Why Basement Slabs Become Unlevel
When your house was built, the virgin soils were disrupted during excavation and lost their original compactness. The soils were then backfilled as your foundation was built, but they are not as supportive as they were in their original state. Changing weather conditions can cause the soils to expand as they become wet and contract as they dry, which creates voids and makes the soil much less supportive to the heavy weight of your basement slab. In order to permanently fix the problem, the soils must be addressed to avoid future settlement.
Basement Slab Leveling with PolyLevel®
Some homeowners believe that an unlevel basement slab may need to be completely replaced. In most instances that is not the case and it can simply be lifted back into place. Our basement floor leveling team in Knoxville uses PolyLevel® to lift sunken slabs back into place to give you a level basement floor. PolyLevel® is a lightweight, polyurethane foam that is injected into the soils beneath the sunken slab. The foam used by our basement floor leveling team in Knoxville comes out as liquid and fills all voids in the soil, then expands and hardens as it dries. Once it’s dry, it permanently holds your slab in place to prevent further settling and can potentially lift it back to its original position.
Other benefits of our PolyLevel® basement slab leveling in Knoxville include:
- Quick, minimally-invasive installation
- Lightweight material that won’t cause further settlement
- Permanent, waterproof solution that won’t washout
- Cures quickly
