Questions We Get Asked
How Do You Lift Concrete With Foam?
- Small holes are drilled in pre-determined places in the slab as injection points for the polyurethane foam. The holes are strategically placed for maximum lift.
- Using specialized injection equipment, the foam is then injected through these access points, under the slab, spreading out to fill the gaps and voids, ultimately lifting the slab back into place.
- Once the slab is lifted, the access points are filled, and the job site is cleaned up.
