Featured at the 2011 WCHSFA (Wisconsin County Highway Superintendents and Foreman’s Association) Conference

RaiseRite brought a mobile demonstration of how concrete can be raised with polyurethane foam.

Holes were drilled, the foam was injected under the slab and the slab was raised.

Raising and stabilizing low spots in streets, roadways and highways can be completed in hours and not days or months.

Traditionally these slabs would be torn out and replaced.  RaiseRite can quickly and efficiently repair these slabs saving time and expenses associated with tearing out slabs.

The 2011 Conference was a great success.  Many counties saw for themselves how easy it is to repair concrete with foam and how much money and times they can save.

RaiseRite will also be attending the 2012 Conference and look forward to again demonstrating this revolutionary new repair method.

The following video demonstrates how a highway low spot can be repaired with foam!

If the weather continues to cooperate crews should be out the beginning of April to start raising concrete.

Again this year RaiseRite will be offering two types of concrete raising.  Mud or Foam.  Which one should you choose?  Read more about the difference between the two methods

Looking for home improvement projects for this spring?
What can I do to improve the value of my home?

Ask any Realtor what you should do to improve the value of the home and they will say – Curb Appeal.  Plant beautiful flowers and paint the front door, but don’t forget to level your sunken slabs of concrete.

Not only a liability, sunken concrete looks bad from the street.  If you are trying to sell your property the last thing you want is to have a potential buyer pull up your house and leave before they even get out of the car.  Curb appeal is important to the value of your home.

Hope to see you there!

Solid slabs of concrete can be raise and stabilized.  Gravel areas or blacktop are unable to

be repaired and need to be replaced and reinstalled to remedy settling issues.

Slabs of concrete that are too badly cracked may also be to far damaged to lift.

If you are not sure if your concrete can be raised, call RaiseRite for a Free Estimate.  Raising settled concrete can be half the cost of replacing it with less damage to your landscaping and downtime.

Now that the work is completed it is the homeowner’s responsibility to caulk the seams of the sections that were repaired, or backfill against any exposed areas to contain the material and prevent future sinking.  

Self leveling cement caulk can be purchased at a home improvement store and works great for sealing joints.  Using a silicone based pourable self leveling caulk is recommended.

If a crack is very large sand can be put down before adding the caulk to the top to use less material.

Preventing water from going under the slab is key to preserving the repaired slab.  Make sure that your downspouts are correctly placed to assure water runs away from your concrete slabs or foundation.

Taking these suggested steps for preserving your raised concrete is a condition of your RaiseRite warranty.

After the concrete is raised with mudjacking material, a foam plug is inserted into the hole, and is patched over with cement. The concrete is ready for use immediately, it is however recommended to allow the patch material to set up before use which is typically a couple of hours.

This foam plugs helps RaiseRite patch the holes and also acts like a shock absorber when slabs are affected by the frost cycle.  Holes that are not patched with foam can pop out when the material and earth under the slab expands from freezing.

When concrete is raised with polyurethane foam (FoamJacking) these plugs are not used as the material used for raising the slab replaces the inserted foam plug as a shock absorber.

The RaiseRite trucks remains parked on the street while the concrete repair crew maneuvers the equipment to the site requiring repair. The hydraulic mudpump is roughly the size of a riding lawn mower. Armed with many lengths of hose, the mudjacking crew can reach just about anywhere.

If you are having polyurethane used to repair
your concrete a hose is brought from the truck/trailer to the site without driving equipment on your lawn.

What kind of material do you use to raise concrete?

Mudjacking material is a sand based grout that will not lose its density. Combined with portland cement this non-organic mixture is pumped under the slab of concrete.  Different from organic material, RaiseRite’s slurry will not decompose or breakdown.

Polyurethane material is injected as a liquid that sets up as a rigid foam.  This foam will NEVER loose density or shrink.  This material is lighter than traditional mudjacking material and required less holes to install.  Even better, the holes are smaller creating a virtually invisible repair!

RaiseRite uses the industry’s best polyurethane material that is manufactured by HMI.

On the day of your work, holes are strategically drilled every 3-5 feet in the settled area.  Less holes are typically drilled for polyurethane applications.  Holes are necessary to lift slabs, drilling holes cannot be avoided.

As demonstrated in this image polyurethane concrete raising (FoamJacking) uses smaller holes and typically fewer holes making your repair nearly invisible.
