PolyLevel™ Repairs a Backyard Patio in Corona Del Mar, CA

Solution

The homeowner selected Saber Geotechnical Construction Solutions to resolve the issues with their settling patio slabs.  Saber proposed using PolyLEVEL™, to provide a quick, effective, and economical solution for lifting the homeowners patio slabs.  PolyLEVEL™ is a two-part urethane that when combined expands into a rigid foam used to fill voids, stabilize slabs and lift concrete.  Once injected through small 5/8 inch drilled holes in the surface or slabs, a chemical reaction converts the liquid urethane components into a strong, rapidly setting, waterproof foam material.  In it’s foam state, PolyLEVEL™ is light weight, weighing two to six pounds per cubic-foot (pcf).  Opposed to mud-jacking which can weigh upwards of 120 pcf, thus adding a significant burden to the supporting soils under the slab, and potentially contributing to further settlement issues.  With a compressive strength of 10,800 pounds per square foot, PolyLEVEL™ has the strength to support the most demanding residential loads.  For this job, Saber Geotechnical Construction Solutions, installed 357 units of poly urethane and lifted the slab back to it’s original position.  Once the job was completed and with PolyLEVEL’s™ quick set time, the homeowner was able to enjoy the patin approximately 20 minutes after installation.  The PolyLEVEL™ solution is an economical, clean, efficient, environmentally friendly alternative to other traditional concrete repair options, and can be used both outside and inside of the home.
