4.9 Concrete: The Services We Provide
Concrete lifting and leveling is a specialized technique designed to address uneven or sunken concrete surfaces. Over time, factors such as soil erosion, settling, or changes in moisture levels can cause concrete slabs to shift, creating uneven surfaces that pose safety hazards and compromise the aesthetics of a property.
Services We Offer
At Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair, we offer several different services to repair, level, or lift the concrete around your home. While concrete can be a malleable substance before it hardens, after is a completely different story. Once the concrete hardens, it becomes susceptible to cracking and settling. This leads to uneven, damaged concrete, which can cause trips and falls. This makes your concrete a liability to you and your house guests. In addition to the concrete being dangerous, it is also an unpleasant sight. Thankfully, we have services that can help repair your damaged concrete.
Lift & Level Concrete: PolyLevel
One of the fastest methods to level and lift concrete is the innovative PolyLevel technique. This process involves drilling penny-sized holes into the concrete slab. A solution of polyurethane is pumped into the hole where it becomes a foam that begins to fill the void under the concrete. Once it completely fills the void, it will spread up to lift the concrete to as close to its original position as possible. From the time the foam is injected to when it has completely cured only takes 15 minutes. After that, you can walk, run, and drive over the concrete slab without fear of it moving or settling. PolyLevel is long-lasting and holds up well in the elements.
Seal Cracks: NexusPro
For repairing cracked concrete, we have another solution for those jobs. The NexusPro solution is a silicone-based sealant that is used on joints and cracks in the concrete. This solution is specially designed to resist UV rays, unlike traditional polyurethane methods. It provides long-lasting flexibility, and it is also resistant to the elements. This means it won’t crack, dry out, or bubble and can hold up even in the harshest weather conditions. The installation process is also quick. The cracks are drilled and smoothed. They are then prepared with a non-absorbent backer rod filler. After this, our skilled crew injects the prepared crack with the NexusPro sealant. The cracks are then sprinkled into a thin layer or native sand, ensuring the concrete has a uniform finish. Like PolyLevel, the curing process is short, lasting only an hour compared to the 24 to 72 hours polyurethane-based sealants take. The NexusPro solution is long-lasting, can be applied year-round, and is not affected by extreme temperatures.
Seal & Protect: SealantPro
Another state-of-the-art sealant that we offer is SealantPro. This innovative material is designed to bond with concrete on a molecular level, allowing it to permanently protect the concrete. This sealant only needs to be applied to the concrete once. After this application, the concrete is protected from dirt, water, and other things that might contaminate the concrete. SealantPro dries quickly; and, within 6 hours, it is completely cured. Sealing your concrete protects it from moisture, which seeps into untreated concrete where it can weaken the concrete. Another benefit of using a sealant like SealantPro on your driveway is the protection it will provide against discoloration, flaking, and cracking. Also, unlike sealant you can buy in store, SealantPro extends the life of your concrete by 3 to 5 times.
Seal & Color: DecoShield
DecoShield, our other sealant, is a translucent tinted sealant, which improves the visual appearance of concrete. This sealant is ideal for concrete that has become discolored or stained due to the uneven appearance some concrete repair methods leave behind. DecoShield not only makes your concrete more appealing, it also provides protection against chemicals, moisture, and mildew. DecoShield also won’t chip or flake over time. This sealant is ideal for homeowners looking for a sealant that enhances the appearance of your untreated concrete. With six color options, the DecoShield is ideal for homeowners who want to enhance the durability and appearance of their concrete.
