Concrete lifting, often known as slab jacking or polyurethane foam injection, is an essential service provided by companies like Ro-Berg to address the increasingly common problem of sinking sidewalks. This innovative method offers a practical solution to the serious issue of trip hazards that sidewalks present when they become uneven or damaged.
Trip hazards on sidewalks are more than just a minor inconvenience; they pose a significant risk to the safety of homeowners and their guests. Uneven concrete slabs can lead to falls, which are a leading cause of injury in the home. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over one million Americans suffer a slip, trip, and fall injury annually, with the potential outcomes ranging from minor bruises to severe fractures or head injuries.
Concrete lifting with polyurethane foam is a technologically advanced method that can effectively mitigate these hazards by stabilizing and leveling concrete slabs. Here’s how it works:
Assessment: Ro-Berg professionals first assess the sidewalk to determine the extent of the sinking and the best approach for repair.
Injection: Small holes are drilled into the sunken slabs, and a polyurethane foam is injected beneath them.
Lifting: The foam quickly expands, filling voids and gently lifting the concrete back to its original, level position.
Curing: The foam cures rapidly, allowing the sidewalk to be used almost immediately after the repair.
Durability: The foam is water-resistant and durable, offering a long-term solution to the problem of sinking concrete.
1. Efficiency: Ro-Berg's process is quick and efficient, significantly reducing the downtime associated with traditional concrete repair methods.
2. Precision: The polyurethane foam provides a level of precision that ensures a smooth, even surface, effectively eliminating trip hazards.
3. Minimal Disruption: The method is minimally invasive, preserving the surrounding landscape and causing minimal disruption to the homeowner’s daily activities.
4. Cost-Effective: Concrete lifting is often more cost-effective than complete concrete replacement, providing a budget-friendly option for homeowners.
5.
Safety First: Ro-Berg prioritizes the safety of the homeowners and their guests by addressing the trip hazards that can lead to serious injuries.
By addressing uneven sidewalks promptly and efficiently, Ro-Berg helps homeowners maintain a safe and welcoming environment, mitigating the risks associated with trip hazards. The use of polyurethane foam in concrete lifting is a testament to Ro-Berg's commitment to innovative, customer-focused solutions.
