When you talk about Concrete Lifting what do you think of? Do you think of a huge machine that moves gigantic chunks of concrete over long distances? Do you
think of a huge hole in your driveway that needs to be filled with concrete? Or do you think of a simple, but still very important process that involve concrete and other material being placed into very deep holes? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you have most likely never been involved in concrete lifting.
Concrete Lifting is a concrete repair method that seeks to correct an unsightly concrete surface by changing the underlying foundation on which the surface sits. To achieve this, the lifting process will require the use of two primary equipment types, one for the drilling of voids and one for injecting concrete. The drilling of voids is used to locate out of square or out of way places where concrete has sunk or begun to settle. By drilling a hole into the earth, a solid concrete anchor is installed and the hole is covered over. The next step in this concrete lifting process involves the insertion of helical piers or anchors. More about stem wall repair Phoenix.
Many homeowners are more interested in Concrete Lifting than they are in Concrete Repair. It’s very common for homeowners to want to pour new concrete onto a concrete slab that has sunk or has stopped sinking. It can be very difficult to install a slab that has stopped sinking or has sunk unevenly. Homeowners must first identify the problem area and then proceed to complete the job. If the homeowners do not have experience in laying concrete, they may end up injuring themselves while trying to complete the project. More about polyurethane foam injection Phoenix, AZ.
Concrete Lifting Phoenix AZ is very common in the construction of driveways and sidewalks. It is also used on basements to repair damage and to install retaining walls. Driveways and walkways that have been damaged by ice, snow and other debris will often need to be repaired before concrete is laid. When this type of repairing is done by a professional concrete lifting company the contractor will dig small holes (the size of a dime) in the ground around the affected area and then create an indentation in the ground with a cement mix.
After the holes have been created they are filled with concrete mixture and then the holes are patched with cement to hide them. This is the beginning of the entire process of Concrete Lifting. The next step involves injecting the concrete mixture into the holes. Once this is injected into the newly created cracks and hollow spaces will be filled with concrete.

One of the more unique aspects of Concrete Lifting Awhatukee foothills Phoenix Arizona involves the use of slabs. Rather than repairing and replacing damaged slab after damaged slab a contractor may choose to repair damage by injecting new slabs and “fill voids” in the existing slab. A concrete lifting and leveling company will use steel augers to make these repairs and “fill voids” in the concrete.
In many cases concrete lifting companies will repair a home before it gets damaged by winter and save homeowners money. Homeowners can often save thousands of dollars by repairing their own home rather than hiring a Concrete Lifting Contractor. Some homeowners may feel uncomfortable contracting out work that requires them to locate a service truck, drive there, unload the material, and perform the repairs themselves. Many homeowners may not have the experience necessary to locate the proper tools for this type of repair.
The Concrete Lifting repair method is a low cost solution to the problem of sinking or moving a slab. Rather than having to replace a damaged slab this Concrete Lifting process makes it easy to simply move it. Instead of waiting until it sinks and needs to be moved to another time Concrete Lifting can help fix the problem before it gets worse. This low cost and easy to use method to make Concrete Lifting a great choice for many homeowners and building owners.
Polyurethane foam injection molding or slab jacking is a cost-effective way to repair cracked foundation walls. This method, when combined with polystyrene (also known as SPU) or urethane, is a cost-effective solution for repairing foundation damage. However, this method of repairing foundation damage is only recommended if the cracks are located inside the walls. If the damage is on the outside, such as on the patio or porch, then you will need to excavate the exterior of the wall. Once the dirt is removed from around the wall, a thick layer of polyurethane sealant can be applied and allowed to dry in place.
Most often, this type of repair job involves a contractor and a concrete lifting machine. For instance, if your sidewalk has sunken concrete surrounding a sidewalk sign, a concrete lifter machine can be used in order to lift the concrete up and move it to a more level spot. A concrete lifting boom is also useful in other areas. Polyurethane foam injection molding is most often used for sunken concrete repair jobs because it is a time-consuming process as well as a dangerous one.
Two types of polyurethane foam injection molding are sump and slab jacks. In sump jacking, a series of wedges are used to place the slab onto the pad. The concrete is slowly elevated until the desired height is reached and the wedges are removed to allow for the concrete to settle and set. Slab jacking is a two-step process. First, a series of wedges are placed on top of the slab while the concrete is being raised; the wedges are removed after the concrete has fully set.
Another common use of polyurethane foam injection “slab jacking” is in the repair and restoration of collapsed or damaged roads and highways. Due to the size and weight of fallen concrete slabs, there are often cracks in the road where vehicles can’t pass. To resolve this, many states have created laws that require large trucks to use voids that are designed specifically to accommodate oversized road construction equipment.
There are a variety of uses for void drilling and slab jacks. Although they are primarily used in the construction industry, there are also many contractors who use them for repairing damaged roadways and highways. However, many homeowners may not immediately consider the installation of polyurethane foam injection slabs due to the dangers associated with these machines. This common misconception is caused by misconceptions about how these machines work and also by manufacturers’ unwillingness to talk about any potential safety issues.
There are two major dangers associated with slab jacking and concrete lifting Phoenix. The first is known as secondary beam operation (SBO), which is the failure of the machine because of improper loading or insufficient mechanical integrity. In the event of SBO, the concrete slabs can easily be lifted and move out of position, possibly damaging nearby vegetation and worse. The second danger is known as primary beam operation (PSO) – the failure of the machine as a result of thermal contraction or thermal expansion. The problem with PSO is not that the concrete slabs move away from the lifting surface, but that the mechanical design of the machine itself may allow it to move away even when the slabs are lifted into place. These flaws, if left unchecked, can quickly turn into disaster scenarios that could put the homeowner behind on their property or even their life. More about concrete leveling Phoenix Arizona.
