What is Deep Foamjection Foundation & Soil Stabilization Repair?
Deep Foamjection is consider to be an upgrade to standard concrete raising. Deep Foamjection is the process of installing foam deeper to increase load bearing capacity of the soils.
Concrete slabs and structures are designed with specific load earing capacities. The construction design relies on a soil base of support to carry loads. When there are inconsistencies in support to the structure or slab, failures can occur. It is common to lift and support failures, but this does not address deeper soil failures that are the root of the problem
Benefits of Deep Foamjection for Foundation Leveling in Pittsburgh
- Repair unstable soils in addtion to adjusting slabs back into place.
- Installing a stronger foundation to support slabs and structures that settled.
- Fills voids holding water. Dispenses collected water.
- Binds lose soils
- Minimal downtime
- No heavy equipment or excavation required- non invasive

How Does Deep Foamjection Work for Raising Foundations in Pittsburgh
• An upgrade to sub-surface concrete lifting
• Repair unstable soils
• Installing a stronger foundation to support slabs and structures that settled
• Foam follows the path of least resistance and will fill weak areas
• Fills fissures and ground voids
• Fills voids holding water & displaces collected water
• Increase load bearing capacity of subgrade
• Permanent repair, foam never changes shape or
absorbs ground water
• Foam soaks into the weak soils and then expands, binding the soil and making it solid
• Does not leach chemicals into the ground
Signs that Your Foundation is Shifting & Needs to be Raised & Leveled
- Visible Cracks: Keep an eye out for cracks in your walls, floors, or exterior brickwork. Horizontal cracks, stair-step cracks in masonry, or widening cracks over time can indicate foundation movement.
- Doors and Windows Stick or Won't Close Properly: If you notice that doors or windows suddenly stick, jam, or won't close properly, it could be a sign that the foundation has shifted, causing the frames to become misaligned.
- Uneven Floors: Walk around your home and pay attention to any areas where the floor feels uneven or slopes noticeably. This could indicate that the foundation has settled unevenly.
- Gaps Between Walls and Ceiling or Floors: Check for noticeable gaps between interior walls and the ceiling or floors. These separations may indicate that the foundation is shifting.
- Bowing Basement Walls: If you have a basement, look for signs of bowing or leaning walls, which can be a result of pressure from shifting soil outside.
- Pooling Water Around the Foundation: Excess moisture or pooling water around the foundation can weaken the soil and contribute to foundation problems.
- Creaking or Settling Noises: Unusual noises such as creaking or settling sounds, particularly when walking through the house or during changes in temperature, can indicate foundation movement.
- Sagging or Uneven Roofline: A sagging or uneven roofline can be a sign of foundation issues, as the foundation supports the entire structure of the house.
Why Choose Polyurethane Foundation Raising?
Polyurethane injection offers several advantages over traditional methods:
Lightweight: Polyurethane foam is lightweight, so it exerts less pressure on the underlying soil, reducing the risk of further settlement.
Waterproof: Polyurethane foam is resistant to water, making it ideal for use in areas prone to moisture.
Minimal Disruption: Since the equipment used for polyurethane injection is relatively small and portable, it causes minimal disruption to the surrounding area
Durability: Polyurethane foam is highly durable and resistant to deterioration, ensuring long-lasting results.
