Professional Driveway Paving Contractors in Steinbach, MB

Our minimum charge unless otherwise stated, is $900 plus GST. This minimum charge includes the cost of travel, material, employee wages, equipment maintenance, repairs etc. for each and every job. If you are not willing or able to spend $900 or more on a concrete lifting project, please do not sign up for an estimate unless there are other factors that our family can find some compassion for and we will work something out. Travel surcharges could apply for areas outside of The City of Winnipeg limits.

Polyurethane material is injected as a liquid that sets-up as a rigid foam. This foam will NEVER lose density or shrink. This material is lighter than traditional mud-jacking material, and as a result, puts less stress on the unstable soils beneath your concrete. Unstable soils are the reason that your concrete has settled. Our foams infiltrate the air spaces within the underlying soils and aggregates beneath your concrete, and essentially bind them together so that the foam has a stable surface to lift against. This material is non-erodible and non-decomposable due to its hydrophobic properties.

We use a fibre reinforced cement patching mortar that will best match your concrete surface. A multitude of dye colours is available to us. In most cases, the patching material is harder and more durable than the concrete slab itself. There is a benefit to using polyurethane over raising with mud with regards to patching our penny-sized injection holes. When mud-jacking, a foam plug is inserted into the hole, and the hole is patched over with cement. Mud-jacking contractors usually recommend you to allow the patch material to set-up before use of the slab-typically a couple of hours. You can immediately walk or drive on our patches. The foam plugs used in mud-jacking help patch the holes, and they act as a shock absorber when slabs are affected by the frost cycle. Holes that are not patched with foam can pop out when the material and earth under the slab expand from freezing. There is a significant possibility of the plugs popping out and having to be re-done. With our system, there is no possibility of this occurrence as our product maintains its shape and density until you are ready to dispose of it.

We have various methods available to us to seal cracks, using walk behind saws, foam-backer rods and self-levelling, UV-stable polyurethane joint caulking compounds. These services and any of their additional costs and descriptions are included in your proposal. Again, there are several colours available depending on the colour of your concrete.

Since the only thing that can break down the polyurethane concrete raising materials we use are the ultraviolet rays of the sun, it will essentially outlive the life of your concrete as long as it stays covered; which is perfect under your concrete. As long as you maintain the grade, landscaping stones, bricks, etc. surrounding the edges of your concrete and ensure that all improper drainage (downspouts properly placed and extended so that water drains down and away from the areas surrounding your concrete) has been remediated post-lift, level and/or stabilization, the foam will keep its density and shape until you want to dispose of it.
