Solving Concrete Settlement with Precision and Strength
In a warehouse or industrial setting, even the slightest floor unevenness can become a big problem. From creating safety hazards for workers to damaging equipment and inventory, concrete settlement can impact your bottom line and operational efficiency. That’s where concrete leveling with polyurethane foam comes in.
At Sealtite Insulation & Slabjacking, we specialize in leveling warehouse floors using high-density polyurethane foam—an innovative method designed not only to lift concrete but to provide lasting strength under heavy loads.
The Problem: Concrete Settlement in Warehouses
Warehouse floors take a beating. Between constant foot traffic, forklift movement, racking systems, and machinery, the concrete is under constant stress. Over time, the soil beneath the slab can:
-
Erode due to water infiltration
-
Compress under the weight of stored materials and machinery
-
Settle unevenly due to poor soil compaction
This results in concrete settlement, where parts of the floor sink, tilt, or crack. These issues are more than cosmetic—they can lead to:
-
Equipment malfunction or damage
-
Inventory instability
-
Safety hazards
-
Increased wear on vehicles like forklifts
-
Operational downtime
The Solution: Concrete Leveling with Polyurethane Foam
Traditional methods like ripping out and replacing concrete are time-consuming and expensive. Instead, concrete leveling with polyurethane foam offers a fast, durable, and cost-effective alternative.
Here’s how it works:
-
Small holes are drilled into the concrete slab.
-
Polyurethane foam is injected through the holes into the voids beneath the surface.
-
As the foam expands, it compacts loose soils and lifts the slab precisely.
-
The area is ready for normal warehouse use typically within 30 minutes.
Why Polyurethane Foam is Ideal for Heavy Loads
Polyurethane foam isn’t just convenient—it’s engineered for strength. Here’s why it works so well in industrial environments:
-
High-Density Support: Industrial-grade foam has the compression strength to support forklifts, pallet racks, and heavy machinery without shrinking or shifting.
-
Void-Filling Capabilities: Foam fills every gap beneath the slab, creating uniform support and preventing future settlement.
-
Long-Lasting Durability: Once cured, the foam resists moisture, chemical corrosion, and breakdown over time.
-
Minimal Disruption: With fast cure times and minimal mess, your facility can remain operational during most repairs.
