Tree root heaving is a very common problem in Florida and Hotspray plans to offer sawcutting and grinding services to our customers in the future.
For now . . . please, please, please don't plant any more trees near your hard surfaces.
Hotspray will conduct an onsite evaluation of your project to determine cause and proper method of repair. You will be provided a comprehensive scope of work and pricing for your review with follow up to discuss your repair options.
Services Offered
Concrete Lifting
Raising concrete as close to original grade or desired grade as possible by injecting high density foam. Upon completion of lifting, voids are filled to fully support the slab.
Structural Stabilization
Structures are stabilized through the injection of high density foams into unstable soils. The foam is used to accomplish compaction grouting which increases the load bearing capacity of the soil at depths of from 3 to 60 ft. below existing grade.
Concrete Undersealing
Cracks in concrete allow water to permeate through slabs and degrade supporting soils. Undersealing prevents erosion and fills voids created by this process.
Infrastructure Sealing and Repair
Leaky infrastructure causes voids around the exterior of sub-grade structures and excessive water infiltration increases costs in treating both waste and storm water. These issues are easily remedied using both single component and high density foams.
Concrete Stabilization
Tipping panels or concrete with voids are stabilized to prevent future damage caused by unsupported slabs.
A.D.A. Compliance Repairs
High density foams are utilized in the lifting of slabs to match panels and remove tripping hazards. This can be accomplished in sidewalks, building entries and interior areas to bring pedestrian walkways back into compliance with A.D.A. requirements.
Crack Repair
In conjunction with under-sealing, crack filling prevents further damage to slab surfaces including spalling and aids in increasing the service life of concrete slabs.
Slab Vibration Mitigation
Slab vibration due to voids can cause calibrated equipment to malfunction and increase down time when more frequent re-calibration is required. This is most often noted in higher end precision equipment but can be a problem in simpler motorized equipment with heavy live loads.
Soil Stabilization
Soils are stabilized to prevent erosion and lateral migration due to loading. This process can be accomplished using single component stabilizers, high density foams or a combination of the two.
Void Filling
Voids caused by erosion, loss of volume due to moisture loss, pest tunneling can be filled and slabs or other sub-grade structures re-supported and returned to as designed load service.
Floor Resurfacing and Coating
With a wide variety of options, resurfacing extends the service life of concrete and can add to both aesthetics and slip resistance.
