Tom Z. had numerous sinking concrete slabs around his home including his front porch and two sidewalk sections. Tom knew how expensive it was to completely replace the slabs, so he waited until the problem continued to grow worse. After walking around the Greer Family Fest, he stumbled upon the Cantey Foundation Specialists tent with information on a system called PolyLEVEL. Marketing Manager Kimberly Mobley explained to Tom that polyurethane could be pumped under the slabs to lift it back into place, and it would be permanently stabilized. After scheduling an appointment, System Design Specialist John Adams arrived at Tom's home to give a free estimate. Tom was surprised to learn that the PolyLEVEL is less expensive than concrete replacement, and it is a more permanent solution!

Randy B. of Westminster, SC built his own home nearly ten years ago. He knew he had packed the dirt well enough underneath the garage concrete slab; however, he started to notice that the slab began to shift and separate.

After asking a few questions, he signed up for the free estimate and inspection right there.

Joan and Kevin M. of Seneca, SC just bought their first home. Being newlyweds they decided to choose a fixer-upper home that they could afford and slowly make renovations on. Joan wanted to be able to use the outdoor patio and possibly even make it enclosed like a screened porch. The patio, however, had begun to sink so before moving forward with any other plans they had to solve this issue. Kevin's father recommended Cantey Foundation Specialists because he had heard excellent talk about them in the community. Joan and Kevin called and made an appointment with System Design Specialist Katherine Dillon. Katherine did her inspection and told Joan and Kevin about Cantey's PolyLevel process. Small holes would be drilled through the concrete slab of the patio where the PolyLevel would be injected. The PolyLevel comes out as a liquid and fills all the void that is causing the concrete slab to sink. Within 15 minutes this liquid hardens and forges a stable foundation while lifting the slab. Production Team Leader Jeremey Wilson and Production Team Member Nick Collins came out and effectively injected the patio with the PolyLevel process. Joan and Kevin are so impressed with the way their patio looks they want to move forward making it into a screened porch.

How PolyLevel® Works
The causes of concrete settlement and sinking are the same whether it's a driveway, walkway, patio, garage floor, or pool deck. As soil underneath a concrete slab shrinks, settles or washes away, this leaves empty space, or voids, beneath the slab. With the soil no longer supporting the slab, the concrete will sink, creating an uneven surface.
PolyLevel uses a high-density polyurethane foam to fill voids and stabilize and lift sinking concrete slabs. The expanding properties of the two-part urethane formula allows for accurate leveling of the slab. The result is a waterproof repair that's much more permanent than mudjacking and other common concrete repair methods.
1
Small 5/8" holes are strategically drilled in the slab.
2
Injection ports are installed.
3
Polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slab.
4
Holes and control joints are sealed.

Driveways
If you have a driveway that's sunken or uneven, replacing it might not be the most cost-effective option. We can use PolyLevel to raise the concrete, creating an even surface and preventing further sinking and cracking. Our driveway leveling process can eliminate unsafe conditions and improve the curb appeal of your home. The life of your driveway will also be extended for years without the need for replacement.
Sidewalks & Walkways
An uneven sidewalk not only looks bad, but it creates a tripping hazard. If the concrete slab is still intact, don't waste your money on replacing the concrete. With PolyLevel, we can raise your sunken sidewalk, allowing you to walk on the sidewalk within an hour. Our sidewalk leveling process saves you time and money.
Patios, Porches & Landings
You shouldn't have to worry about tripping on uneven concrete when relaxing on your patio. You might also notice your table and chairs wobbling because of uneven concrete. Concrete leveling can eliminate these issues and provide a safe, even surface.
Concrete Floors & Slab Foundations
If your home has sloped floors, cracks in floor tiles, gaps below baseboards, gaps at the tops of walls or sticking doors, you might have a concrete settlement problem. Our use of polyurethane foam for concrete floor leveling is a long-lasting alternative to self-leveling treatments.
Concrete Pool Decks
Has your concrete pool deck seen better days? Worried about the cracked, uneven deck causing tripping hazards? PolyLevel can raise your concrete pool deck back to its original position and help restore your backyard pool area into the oasis it once was.
Traditional Concrete Lifting vs PolyLevel®
Before PolyLevel, there were two basic options for lifting and leveling concrete: mudjacking and slab replacement. Both approaches have limitations and disadvantages. PolyLevel offers many advantages over traditional concrete leveling methods:

PolyLevel Foam Injection
Mudjacking or Slabjacking
Cure Time
15 minutes
24 hours or more
Material Weight

100 lbs per cubic foot
Hole Size

1" (size of a quarter)
Waterproof

No
Concrete Replacement
Replacing a concrete slab is both expensive and disruptive. Concrete slabs can take days - or even weeks - to cure. Pouring new concrete over bad soil often delays future problems and leaves unsightly patchwork. PolyLevel material is lightweight, so it won't add weight to weak soil. Best of all, PolyLevel allows for use of concrete within hours, not weeks.
