Void Fill

Why Do I Need Void Filling?

Void formation beneath concrete slabs can lead to significant problems, even if the surface appears intact. Voids are empty spaces that form beneath concrete due to soil erosion, poor compaction, or water washing away supporting materials. Over time, these voids can cause concrete slabs to sink, crack, or become unstable.

Unaddressed voids not only compromise the integrity of your concrete surfaces but also pose safety hazards. Whether it’s a driveway, sidewalk, patio, or foundation slab, voids can lead to uneven surfaces, trip hazards, and even structural damage. Filling these voids is crucial for restoring stability and preventing further issues.

Signs You May Need Void Filling:

• Sinking Concrete: Portions of slabs that have visibly sunk or settled indicate voids beneath the surface.
• Cracks in the Slab: Stress cracks often appear when the concrete is no longer fully supported.
• Hollow Sound: Tapping the concrete produces a hollow noise, suggesting a lack of soil support underneath.
• Pooling Water: Water collecting around or under the slab may have washed soil away, leaving a void.

How Does Void Filling Work?

Void filling uses polyurethane foam injection to fill and stabilize the empty spaces beneath concrete. This process involves injecting a high-density, expanding foam directly into the void. As the foam expands, it fills the space, compresses the surrounding soil, and restores support to the concrete slab above.

This method is precise, minimally invasive, and fast. Unlike traditional methods, polyurethane foam cures quickly, providing immediate results with little to no downtime.

Benefits of Void Filling

• Restores Stability: Re-supports concrete slabs, preventing further sinking or cracking.
• Prevents Structural Damage: Addresses underlying voids to protect your home’s foundation and other structures.
• Cost-Effective: Avoids the need for costly slab replacement by repairing the issue underneath.
• Quick and Clean: The process is fast, with minimal disruption to your property or daily routine.
• Durable Solution: Polyurethane foam is moisture-resistant and long-lasting, ensuring a permanent fix.
