CAUSES OF CONCRETE DAMAGE<br />

Concrete is very heavy! When the soils underneath a slab cannot support its weight,<br />

the slab sinks. If part of the concrete slab is supported and other parts are not,<br />

the unsupported sections crack away and sink resulting in an uneven surface.<br />

Below you will see the two most common causes of concrete damage.<br />

CONCRETE SOLUTIONS<br />

PolyLyft<br />

POLYURETHANE CONCRETE LIFTING<br />

How It Works<br />

PolyLyft is a high-density polyurethane<br />

formula that permanently stabilizes and<br />

lifts sinking concrete slabs. Small holes<br />

are drilled into the slab, and the<br />

structural-grade polymer is injected<br />

into the void. The expanding properties<br />

of the polyurethane allow for an<br />

accurate leveling of the slab. The<br />

PolyLyft system will immediately raise<br />

your sinking concrete slab. This stateof-the-art<br />

technique is the most<br />

effective and longest lasting solution.<br />

SOIL COMPACTION<br />

& SETTLING<br />

When a soil’s load-bearing capacity is<br />

exceeded, the soil compacts and settles.<br />

As the soil expands and contracts beneath<br />

your concrete slab, the slab will sink and<br />

heave. This can also cause cracking in<br />

one or more parts of the slab.<br />

SOIL<br />

WASHOUT<br />

As water moves through the ground under<br />

your concrete slab, it can begin to wash<br />

away the supporting soils holding up your<br />

concrete. As this soil washout continues, it<br />

creates voids and empty space under the<br />

slab. Over time, those voids grow and your<br />

concrete begins to sink or cave in.<br />

FEATURES<br />

HIGH-DENSITY POLYMER<br />

Structural-grade<br />

polyurethane allows for<br />

the lifting of extremely<br />

heavy loads<br />

Lightweight solution<br />

adds minimal weight<br />

to existing soil<br />

MINIMAL DISRUPTION<br />

Installation method requires<br />

only penny-sized holes for<br />

injection (compared to 3”<br />

holes for other methods)<br />

More affordable than<br />

other concrete repair<br />

options<br />
