The floor of Brownsville, Wisconsin farm milk house had cracked and settled.  The settled floor was putting additional pressure on the bulk tank causing damage to the very expensive equipment.  Because of regulations the milk house was washed down three times a day which caused the slab to settle more and more with the water introduced under the slab.  An additional challenge to this repair was the heating system embedded within the slab.

In conjunction with the local volunteer fire department a infra red camera was used to mark where the in-floor heating tubes were located.  After 15 minutes of the floor being turned on the pluming could be located and holes drilled far enough away from the pex tube to avoid any damage.

Because holes could not be drilled directly under the bulk tank polyurethane was the clear choice for this repair.  Holes were drilled on either side of the tank.  The polyurethane material traveled under the tank expanding to fill the voids and lifted the settled floor.  As seen in the video the expansion of the material pushes out the water that was present in the voids.  The waterproof polyurethane material also created a barrier for any additional water to avoid future settlement.
