PolyLEVEL is a high-density, expandable polyurethane foam which is used to level concrete slabs including sidewalks, driveways, highways, parking lots, and more.

To lift concrete, PolyLEVEL is injected below the surface of your concrete. There, it begins to expand, filling voids where there’s little or no soil supporting your slab. It folds over itself as it hardens, slowly and gently pushing your concrete upwards toward a level position. It hardens as it dries, eventually becoming an entirely waterproof support system for settled concrete.

This is dependent on the size of your project. Most residential applications can be finished in as little as a single afternoon, while large commercial projects with lots of different areas in need of treatment can take longer. However, the product itself will cure in as little as 15 minutes after application.

While PolyLEVEL is typically more affordable than concrete replacement or mudjacking services, cost is dependent on the size and scope of the project. We offer free inspections to get you the most accurate quote possible for your project as well as financing through opportunities to make repairs as affordable as possible.

Occasionally, our team will have to use pry bars to push concrete slabs in the right direction, and this can cause minor disturbances to your lawn or landscaping near the edges of your slab. However, the process is minimally invasive, usually leaving little to no trace of our presence once we pack up and leave!

Because PolyLEVEL dries as a single, solid structure, it’s not susceptible to erosion or deterioration in the same way the sandy slurry used in mudjacking is. Also, it’s completely waterproof and impervious to pest or chemical breakdown, so you won’t have to worry about it breaking down over time. As long as the subsoil below it remains intact, it will continue to support your concrete for the life of your structure!

This is absolutely a possibility, especially for exterior concrete slabs. Because our soil has high levels of bentonite (clay), it is highly absorbent and will shrink and swell depending on the amount of moisture in the environment. So, during the wet season, soil will swell and push concrete upwards, and when it dries, it will shrink back down. It’s important to remember this movement is due to soil, not PolyLEVEL failure, so there’s no cause for concern. There’s a good chance that the concrete will only move slightly, if at all, due to weather conditions, so if it looks as though you’ve experienced some settlement a few months after the repair (especially in the summertime) don’t fret. Be patient and wait to see if it returns to normal. If you’re worried, you can always call our team to come take another look.

The components used in PolyLEVEL are manufactured with recycled materials and are natural polyols, so they’re completely non-toxic and environmentally safe. Once the components are mixed, PolyLEVEL develops an outer skin, like a balloon, to contain the reaction process, making it safe for all applications, even including injection near sources of drinking water.

This is a question we get asked often, and it is important to address. There are lots of different expandable foam products that serve a variety of purposes. PolyLEVEL, however, is specifically formulated for geotechnical applications by Supportworks, one of the leading manufacturers of concrete leveling products in the nation.
