Soil Stabilization in Kansas City, MO

The soil beneath the concrete in Kansas City, St. Louis, and the surrounding area can become unstable and cause the concrete to become cracked and unlevel. This is caused when the soil becomes too saturated in the rainy season which will cause the soil to heave and swell. Then, during the dry months, the soil will shrink. All of this movement of the soil forms voids and gaps beneath the concrete. This all leads to the settlement, sinking, shifting, and cracking of the concrete that lies on this unstable soil.

Unstable soil is not uncommon in Kansas City, MO due to the fact that the soil is expansive and will shrink and swell depending on the moisture content. Soil stabilization is a specialized field that requires special equipment and products to get the soil beneath your concrete strong enough to withstand the ever-changing moisture content. When the soil is stabilized, this also creates structural stabilization.

Polyjacking.com, the concrete leveling division of Pro Foundation Technology, has a team of experienced professionals along with the product to stabilize the soil. We use the method of polyjacking, which uses a polyurethane foam that is injected into the soil. This foam expands to 20 times its liquid volume to fill the entire void and keep the soil stabilized for many years to come.

Soil and Structural Stabilization Solutions in St. Louis, MO

The method of polyjacking is relatively simple. It involves drilling a small hole into the affected concrete and unstable soil beneath it. Then polyurethane foam is injected that expands to fill the voids and also stabilizes the soil. There are many advantages to using polyurethane foam over other methods like mudjacking. Some of these advantages are:

• Creates a moisture-seal barrier to eliminate water penetration
• By expanding 20 times its liquid volume, polyurethane moves laterally to fill the entire void
• Less disruption since it has a quick drying time
• It is lighter weight and adds only 3-5 pounds per cubic foot
• Provides a permanent solution
