Commercial-Industrial Properties

With more than 350 million square feet of commercial & industrial property in Houston, Texas, ongoing maintenance is a critical necessity to maintaining the integrity of your asset. Superior Grouting works with commercial & industrial property management firms to provide concrete remediation services.

Superior Grouting is a leader in foundation remediation, concrete lifting and slab realignment. The SUPERIOR Polylift™ method provides a fast, non-disruptive, noninvasive, environmentally friendly solution to your subsurface problems. The PolyLift™ System and Deep Foam Injection System is a state-of-the-art approach to repairing sinking concrete. PolyLift™ takes the original concept of mudjacking and combines it with modern knowledge and technology. Rather than using a mixture of cement and topsoil, this method utilizes high density polymers to raise slabs back to a desired level. This is done by drilling small holes (smaller than a dime) in the slab and then specially designed equipment is used to inject structural grade polymers into the void. After the void is filled, the expansion of the polyurethane allows for a precise lift and stabilizes the slab.

The injection of High-Density Polyurethane is a state-of-the-art approach to repairing sinking concrete. One inherent property of expanding foams is that they will follow the path of least resistance, expanding in all directions. Another inherent property includes reaching a hydro-insensitive or hydrophobic state when cured with 100% cure times as little as 20 minutes. Closed cell polymer foams offer benefits which go beyond the goal of leveling hard surfaces. They will not retain moisture. They are not subject to erosion once in place. Their fast cure time allows for immediate use when application is complete. Their light weight, 3 to 8 lbs. per cubic ft. vs. 100 to 120 lbs. per cubic ft. for cementitious grout will not cause further settlement. Foams will retain their cured shape and volume indefinitely reducing the possibility of new voids forming below grade to nearly zero unless acted upon by some outside cause. Some closed cell polymer foams have baseline lifting capabilities of 6,000 lbs. per sq. ft.

Superior Grouting is a specialty grouting contractor serving Commercial-Industrial Property Management firms. Our capabilities include concrete raising and stabilizing solutions covering a broad range of applications – including the PolyLift™ System and Deep Foam Injection which is a state-of-the-art approach to repairing sinking concrete. Our goal is to provide skilled technical expertise and customized innovative solutions to meet the most complex geotechnical engineering challenges.

Superior Polylift method of foam leveling and void fill utilizes a two-part closed cell polymer expanding foam injected through a hole typically 5/8”, the size of a dime. Although the material is injected at a higher psi rate than traditional cementitious grouts, the pressure is not what causes the lifting. The expansion of the injected material below the slab surface performs the actual lifting action. Material injected below a slab to be lifted will first find weak soils, expanding into them in such a manner as to consolidate and cause sub-soils to become denser and fill any voids below the slab.

Deep foam injection is a way of treating the soil at a construction site at depths typically ranging from 5 to 20 feet to ensure the earth is as strong and stable as it needs to be for whatever structure is being constructed/raised on the site. For many years contractors have been treating the soil with a polyurethane foam to help bind soil together and increase compaction, resulting in soil that has greater weight bearing ability. In certain ground conditions the bearing capacity of the ground can be increased by up to 500 percent. Deep Foam Injection creates man-made root systems with foam, much like a tree does in nature.
