The URETEK Method® for Concrete Lifting

URETEK utilizes patented, high-density structural grade geopolymer to lift, realign, and stabilize sunken concrete floors and foundations, trip hazards, mismatched joints. URETEK geopolymer replaces older slabjacking methods such as mudjacking.

URETEK Method® Application Short List

Concrete floor lifting/realignment
Weak soil densification
Equipment pad stabilization
Trip hazard elimination
Concrete vibration/pumping reduction

URETEK Method® Checklist

No Contract Labor – URETEK supervisors and technicians are employees and are thoroughly trained to perform URETEK projects correctly and efficiently.
Financial Commitment – URETEK affiliated companies use the most advanced equipment and materials in the industry.
Supervisors on Site – Most URETEK supervisors have over 10 years experience with structural polymer… Simply put – We know our stuff.
Track Record – Collectively, we have completed over 85,000 successful projects spanning 2 decades.
Insurance – Nationwide affiliates carry all necessary insurance required to perform URETEK concrete lifting, foundation repair, and soil stabilization projects.

URETEK Polymer Characteristics

As URETEK polymer is injected beneath the sunken slab into weak soil strata, a transformation and expansion of the polymer rapidly takes place, solidifying loose soil with capable of lifting extreme structural load.

Rapid curing material gives operators surgical control of concrete realignment and lifting. In many cases, operators can control concrete realignment projects up to 1/8″ tolerance.

URETEK polymer was developed to be a lightweight structural polymer and still maintain powerful lifting force and expansive pressure to perform in harsh soil environments without additional burden placed on distressed soil.

Patented polymer is formulated to resist and drive high moisture content from soil and can be directly injected into flowing water and still maintain good compressive strength and rigidity.

Can your foam be broken down/dissolved with a chemical?
We have an existing building on a raft slab in an area prone to subsidence. Unfortunately an old timber pile is holding up part of the building, causing all sorts of structural problems.
If we could pump your foam under the building, then remove section of slab above the old pile, cut the pile down, replace floor slab (on compressible filler). We then need to lower the building down, is there anyway of injecting a dissolving chemical into the foam?

Paul,

Unfortunately there is very little that will effect our Geopolymer. There is a misconception that what we use is ordinary “foam”. If we did use ordinary “foam”, I would say it might be possible. There are very significant differences in the two products. While visually they may appear similar URETEK has spend over 30 years developing our Geopolymer to meet the challenges that soils present. Such things are structural strength, longevity, environmental safety, and chemical resistance, just to name a few. As for your issue, how about you let us come out and take a look at the issue. We might be able to address the problem another way. We have completed over 85,000 projects, so I’m betting we can either help you, or point you in the right direction.
