Cracked Patio Repair in the Greater Little Rock Area

Is your patio looking sad? Does it have cracks or are parts of it settling and uneven?

We have a solution that can repair and revitalize your cracked patio: polyurethane concrete leveling.

Problems a Cracked Patio Can Cause

When you have a damaged patio, with cracks and uneven areas, the problems go beyond poor aesthetics. To start with, cracked and uneven concrete poses a tripping hazard for your family.

In addition, if your concrete cracks are caused by the slab sinking and settling and the underlying cause isn’t addressed, they will continue to grow and expand. This could shorten the lifespan of your patio and force a more expensive solution, like completely tearing out the concrete and pouring a new slab.

And even if you do that, you might find the same issue recurring if the underlying issues aren’t solved.

Finally, your patio likely abuts your home, making its grading a key part of your home’s water drainage system. If the slab cracks are near your foundation, or if the slab sinks in such a way that the water begins to drain toward your home, it can cause serious structural issues as well as livability concerns.

Other Problems to Be on the Lookout For

In addition to concrete cracks, there are other problems that can occur with your concrete slab patio. These could include: 

• Voids beneath the concrete: Airlift can use GPR (ground penetrating radar) to detect if you have voids beneath your patio.
• Concrete slab settlement: Too much water can expand soil and move the concrete above it. Soil can also shrink when drought conditions are present, causing the concrete above it to sink and settle.
• Buckling concrete: Tree roots can grow underneath your patio, causing the concrete above it to buckle. 
• Slab cracks: This type of cracking is often a result of poor curing when the original concrete was poured. 

All of these issues can be addressed with polyurethane concrete repair. Let’s take a closer look at the process and how it can help. 

How Does Polyurethane Concrete Repair Work?

There are several ways in which polyurethane foam can be applied to repair various concrete issues. When you need a slab leveled or void filled, small holes will be drilled in an equally spaced pattern around the slab.

Once that is complete, we will use our equipment to insert the polyurethane foam through those holes evenly underneath the whole area that needs to be raised and leveled. This will fill the voids and raise the concrete eliminating the settled area.

The best part is using polyurethane foam provides a permanent repair solution for your sunken concrete. Once applied, it will last a lifetime! Polyurethane foam can also be used for soil stabilization and to fill those unwanted concrete cracks, thus revitalizing your patio for you to enjoy for years to come with your family.
