PolyLevel® Snippets

PolyLevel® for Floor Crack Repair

Concrete slab piers being used underneath a floor to help stabilize the floor permanently.

Notice how the piers can extend deep below the floor, extending until they reach competent supporting soils.

PolyLevel® expanding foam is injected underneath the slab to raise the floor back to a level position.

The above photo shows how the voids underneath the floor slab have been filled with high-density foam.

The problem:

Your concrete slab floor is showing signs of sinking, sagging, or settling. Your floor may be cracking, or the walls may be separating from the floor below or ceiling above.

Telltale signs:

• Cracks in the concrete floor
• Floors dropping and separating from the walls, forming a gap between the floor and wall
• Interior walls separating from the ceiling, forming a gap between the wall and ceiling
• Walls pulling away from adjacent walls
• Interior wall cracks, commonly off the corners of interior doors

Two options for repairing sinking concrete slabs:

1. Install a slab pier system that connects the slab to stable soil or bedrock. Once installed, the system makes it possible to re-level settled slab sections.
2. Raise settled concrete using PolyLevel® expanding foam. Injecting this high-density foam beneath the slab will fill voids and consolidate weak soil while also raising settled slabs back to their original position.

SentrySeal®

Added protection with SentrySeal® exterior moisture barrier

Some foundation repairs (like installing foundation piers to stabilize and raise a settled foundation wall) require exterior excavation. When this excavation work exposes the foundation wall, it’s an excellent opportunity to improve moisture management by installing the SentrySeal® moisture barrier.

Unlike water-resistant coatings that can vary in thickness because of uneven application, SentrySeal® is thick (60mil) and uniform, presenting no weak spots. For a small amount of extra expense, SentrySeal® offers a major amount of extra moisture protection.
