Voids Under Concrete in Kansas City and St. Louis

The concrete in the St. Louis and Kansas City area can experience problems due to the changing moisture content in the soil beneath the concrete. When this expansive soil gets too wet, it heaves and, when it becomes too dry, it shrinks. These constant changes leave voids beneath the concrete around your St. Louis, Kansas City, and surrounding area homes and businesses. This causes the concrete to crack and settle into the voids.

The professionals at Polyjacking.com, the concrete leveling division of Pro Foundation Technology, use Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to detect underground voids. It is fast, accurate, and inexpensive. GPR uses a high-frequency radar antenna and advanced signal software to accurately locate the voids underneath the concrete. GPR also detects embedded utilities, conduit, PVC, rebar, and tension cables. This allows for accurate detection as to where the voids are. GPR is less costly than X-ray detection and doesn't use harmful radiation.

GPR units are portable and provide an instant location. When the GPR accurately detects these voids, the experts can start the repair process and get the voids filled and the concrete level and stabilized.

Void Repair in Kansas City and St. Louis

Polyjacking.com uses high-density polyurethane foam to fill the voids and stabilize the concrete. Using the right poly equipment, this method is relatively simple and much more economical than replacing concrete and more effective than mudjacking. This method includes:

1. Drilling a small 5/8" hole in the affected concrete.
2. The polyurethane foam is injected into the hole into the void beneath the concrete. This polyurethane foam expands to fill the void.
3. The holes are filled and the site cleaned up.
4. Polyurethane foam has a short hardening time so the surface is ready for use in about 15 minutes. The polyurethane material is impervious to water preventing future problems.

This method of void repair can be done in any place that requires concrete repair including:

• Apartment buildings
• Parking lots
• Shopping malls
• Sports arenas
• Industrial
• Residential
• Airports
• Strip malls
• Factories
