Needless to say, there's been an abundance of content posted on this blog lately. This week we'll round up the best content from our 3 post popular topics: Lifting Slabs, Stabilizing Soil and Sealing Leaks. You may or may not have missed some of these posts the first time around. Regardless, it's always helpful to pause and review this information in order to process it more thoroughly. Today's focus is lifting and stabilizing slabs. Here are three essential recent posts...
Structural Polyurethane Foams For Hurricane Season
By Andy Powell
Per usual, meteorologists predicted a higher than average degree of activity for this year. It’s easy to pile on the pressure for accuracy from the weather people, but last year they accurately predicted and tracked two storms that affected our coasts.
Hurricane Matthew and tropical storm Hermine both caused significant damage in the gulf and on the east coast. Matthew especially caused a tremendous amount of flooding as opposed to wind damage because of the way it tracked parallel to the coast for so long before making landfall.
Commercial and Industrial Slab Lifting
By Andy Powell
Sunken concrete slabs can be lifted back into place with our two-component polymer foam designed to work in wet or dry conditions. The expansion force of the concrete leveling foam coupled with the pressure of a specialized pump generate enough controlled force to lift virtually any structure back into position with 1/8” precision. Polyjacking and concrete lifting can be accomplished at a fraction of the cost and time required for replacement using our AP Lift series of resins.

Stabilizing a House with AP 475
By Andy Powell
Eroded soil and voids underneath a structure can result in settlement and damage to the structure. These dangerous voids can be filled with high strength polyurethane foam that supports up to 14,000 pounds per square foot. The video in the linked article shows the stabilization of the back half of a residence resting on nothing but its frame and thin air.
