over traditional concrete leveling methods:

Concrete Replacement

Replacing a concrete slab is both expensive and disruptive. Concrete slabs can take days – or even weeks – to cure. Pouring new concrete over bad soil often delays future problems and leaves unsightly patchwork. PolyLevel material is lightweight, so it won’t add weight to weak soil. Best of all, PolyLevel allows for use of concrete within hours, not weeks.

Mudjacking

PolyLevel Foam Injection Mudjacking or Slabjacking
Cure Time 15 minutes 24 hours or more
Material Weight 2 lbs per cubic foot 100 lbs per cubic foot
Hole Size 5/8″ (size of a penny) 1″ (size of a quarter)
Waterproof Yes No
