CONCRETE LIFTING WITH POLYLEVEL®
Knoxville homeowners often have to deal with sunken concrete around their properties. Garage floors, basement slabs, sidewalks, and driveways can all be affected by concrete that’s sinking into the ground. Sunken concrete is not only unsightly, but it also poses a risk of tripping and falling, so it’s important to address the issue quickly. You may need to replace the entire concrete slab if the damage is severe, but many situations can be resolved by concrete lifting with PolyLevel®. Our Knoxville team provides this service as an alternate solution that is both noninvasive and cost-effective.

CAUSES OF SINKING CONCRETE
Sunken concrete is mostly caused by the integrity of the soil just beneath the surface. The soil under the concrete slab can expand and contract from weather conditions like excessive precipitation and extremely dry seasons. The weight of the concrete becomes too heavy for the soil to support, and the slab caves into the ground. Some homeowners might choose a temporary fix to level their concrete, but it’s better to find a permanent solution that addresses the root problem of the shifting soil.
THE LONG-LASTING RESULTS OF POLYLEVEL®
Mudjacking is a traditional method of concrete leveling, but the results are temporary because the material used can break down over time. With mudjacking, the concrete slab can eventually sink again, so it’s best to use a long-term solution like PolyLevel®. Our Knoxville team uses a PolyLevel® process that injects waterproof polyurethane foam into the soil that supports the sunken concrete. The soil is then stabilized and gives you a more permanent solution.
