Why Should You Invest In PolyRenewal™ Injections?

While concrete damage like cracks and uneven slabs must be promptly and properly fixed, you have many repair options.

In another article, we compared and contrasted mudjacking and polyurethane injections.

In this article, we dig deeper into other methods, explaining why they are no match for our proprietary PolyRenewal™ polyurethane injection system.

Let’s dive in!

What Is PolyRenewal™ and Why Should I Invest In It?

Groundworks’ exclusive PolyRenewal™ system is an expanding polyurethane foam that fills voids under your concrete slabs. The lightweight, yet durable foam works twofold to stabilize underlying soil while lifting and leveling the above concrete.

Among its many advantages, this minimally invasive process only requires small holes and unobtrusive equipment to implement our eco-friendly, quick-curing, long-lasting polyurethane foam.

Once you invest in our PolyRenewal™ system, you won’t have to worry about concrete problems (in the area where it was installed) again. There’s no need to keep injecting polyurethane foam in the same place over and over, saving you time, money, and stress. PolyRenewal™ is engineered to stand the test of time, weather the elements, and not wash out or settle beneath concrete.

Other Repair Methods and Why They Aren’t the Answer

You have other options to repair your damaged concrete, but they’re not as reliable. They include:

  • Mudjacking: Heavy material pumped under the concrete weighs down the soil, takes a considerable amount of time to cure, and does not fully fill gaps. The process is invasive, expensive, time-consuming, and ultimately not effective.
  • Replacement: Demolishing existing concrete and repouring cement gives your concrete a fresh face, but the same problems will happen again. Cement takes a long time to dry and can be costly.
  • Self-Leveling Concrete: Cement treated with polymers is easy enough to implement for DIY patch jobs, but self-leveling concrete comes with a host of issues, including improperly mixing and pouring the material.
  • Other Patching, Caulking, and Overlay Systems: These methods only cover up cosmetic issues like cracks and holes.

The bottom line: These solutions are temporary fixes that must be repeatedly purchased and installed. This costs you time and money, plus they do not address the underlying causes of damage.

What to Know Next

Of the various concrete repair options, PolyRenewal™ stands out as the best choice. Other methods fail, but our proprietary solution lasts. Investing in PolyRenewal™ now saves you money in the future.

Jorge, Juan and Erick provided a great install experience. The communication and expectations were clear. The work was clean and completed ahead of schedule. The entire crew was professional and cleaned up the worksite at the end of each day. I’d recommend Groundworks for anyone need crawlspace encapsulation service.

From estimate to completion, Tyler and Curtis were extremely informative and professional. Tyler was very thorough in explaining the process and assisting with the financing to get us started and Curtis and his team worked diligently to get the project completed, keeping us informed as to their progress at the end of each day. While this wasn’t something we expected or had planned for, we are grateful for Ohio Basement Authority’s work in addressing the problem by getting us scheduled quickly, stabilizing our house and providing us with a with a sense of relief going forward. We wouldn’t hesitate in referring Ohio Basement Authority to anyone with similar issues that need addressed.

Mark Dougherty was extremely professional and his attention to detail was incredible. Mark phoned ahead and even with the terrible weather showed up on time. Mark took the time to explain the process very well and answered all the questions I had with ease.
