FOUNDATION REPAIR

The Prolift Process

FOUNDATION REPAIR

Your foundation problems are a direct result of foundation settlement. There is a common misconception that the cause of foundation settlement is due to the design (or under-design) of the structure itself.

Instead, the real culprit of damage can be attributed to changes in soils beneath and surrounding the foundation and structure.

The Prolift Process

1. First, a series of 5/8" holes are drilled in an off-set pattern.

2. A two-part resin-based specialized poly-urethane foam is injected into each drilled hole leaving time for the foam to expand, making sure to fill all voids until the concrete is then lifted back to original height.

3. Once the concrete is preserved, existing voids are perfectly filled and the concrete panel is completely supported and undersealed. The solid, dense polyurethane foam material is unaffected by water eliminating future water issues after work is performed and is complete concrete may be used immediately. The holes are then filled with high-density cement grout and finished to match the existing concrete.

Common causes

Weak bearing soils
Changes to moisture content
Maturing trees and vegetation
Poor compaction
Water washout

Prolift Advantages

Very low viscosity.
Water impermeable polyurethane foam
Cures as fast as 15 seconds.
Small 5/8' holes, versus traditional 2 and 1/2" mud jacking holes
Light weight foam, over most other materials that are heavy and water based and can shrink over time.
Poly-urethane foam is strong, supporting over 50,000 pounds per square foot
Much more cost effective than a complete concrete replacement
Poly-urethane cures quickly, allowing you to walk on the surface within seconds
Unlike other products, poly-urethane will not break down over time
Most void fills take up to an hour with PROLIFT
