Over time, concrete used for driveways and walkways can deteriorate, leading to cracks, uneven sections, or crumbling. Polyfoam Solutions offers concrete leveling for driveways and walkways because of their importance to curb appeal. Leveling out concrete spaces will allow for safety around a home, longer-lasting concrete, and other benefits. This blog will dive into the benefits of polyfoam and how it helps with concrete leveling for driveways and walkways. Transforming your home is much easier when homeowners choose polyurethane foam.
Why Concrete Settles in the First Place
In order to find the best solution, it’s best to understand the source of the problem. Concrete slabs for patios, driveways, walkways, sidewalks, or other purposes sit on top of soil. Depending on the area and condition of the soil, it can compress, shift, or wash away. This can lead to gaps in between the concrete slabs and the dirt.
Since heavy concrete needs the support, it begins to settle or crack, creating visible problems on the surface. Some common issues are:
- Lowers curb appeal and resale value
- Allows water to pool and cause further erosion
- Damaged vehicle tires or suspension (from driving over the uneven surfaces)
- Tripping hazards created
This is where concrete leveling for driveways and walkways comes in.
Using Polyfoam For Concrete
Polyurethane foam (or polyfoam) injection is a modern solution that offers a more affordable option for dealing with shifted or sunken concrete. Here’s how it works:
- Small holes are drilled into the concrete for easier access.
- A high density polyfoam is injected through the hole, underneath the slab, and into the empty space.
- The polyfoam rapidly expands to fill the space, hardening into a moisture-resistant and dense material that lifts the concrete to its original position and compacts the soil.
- The hole is then patched up and the surface is ready to use within hours.
Polyfoam is an extremely effective method for handling concrete leveling for driveways, patios, sidewalks, or other concrete surfaces. Where foot traffic and car tire traffic are common, polyfoam is crucial to saving a homeowner from a complete reinstallation.
Benefits of Polyfoam for Residential Projects
Utilizing spray foam provides many advantages for a residential space, especially when working with a trusted supplier and contractor like Polyfoam Solutions. Polyfoam lifting or leveling is extremely durable as it will expand and contract with outdoor temperature fluctuations. This characteristic makes it ideal for driveways and walkways around a home. Installing the spray foam will give homeowners peace of mind about cracking or splitting in their driveways, especially for homes in Utah. With unpredictable weather and high moisture during the winter, polyfoam is the best option for residential concrete leveling.
Polyfoam is also cost-effective for homeowners on a budget. Using polyfoam will provide a smooth surface without a high price tag. While the upfront cost may seem higher than other solutions, the durability and longevity of polyurethane foam make it more cost-effective than frequent driveway/walkway repairs.
