• What is the Uretek Method?

  A series of 5/8 inch diameter holes are drilled in the area of the foundation that needs raising. A special, high density polyurethane formulation is injected through the holes into the area under the slab. The polyurethane expands, filling the voids and raising the affected area.

• How do you ensure that the slab is brought to an even plane?

  Our experienced technicians use layers or computer levels throughout the procedure to carefully monitor and control the amount of slab life and by using a very short shot injection method.

• Will I also need to have piers installed?

  The Uretek Method eliminates the need for interior piers or tunneling.

• How long does the work take?

  Usually one or two days.

• I have parquet and tile floors. Won't the holes show?

  The holes are sealed and repaired after the work is completed and since they are smaller than a nickel in size, they are practically unnoticeable.

• What about drilling through carpets?

  Often we can loosen the carpet from the tack strip and put it back again after the work is completed. Alternatively, a tiny slit is made in the carpet to allow drilling directly through the slab. After the work is completed, the slit is usually undetectable.

• Can we expect a lot of dirty equipment, mess and dust in the house?

  Unlike pier foundation work, the Uretek Method is neat and tidy, with virtually no mess. Work is controlled from one of our fully equipped, self-contained mobile units outside your residence.

• We have built-in furniture where our settlement is the worst. Will we have to move it?

  No, you do not have to move fixtures, heavy appliances or even furniture. This is another advantage that Uretek offers.

• Part of our slab has settled over four inches. Can this be corrected by Uretek ICR Deep South?

  The Uretek Method has been used to realign slabs with as much as 15 inches of settlement.

• How long has The Uretek Method been used?

  Our patented process has been used worldwide for over twenty years with excellent and lasting results. Our local clients have been pleased and server as our best references.
