Raising Commercial Concrete Slabs | PolyLEVEL™ by Foundation Supportworks.

Soil erosion and settlement often cause concrete slabs underneath warehouses, offices, runways, railroads, grain bins and roads to sink into the ground. This type of settlement isn't just unsightly; it can also cause more damage and can be a safety hazard. Water tends to pool on sunken surfaces and unleveled floors cause a trip hazard. Until now, the only solutions available to repair sinking slabs were slab replacement, diamond grinding and mudjacking. Foundation Supportworks, an industry leader in the development of foundation repair technologies and solutions, proudly introduces the most advanced alternative to mudjacking - the PolyLEVEL™ System. The PolyLEVEL™ System is a state-of-the-art approach to repairing sinking concrete slabs. It combines the concept of mudjacking with the most advanced technology. Instead of using a mix of mud and cement to raise the slab, PolyLEVEL™ utilizes high-density polyurethane specially engineered for this purpose. The advantages of using PolyLEVEL™ over conventional mudjacking are many. PolyLEVEL™ is lighter than mud-cement mixes (4lbs per cubic yard opposed to concrete's 120lbs). It will raise the slab without adding a lot of weight to it. The expanding nature of the material allows it to penetrate crevices in the soil, completely filling the cavity and safely raising the slab to the desired level. PolyLEVEL™ is also environmentally-friendly and made with recycled materials. It can be installed in just one day, through smaller, penny-sized holes drilled in the concrete and just 5 minutes after installation you can walk or drive over the slab! There is no need for extended periods of curing, as is the case with cement and mud compounds. Foundation Supportworks is a foundation repair company you can trust . We're the largest and most reputable foundation repair network in the world, with dealers across the U.S, Canada and U.K

Features of the PolyLEVEL™ System by Foundation Supportworks

Soil erosion and settlement often cause concrete slabs in patios, sidewalks and driveways to sink into the ground. This type of settlement isn't just unsightly; it can also cause more damage and can be a safety hazard. Water tends to pool on sunken surfaces and unleveled floors cause a trip hazard. Until now, the only solution available to repair sinking slabs was mudjacking, a process that involves drilling holes in the slab to inject a mixture of cement and mud underneath, to raise it back to level. Foundation Supportworks, an industry leader in the development of foundation repair technologies and solutions, proudly introduces the most advanced alternative to mudjacking - the PolyLEVEL™ System. The PolyLEVEL™ System is a state-of-the-art approach to repairing sinking concrete slabs. It combines the concept of mudjacking with the most advanced technology.

Push Pier Installation – Big Sky, Montana

YSS was contacted by the general contractor of this project to consult and install a total quantity of 22 FSI Model 288 push piers in eight concentrated load zones throughout the existing foundation. The original home was demolished and a new contemporary home was designed and scheduled for construction. The new home had a roof pitch of 1.5/12 in an area with a snow load potential of 200 psf. Push piers were specified by the design engineer to reinforce areas of the salvaged foundation in order to support the increased loads. YSS had to be innovative in this project as push piers require a reactive force equal to or greater than the ultimate installation force. Considering that the greater structure was now gone, a temporary load was required for a successful installation. YSS requested that a 20-ton excavator be available on-site to provide this temporary load at each point of installation. The plan was executed perfectly and the piers were installed in five days. Yellowstone Foundation Repair proudly serves the areas of Billings, Bozeman, Missoula, Big Fork, Kalispell, Big Sky, Whitefish, Belgrade, Jackson, Butte and the areas nearby.
