Void Filling & Soil Stabilization | Reno & Sacramento

Void Filling

Void filling is the process of injecting a substance into an area where there is a void. This can be done for many reasons, such as to fill a cavity beneath a concrete surface; to prevent the collapse of a garage, home, or building; or to provide additional support for a construction project. There are many different materials that can be used for void filling, such as concrete, sand, and even air. Polyurethane foam, the same material used in poly leveling/slab jacking, is the preferred material by many of the best void filling companies like Intelligent Concrete Lifting & Stabilization.

Why is void filling important?

• Filling voids under concrete slabs provides crucial stability for the concrete itself and any structures, vehicles, or people supported by that concrete.
• Filling voids prevents concrete from sinking, shifting, cracking, and upheaving.
• Filling voids under sidewalks, walkways, and stairs prevents trip-and-fall accidents.
• Filling voids under driveways and garages protects cars from unnecessary wear and tear.
• Filling voids under concrete surfaces, walkways, stairs, and floors in and around your commercial building creates a safer environment for your employees and customers.
• Using polyurethane foam to fill voids under concrete is an eco-friendly and super long-lasting alternative to concrete slurry or another heavy material.

We are ready to help you fill voids beneath your concrete driveways, sidewalks, walkways, foundations, slabs, and more. Contact Intelligent Concrete Lifting & Stabilization today to learn more about our void filling services.

Soil Stabilization

Soil stabilization is the process of adding materials to soil in order to make it more stable. Soil stabilization is a process relied upon in construction, foundation repair, concrete lifting, and more.

Loose and unstable soils can cause significant structural problems to overlying buildings, infrastructure, and seawalls. Structures built on or near soft ground, sand, or rock that is prone to fracture, may shift, settle and crack. Soil that is strong and stable enough to support heavy loads and mitigate erosion is important for building use and safety of occupancy. Our soil stabilization process helps strengthen the soils and underlying materials by injecting a structural, high-strength polyurethane into the base and subgrade soils to bind loose soils together and fill voids. These proven materials and installation processes create a stronger mass underneath your infrastructure and reduce permeability and erosion.

Why is soil stabilization important?

• Soil stabilization allows vehicles, heavy machinery, and people to utilize a surface without the risk of cave-ins, which can be fatal.
• Soil stabilization provides a solid base upon which to build homes, apartment buildings, commercial buildings, and garages and also provides a stable surface for poured concrete.
• The soil stabilization process prevents soil erosion caused by rainwater runoff and groundwater movement. Soil erosion is responsible for most concrete sinking, shifting, and cracking.
• Soil stabilization not only creates stronger soil, but it also helps soil become more permeable, meaning it is better at draining water away from your concrete surfaces.

At Intelligent Concrete Lifting & Stabilization, we offer long-lasting soil stabilization services at competitive rates. We proudly serve both residential and commercial customers and can stabilize soil for a wide range of projects. Contact us today to talk through your needs and learn how our team can help you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need void filling under my concrete surfaces?

There are many reasons why you might need to fill voids under your concrete surfaces. One reason is to improve the structural integrity of the concrete. When concrete is first poured, it is in a liquid state. As it begins to set, the weight of the wet concrete can cause it to settle unevenly. This can create weak spots and voids in the concrete. Filling these voids with a material that can support the weight of the concrete will help to prevent future cracking and settlement.

Another reason you might need to fill voids under your concrete is for aesthetic purposes. If you have cracks or voids in your concrete, they can show through any finishes that you apply to the surface. Filling the voids will help to create a smooth, even surface that is ready for any type of finish.

Why do I need soil stabilization?

Soil stabilization is important for a variety of reasons. One reason is to improve the strength and stability of the soil. This can be important for structural purposes, such as supporting foundations or roadways. Stabilizing the soil can also help to prevent erosion and landslides.

Another reason to stabilize soil is for environmental purposes. When soil is unstable, it can be more easily eroded by wind and water. This can lead to dust storms and flooding. Stabilizing the soil can help to reduce these risks.
