How PolyLevel Foam Injection Works
Clay Soil, Moisture Swings, and Slab Voids
North Texas clay soil expands after heavy rain and shrinks during dry periods. Those moisture swings can leave voids under driveways, sidewalks, patios, pool decks, and slabs across the Greater Dallas-Fort Worth service area.
If you are comparing local options, see our guides to concrete leveling in Dallas, concrete leveling in Frisco, and concrete leveling in McKinney. PolyLevel uses high-density polyurethane foam to fill voids, stabilize settled slabs, and lift concrete with control.
Fast 15-Minute Cure Time
PolyLevel foam injection is designed to cure in about 15 minutes, so repaired concrete can return to service quickly. Solid Base Foundations can evaluate the slab and recommend the right repair path during a free estimate.
1.
Small 5/8” holes are strategically drilled in the slab.
2.
Injection ports are installed.
3.
Polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slab.
4.
Holes and control joints are sealed.

Driveways
If you have a driveway that’s sunken or uneven, replacing it might not be the most cost-effective option. We can use PolyLevel to raise the concrete, creating an even surface and preventing further sinking and cracking. Our driveway leveling process can eliminate unsafe conditions and improve the curb appeal of your home. The life of your driveway will also be extended for years without the need for replacement.
Sidewalks & Walkways
An uneven sidewalk not only looks bad, but it creates a tripping hazard. If the concrete slab is still intact, don’t waste your money on replacing the concrete. With PolyLevel, we can raise your sunken sidewalk, allowing you to walk on the sidewalk within an hour. Our sidewalk leveling process saves you time and money.
Patios, Porches & Landings
You shouldn’t have to worry about tripping on uneven concrete when relaxing on your patio. You might also notice your table and chairs wobbling because of uneven concrete. Concrete leveling can eliminate these issues and provide a safe, even surface.
Concrete Floors & Slab Foundations
If your home has sloped floors, cracks in floor tiles, gaps below baseboards, gaps at the tops of walls or sticking doors, you might have a concrete settlement problem. Our use of polyurethane foam for concrete floor leveling is a long-lasting alternative to self-leveling treatments.
Concrete Pool Decks
Has your concrete pool deck seen better days? Worried about the cracked, uneven deck causing tripping hazards? PolyLevel can raise your concrete pool deck back to its original position and help restore your backyard pool area into the oasis it once was.Pool Deck Repair
Causes of a sinking concrete pool deck
Many concrete pool decks are prone to settling because of the pool construction process. The backfill soil that’s added around the pool excavation will not be as dense or well-compacted as the undisturbed soil. When a heavy concrete slab is poured around the pool, loose soil will often compress under the slab’s weight, causing sections of the concrete to sink or settle.
Concrete pool deck restoration with PolyLevel®
Some contractors still use the old-school repair for settled concrete. They use heavy equipment to demolish the cracked, settled sections of concrete around your swimming pool, and pour a new concrete deck. With concrete replacement you often get a damaged yard and a pool that’s off limits until the new concrete hardens and cures. Our concrete leveling method saves you time and money, and won’t disrupt your landscaping.
Injecting PolyLevel expanding foam beneath a settled pool deck will raise the concrete back to proper level and also strengthen the soil so that the problem won’t recur.
How PolyLevel® works to repair your settled pool deck
PolyLevel is a high-density expanding foam that our technicians can use to raise settled concrete. The two-part polyurethane foam mixture is injected through small holes drilled in the settled concrete. Our installers are trained to control the injection process so that just enough foam is used to re-level the concrete deck. Because the foam’s expanding action fills voids in loose soil, this concrete leveling technique improves the soil’s stability and load-bearing characteristics. You can feel confident that settlement won’t occur again.

PolyLevel Concrete Leveling FAQs
How does PolyLevel work?
PolyLevel uses expanding polyurethane foam injected beneath settled concrete. The material fills voids, stabilizes weak support areas, and lifts the slab with controlled pressure.
Is PolyLevel worth it for settled concrete?
When the concrete slab is structurally sound, PolyLevel can be a less disruptive alternative to replacement. A Solid Base Foundations inspection confirms whether foam injection fits the surface and site conditions.
How fast can concrete be used after PolyLevel foam injection?
PolyLevel has a fast 15-minute cure time, which helps driveways, sidewalks, patios, pool decks, and other repaired slabs return to use quickly.
What concrete surfaces can Solid Base Foundations level?
Solid Base Foundations evaluates driveways, sidewalks, patios, pool decks, residential slabs, and commercial concrete surfaces. Call 940-365-4221 or request a free estimate to discuss the settled concrete on your property.

Advantages of PolyLevel® for commercial use
PolyLevel® is a state-of-the-art alternative to mudjacking, re-leveling grout or concrete replacement. The polyurethane foam system offers numerous features and benefits:
Lightweight – Our polyurethane foam weighs approximately 4-6 pounds per cubic foot when installed, in comparison to traditional mortar-based material which weighs 120 pounds per cubic foot.
High capacity – Lifting action is a result of the expansion of the polymer, allowing for lifting of a much higher load than traditional mudjacking, which relies on hydraulic pressure being contained under a slab.
Accurate lift – Calculated reaction time of the expanding polyurethane foam allows for targeted, precise lifting of the slab.
Waterproof – Polyurethane formula is fully waterproof, so it won’t wash out, won’t be impacted by freeze/thaw cycles and can be used to under-seal slabs and stop a variety of infrastructure leaks.
Non-invasive – PolyLevel equipment can be used in extremely limited access areas and won’t disturb lawn or landscape.
Quick cure time – Within just 15 minutes after injection, the concrete slab is ready for heavy loading; compared to conventional mudjacking which takes several days to cure.
Environmentally-friendly – With PolyLevel there’s no need to demolish the concrete and transport the waste to a landfill.
