Concrete & Poly Lifting in Story City, Iowa

Concrete in Story City often sinks due to the expansive clay soils prevalent in Story County. These soils swell when wet and shrink when dry, creating voids beneath concrete slabs that lead to settlement. Additionally, poor drainage and water accumulation around foundations can erode soil, further contributing to sinking concrete.

Poly lifting, also known as polyjacking, involves injecting a lightweight, expanding polyurethane foam beneath the sunken concrete slab through small drilled holes. This foam expands to fill voids and gently lifts the concrete back to its original position. Most poly lifting projects are completed within a few hours, with the concrete ready for use the same day.

The cost of concrete lifting varies depending on the scope of the project, but it is generally more cost-effective and less disruptive than full concrete replacement.
