Mix a small batch of fast setting concrete.
Do yourself concrete lifting.
Fast setting concrete is necessary to patch the holes when you re finished filling them up.
Foam jacking also known as polyfoam or polyjacking is a modern version of mudjacking that levels concrete slabs in a less invasive way.
With a concrete drill or masonry bit drill small holes into the sunken area and slowly pour a thin mixture of cement into the holes.
In time however concrete slabs can crack or sink due to pressure or from movement during settling.
The first step is to drill holes in the problem concrete.
Concrete lifting with a small sledge hammer brick chisel and drill this is another method for doing it yourself.
Cut through slab with gas powered saw fitted with 12 inch diamond blade.
You will want to add some reinforcement wire to prevent fracturing and probably use a surface preparing glue.
Get a carpenter s level to make sure that you don t overfill the slab too high.
Otherwise you could crack the concrete.
Use diamond tipped core drill to bore several large diameter holes through slab.
Place the concrete into a grout bag and inject it into the holes filling them up to the level of the slab s surface.
Injection holes are strategically drilled into the concrete slab s that requires lifting.
Hack to fix sunken concrete.
Add some of the concrete dust removed from the holes after drilling to the mix to tint the mix the same color as the slab.
Basically you clean the concrete buy a bag of cement mix it up and dump it on top finish it yourself.
Geolift works in three steps.
And yes it is a foam just like your beloved spray foam.
High density polyurethane foam is injected into holes that expand to lift and level the sunken concrete.
The equipment is contained in a trailer rig with a long hose capable of reaching direct to the concrete slab location.
Hiring a professional service to lift or jack up the slab can be costly.
Polyurethane foam is then injected under the slab filling voids and raising it to the correct level.
Use the brick chisel and sledgehammer to undercut any edges of the sunken concrete as necessary.
Polyfoam is stronger and longer lasting than traditional mudjacking.
Lifting a sunken slab may be necessary to level the surface.
That ll allow the sunken slab to lift up.
Geolift can help to lift existing concrete surfaces and fix those problem areas around your house with much less labor.
