The SettleStop PolyRenewal system utilizes a very innovative foam that is incredibly effective for concrete lifting and stabilization. The foam, made from polyurethane, is very lightweight, so it will not exacerbate soil and concrete settlement, and is also waterproof, so that it can protect the soil underneath concrete slabs against the humid and rainy Orlando summers. The material can also protect chemicals from leaking through into your home, such as weed killer or fertilizers. Furthermore, SettleStop PolyRenewal foam cures within 15 to 30 minutes, so you can reap the benefits in less than a day. What makes the SettleStop PolyRenewal so effective, aside from the fact it is lightweight, yet strong, waterproof, and cures quickly, is its ability to expand upon injection. Once the installation experts have drilled a hole into the problem area, the foam is injected and expands within minutes. This allows the foam to lift sunken concrete slabs from below and keep it lifted for years to come. Because this foam expands, it is also able to fill in any voids that exist within the concrete due to soil erosion by the rain. Although the SettleStop PolyRenewal expands to large sizes, experts only need to drill a very small hole in order to inject it, so it is not very invasive to your property! Mudjacking, one of the more traditional methods to resolve concrete lifting and repairs, does not compare to the SettleStop PolyRenewal System offered by Florida Foundation Authority. Mudjacking is only a short-term solution that uses a very dense and heavy material made of soil, sand, and cement, also known as a “slurry,” to do this. However, this heavy material can make the problem worse because it adds weight to the soil below. This can result in further soil compaction and settlement, and thus, concrete sinking can occur again in the future.
