Can I Use PolyRenewal™ Alone?

We understand that it can be incredibly tempting to try a DIY solution to your unlevel steps, especially when the solutions are so well known and widely discussed. However, we urge you not to try using PolyRenewal™ polyurethane foam by yourself. It could go very wrong incredibly quickly. 

PolyRenewal™ is a Complex and Specialist Tool 

PolyRenewal™ is both a very useful tool and a deceptively complicated one. The issue is in the way that this two-part foam must be mixed. The purpose of this is to let professionals tailor the expansive force and the level of expansion from job to job. This is incredibly useful for those who have the skills and knowledge to tweak the mix properly. In the hands of someone without the proper knowledge, it can over- or under-expand very easily.  

If this happens, you will have a limited time to rectify your mistake before the polyurethane foam sets as hard as cement. Once it has set, the foam will be almost impossible to remove without professional help. If the foam over-expands, it poses a real risk of causing the concrete slab to buckle upward.  

Professionals Offer Better Results  

One of the main benefits of hiring a professional to repair your sunken or cracked concrete steps is the fact that they will be able to use the PolyRenewal™ system effectively and without issue. They can tailor it as intended to meet the needs of your specific situation. This will ensure that you get a far better, cleaner result from the process than if you were to try to do it alone. Professionals will also be able to consider any other issues at work.  

Finally, your steps look good as new once a professional leaves your property. Above all else, professional concrete lifting guarantees a certain standard of work and the promise of support should something go wrong. This is something that a DIY process just cannot give.
