Geofoam, a dense foam designed for subterranean purposes, serves as an effective alternative to traditional materials like mud or shotcrete. Unlike heavier options, such as mud or shotcrete, spray foam is lightweight while effectively adhering to all surfaces. This makes it a superior choice for applications like slab jacking (lifting heavy objects by injecting material underneath) or stabilizing the ground beneath structures.
We utilize a unique foam injected under high pressure. When this foam is pumped into the ground through pre-drilled ports, it penetrates deep into the soil, locating available channels and subsequently curing. This method has proven effective in raising settling foundations.
Spray-On Geofoam offers a distinct advantage. While heavy materials like mud or shotcrete also require injection into the ground, they lack the expansive properties of our foam. Once the geofoam is inserted into the ground, it independently performs the heavy lifting tasks on your foundation.
There are other reasons for using geofoam, too. Even though closed-cell foam is very dense, it’s much lighter when compared to the conventional mudjacking to fix sinking concrete structures. The reason the structure is sinking in the first place is because of weight.
Adding more heavy mud will mitigate settled earth, while geofoam is lightweight and will grow to enough pressure to lift concrete and also stabilize the soil underneath. Because it adheres to almost any kind of material, the earth will be held together during the next flood or quake.
By injecting foam, you can achieve the same results as pouring a new foundation, saving thousands of dollars and time. Our foam does all the work for you and provides long-lasting results.
Re-pouring your foundation will require lifting the building and holding it in place while the new foundation is dug out and re-poured. Our Geofoam requires less equipment, manpower, and time while saving you the mess of tearing up yards and flower beds in order to get the job done.
