Void Fill
Improperly compacted soils experience settling and erosion and often causes large voids under overlying concrete structures. Heavy equipment and machinery can further weaken the substrate causing voids underneath the surface of the concrete as well. Often times these voids go unnoticed and the concrete ultimately fails and falls into the void below. Voids under porches and patios also provide an ideal home for mice, snakes, rabbits, skunks and animals of all kinds. Polyurethane is injected to fill these voids, support the overlying concrete and prevent future rodent intrusion. Do you need help preventing settling and rodent intrusion?

When your home is originally built, the soil can go through a tumultuous experience. For that reason, the soil can often take years to properly compact and settle in. Due to that, voids underneath your flatwork often are created. In addition, animals and small critters oftentimes use these voids as a shelter. Subsequently, they like to eat from your nearby gardens and vegetation. Equally important to know, they are known to do even more tunneling and burrowing that grows the void even more. In the event that the void grows too large, the concrete could ultimately fail to leave you with a much larger problem than a void. In any case, don’t let those voids linger, call Liftech today for a free estimate.
Voids Under Your Concrete
What do I do if there is a void underneath my concrete?
In the event that voids are starting to form underneath your concrete, don’t panic! In reality, if identified early voids are easily correctible and won’t lead to long term damage. Whereas if you leave a void untouched for years more serious damage can start to occur. In order to fix voids and prevent future ones, Liftech injects polyurethane foam that rapidly sets and fills every foid pocket. Specifically, it is injected as a liquid that quickly turns to an expanding foam so it expands into every little nook and cranny underneath your concrete. In addition, this foam is much more durable than the original soil or any mudjacking alternative. Therefore you wont have to worry about future voids for years to come.
