Recently, the team at Foam All was featured in a “Spotlight in Concrete Lifting” article in Spray Foam Magazine. In the article, the team comes to the rescue of a family that had a potentially dangerous situation. They discovered a large void underneath their living room. Aside from avoiding a treacherous outcome, this job demonstrated the versatility of spray foam as a solution. Spray foam provides safe and long-lasting results. Let’s delve deeper into the fantastic concrete lifting job featured in the article. We will explore its origin and how we solved the problem.

A Dangerous Situation is Discovered

For these homeowners, a very scary scenario arose very suddenly. While working on a plumbing project, the plumbers were using a jackhammer in their living room. They discovered a giant void underneath their living room floor. Due to its sheer size, this was cause for immediate alarm. They immediately stopped what they were doing, fearing that the floor would collapse beneath them, potentially causing injury.

After determining that an eroded sewer line had caused a pipe to burst, resulting in a giant chasm beneath the living room, the homeowner contacted Dri-Force, a restoration and construction company. Dri-Force brought in the concrete lifting team from Foam All, as they work with them frequently and know their expertise would be perfect for this urgent job.

How Foam All Solved the Problem

Owner Doug Howard quickly inspected the situation for the homeowners and provided an estimate for fixing their living room and the immense void beneath. Using spray foam, these homeowners can avoid the high cost of replacing the entire slab and benefit from its long-lasting characteristics.

The concrete lifting team of Garry and Kerry arrived with their concrete rig and Graco equipment, ready for the challenge. Garry even commented on how big the void was, saying, “The gap underneath was so large that I could actually lie in it and see under the living room. If it had not been discovered, the floor would have caved in, and someone could have potentially been hurt.” The team drilled holes and attached the ports where the polyurethane foam was injected. Overall, the job took about 4-5 hours. The plumbers were able to complete their project, and the living room was restored to a stable and safe condition for the homeowners.
