- Water Pooling
Pools of water on roadways caused from inadequate drainage design cause unsafe operating environments for vehicles resulting in hydroplaning or even losing control. Pooling can also cause slippery road conditions from algae for Pedestrians. Resolving water pooling issues is typically a high priority to eliminate Public Works and Commercial-Industrial Property exposure.
- Concrete Sinking
Concrete settlement and uneven floors affect commercial properties and office buildings everywhere. Whether the building was constructed on poorly compacted fill, water infiltration underneath the slab caused washout of the soils, or air leakage from under-performing duct work below the concrete resulted in shrinkage of the subgrade, this settlement causes significant damage to the interior finishes of the structure. Often, the damages are so severe that businesses are forced to cease operations until the problem is corrected.
- Uneven Concrete
In many warehouse environments, minor voids under the slab or under control joints cause concrete flexing or displacement which creates unsafe working conditions, as well as maintenance issues with equipment. These voids are typically caused by traffic flow of heavy machinery coupled with poor compaction of the soils beneath the slab. As the slabs begin to flex or settle, sags within the concrete and displacement at the joints often disrupt efficiencies and productivity within the warehouse.
- Pavement Settlement
Settlement of highways and roadways is a problem that Departments of Transportation across the country are tasked with correcting on a regular basis. As expansion joint materials break down over time and allow water to penetrate below the slab, and the subgrade below the concrete compresses as a result of heavy traffic flow, sags often form in the roadway. These sags create difficult and unsafe driving conditions to the general public.
Superior’s Concrete Leveling
The PolyLift system, which is a concrete foam leveling solution, offers many advantages over traditional methods of repair such as mudjacking or tear out and replacement of the concrete. Concrete leveling costs are significantly less than tear out and replacement costs by using a high-density concrete raising foam that provides a superior solution to fill voids, densify the soils below the slab and lift and level concrete. Where concrete raising cost is a key consideration, the PolyLift system offers an effective solution with little or no disruption to normal workflow, quick cure times, high compressive strength, and minimal disruption during installation. Superior Polylift requires a smaller 5/8” injection hole, which means preserved concrete aesthetics when performing concrete leveling and repair services. Alternatively, Mudjacking utilizes a soil cement material mixture and 2 inch diameter injection holes. Some of the primary benefits of PolyLift system vs Mudjacking is the fast cure time, size of the injection holes, weight of the material and speed of installation.
- Superior PolyLift
Superior Polylift is a foam injection concrete leveling solution that raises concrete via thermal expansion of the material. Interior and exterior applications where speed of installation and quick cure time are critical to ensuring little or no disruption to normal business operations, the PolyLift™ system offers a long-lasting concrete leveling repair solution.
- Mudjacking / Slabjacking
Developed in the fifties as the original concrete leveling and jacking solution, Mudjacking raises concrete via hydraulic pressure once the void space has been filled. This application is ideal where large voids exist under concrete.

39 Years of Service in Concrete Leveling
Established in 1983, Superior Grouting Services, Inc. is one of the best known and most reliable concrete leveling services in Greater Houston and the Texas Gulf Coast Region. We are a family owned business established in 1983 to provide small line grouting services to general contractors serving the underground utilities, oil & gas, commercial & industrial properties, railroad and public works markets. Coming from the concrete boom pumping industry in the 70’s and early 80’s, the owner had extensive experience in the concrete pumping world. Having placed over one million cubic yards in the Houston market he saw a segment in the industry that needed a specialty contractor with the knowledge and expertise to execute conventional and non-conventional projects, thus Superior was born. Starting with one MaycoC30 small line grout pump and a 1969 Chevy Truck, the owner sold and completed each and every job. Superior is a performance-oriented company that works with engineering firms and general contractors and continues to evolve into becoming the exceptional specialty grouting company that it is today. The owner, Ron Rumpza, has diligently worked to grow the company through his persistence and dedication by providing excellent customer service with a quality finished product on time and on budget. The broad experiences of our principle employees combined with unique construction methods and materials, has made Superior an authority in the fields of pressure grouting, compaction grouting, chemical grouting and polyurethane.

FAQs
There are many variables to this question. In our experience we have performed concrete foundation leveling to raise an interior slab of a commercial building 17 inches.
In general, high density polyurethane foam will achieve 90 percent of its compressive strength within 15 minutes of application. Set up times are variable depending on the product used and outside temperature.
Reactions to produce polyurethane generate off-gases. Fortunately, the majority of the gases are contained below slabs and dissipate very slowly over time causing no adverse effects. However, in certain poorly ventilated situations, gases displace or reduce breathing air. Long term exposure to these gases can cause an allergic-like sensitivity to the product. It is always best to arrange for proper ventilation and also to wear a half mask with Organic Vapor / Acid Gasses respirator cartridges especially when working inside.
Cold weather impacts the reaction and it will result in up to 20 percent less yield but the same lifting results will be achieved. In the winter months, it is possible that the outer edges of exterior concrete slabs will be frozen to the ground. This situation may cause the middle of the slab to lift, but the edges to stay in place.
Project specifications may dictate the sophistication of the methods or equipment used to track weight or volume. Containers could be weighed before and after the project, installers could count calibrated strokes of the pump, or more expensive computerized equipment could be used to measure weight and volume by other means.
Again, it is variable depending on the product and the application, but, generally, in commercial applications, it takes about 4 to 6 pounds of foam to fill a cubic foot or 108 to 162 pounds to fill a cubic yard. The heavier the lift, the more dense the foam becomes and a 4 pcf foam could end up weighing 6 pcf.
Polyurethane will break down if exposed to ultraviolet rays, however, in a traditional under-slab application, this is not a concern. Under a slab or in the ground, the long-term durability of polyurethane has been researched via accelerated aging tests. These tests revealed that even in highly acidic environments, polyurethane is anticipated to break down less than 10 percent over 100 years.
