Foam Filling for Concrete Repair A Modern Solution for Lasting Results
1. Introduction: What is Foam Filling and Why It Matters
Concrete issues such as settling, cracking, and sinking are more than cosmetic—they compromise safety, reduce property value, and lead to expensive repairs if ignored. Traditional concrete repair methods often require demolition, long curing times, and heavy equipment. Foam filling, on the other hand, offers a minimally invasive, fast-acting, and durable solution.
Foam filling uses high-density polyurethane foam injected underneath concrete surfaces to lift and stabilize them. As the foam expands, it fills voids, compacts loose soils, and restores concrete to its original position. At Top Level Ohio, we specialize exclusively in polyurethane foam injection to deliver fast, clean, and long-lasting results.
2. How Foam Filling Works: A Breakdown of the Process
Foam filling, also known as polyurethane foam injection, involves precise and efficient steps that provide strong, permanent solutions for sunken or unstable concrete.
Step-by-Step Process:
- Site Inspection: Our team assesses the severity of the settlement and identifies voids or unstable soils beneath the concrete.
- Drilling Access Holes: Small holes about the size of a dime are drilled into the affected concrete.
- Foam Injection: A two-part polyurethane foam is injected through the holes. It expands rapidly upon contact.
- Lifting & Leveling: As the foam expands, it lifts the concrete back to its original level and fills any underlying voids.
- Curing: The foam cures within 15 minutes, offering instant structural support.
- Sealing & Cleanup: Holes are patched, and the area is cleaned up, often within just a couple of hours.
Benefits:
- Lightweight yet extremely strong
- Waterproof and durable
- Fast-curing
- Minimal disruption to property
- Precision lifting
