Not all of our projects involve raising concrete, sometimes we're contracted to fill voids beneath slabs. With the right materials and techniques, we can properly support all types of concrete structures in order to prevent future cracking and settlement. In this particular case, a concrete crawlspace floor had severe hollow spots beneath it. The problem had begun several years ago when a drainage pipe ruptured beneath the floor and washed out the sub-base. Since all we wanted to do was fill the voids and provide support, we utilized a specially designed polyurethane with a very slow reaction time. This enabled us to fill very large voids (which were extensive) without actually lifting the slab. Our normal concrete raising materials fully react in about 30-seconds, this void filling material reacts over the course of about 100-seconds. This project was conducted in a clean, neat and safe manner while people were in the home, and without any disturbance to the occupants.

When you're getting quotes to have your concrete raised, you may be doing so for the very first time. This means you could be just learning about the different ways and materials used to lift and support sunken concrete. Of course, when you consult with a contractor, they will likely try to "sell you" on the particular services they provide. You can end up being bombarded with various marketing techniques, or "salesmanship" as some might say. We've put together this video in an attempt to cut through some of the confusion resulting from these marketing tactics and the plethora of misinformation floating around. Our marketing materials are based upon fact, which means we can back up what we say. Here are some of the questions we're sometimes asked: - Does concrete raising come with a warranty? - Can concrete lifting materials washout over time? - Is polyurethane biodegradable? - Will you drill holes in my concrete? - Will polyurethane harm the ground, my flowers, or garden? - Should I ask contractors what pumping pressure their equipment is capable of? - Which method requires fewer holes? - Is poly foam strong enough to raise my concrete? - Are concrete lifting materials hazardous? - Is polyurethane more expensive than mudjacking? - Why do some companies still offer mudjacking? The old saying "Talk is cheap!" is so true! So, when a salesman tells you their way is best, it's critically important you do your own homework instead of simply taking someone's word for it. =================================== Click below to SUBSCRIBE to our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/AcmeConcreteInc?sub_confirmation=1 ================================== Visit our WEBSITE: Acme Concrete Raising & Repair Inc. https://www.AcmeConcreteInc.com ================================== Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AcmeConcreteInc ================================== Visit Us in Person: Acme Concrete Raising & Repair Inc. 824 S Main Street Ste. 105 Crystal Lake, IL 60014 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMt5qKOu_8A

No! Our cured polyurethane is listed as non-hazardous, inert, and non-leaching. We regularly raise and support concrete slabs bordering flower and vegetable gardens. In fact, to better demonstrate, researchers have proven that certain crops, when planted directly into polyurethane, grow up to 10 times faster than when in soil. =================================== Click below to SUBSCRIBE to our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/AcmeConcreteInc?sub_confirmation=1 ================================== Visit our WEBSITE: Acme Concrete Raising & Repair Inc. https://www.AcmeConcreteInc.com ================================== Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AcmeConcreteInc ================================== Visit Us in Person: Acme Concrete Raising & Repair Inc. 824 S Main Street Ste. 105 Crystal Lake, IL 60014 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SL4HgDfyiPg
