Concrete & Poly Lifting in Elkhart, Iowa

In Elkhart, concrete often sinks or becomes uneven due to the local soil conditions in Polk County. Iowa's clay-rich soils, formed from glacial till and loess, expand when wet and contract when dry. This constant shifting, coupled with freeze-thaw cycles, can erode the soil beneath concrete slabs, leading to voids and settlement.

The poly lifting process involves drilling small holes into the sunken concrete slab and injecting a high-density polyurethane foam beneath it. This foam expands, filling voids and lifting the concrete back to its original level. The process is typically quick, often completed within a few hours to a day, with minimal disruption and immediate usability of the repaired area.

The cost of concrete and poly lifting varies depending on the scope and severity of the project. However, it is generally more cost-effective and less invasive than traditional concrete replacement.
