Over 50 5-star reviews…. PolyMagic is doing something right! We are different from other concrete lifting/raising companies. We take the time to focus on the customer, find the most effective and efficient solution, and explain the process to each customer. Many customers are familiar with mudjacking, so when we explain our process of polyjacking (also called polylifting, polyleveling), customers are ready to see the results! PolyMagic services the greater KC area (radius of 45 miles from downtown KC), and focuses on sidewalks, driveways, stairs, basement slabs, pool slabs, garage approaches, porches, patios, and commercial areas.

About PolyMagic… 

From uneven sidewalks to garage trip hazards, PolyMagic has seen it all across the Kansas City area. As a climate that experiences every season, Kansas City residential concrete areas need some TLC just as your lawn needs to be mowed. Check out some insight on how to tell when your concrete needs repair. 

Concrete Cracks 
The most obvious sign is visual cracking. Cracks on your sidewalks, driveways, and garages can come from many factors, including the harsh winter freeze/thaw cycle, foundation issues, tree roots, and even heavy machinery or equipment. The crew at PolyMagic has decades of experience in construction and concrete repair within the Midwestern region. 

Sinking
Concrete sinking happens, and PolyMagic is here to create a solution using polyjacking. This technique involves injecting concrete material below the sunken concrete, raising it to the point where it is level again. When looking for a reputable company near you, you should do your homework. Take some time to pull up google reviews, get multiple quotes, and ask the company for references. These three elements of the homework phase will tell you a lot about your decision to proceed with the company. 

Danger Zone
A clear indication that your concrete needs repair is trip hazards. Repairing the driveway doesn’t need to be an elaborate process. PolyMagic even makes it so easy that you can simply upload a few project photos of your problem areas to the quoter form, and we’ll get back to you ASAP!

I cannot say enough good things about working with this company! Vince and Jerry were very professional and offered remarkable customer service. I called PolyMagic in a panic as we were in a rush to get paperwork for closing after getting the run around from another company. Right away, Jerry was on site for an estimate and they got paperwork to my lending agent almost immediately. Jerry showed up on time and completed the work in the rain with no complaints. Great job, guys! We are thankful for you!

Repair Your Concrete Before Winter Hits

By

As the word “snow” begins to enter the vocabulary of the meteorologists around the Kansas City area, many home and business owners neglect repairs until the weather improves. However, many repairs, including concrete repairs, can be completed before, during, or after the cold weather months. In fact, when winter hits, it will be more difficult to repair the concrete with the natural elements, de-icing chemicals, and additional cracking due to the temperature and moisture fluctuation. For many reasons, including the few listed previously, now is the perfect time to repair your concrete before winter hits.  

Repair Your Concrete Before Winter Hits

A Few Reasons to Repair Your Concrete Before Winter Hits

PolyMagic continues to see the correlation between cold weather and concrete repairs. Homes, apartment complexes, buildings, and businesses have concrete surfaces that are exposed to all weather elements, specifically cold weather. The exposure of varying temperatures and moisture can cause additional concrete cracking from frozen water expanding the pores of the concrete.  As a result of the cyclical freezing and thawing of the rain, snow, and sleet rupturing concrete is very common in the Kansas City area.  

Another factor to consider when looking at why to repair your concrete before winter hits, is that Midwestern winters can bring ice, which is commonly combated with de-icing chemicals. The chemicals can cause concrete to flake and break off into chunks. The concrete crumbling can worsen uneven concrete and tripping hazards. Many areas of Kansas City homes and businesses can be affected by the settlement and shifting, including driveways, sidewalks, garage floors, steps, basements, pool slabs, foundation slabs, and more. 

There are many concrete repair companies within the Kansas City area, but not all specialize in polyjacking, which is a process of injecting high-density polyurethane foam into the concrete. This is a more cost-effective solution compared to mudjacking, and can have many additional benefits. Continue reading about the main differences in mudjacking vs polyjacking. Polyjacking, or poly leveling, is the most effective form of concrete repair. The key to polyjacking is to do your research on companies that are reputable, honest, and experienced. Check out additional benefits of polyjacking here.

The Differences in a Polyjacking Warranty

By

A warranty can have so many different meanings to residential homeowners. As the go-to polyjacking company in the Kansas City area, PolyMagic wants to offer some points of consideration when comparing bids and specifically the warranty options.

Let’s look at three key elements to consider when reviewing bids from concrete repair companies.

#1: Credibility
Have you researched the company on Google reviews? Are there any specific reviews that refer to warranty work? Any concrete repair company can promise an overextended length of time on the warranty, but will they truly honor that? Ask the concrete repair company for references or their past few customers to call and inquire about their experience with your team. The Differences in a Polyjacking Warranty

#2: Business Practice

Over 75% of new businesses close within the first three years of operation. You may want to evaluate if a correlation between a lower estimate you receive from a concrete repair company and the length of time in business exists. Are the two related? Again, do your research and look at Google reviews to get some real feedback!

#3: Read the fine print

When reviewing the differences in a polyjacking warranty for each company you are considering, be sure to review the fine print, including the clauses. Most warranties offered by polyjacking companies include clauses that reference drainage, water flow, and acceptable deviation. Be sure you’re aware of the clauses and if you have questions or concerns, address those before committing.

PolyMagic is committed to providing customer service in a responsive, responsible, and realistic manner. As the leading concrete repair company in the Kansas City area, PolyMagic is recognized for their responsiveness and honesty with customers. One specific customer left a five-star review,

I would recommend this company in a heartbeat. In this day and age, when so many companies don’t fulfill their work, or treat you like you’re just money in their pocket, PolyMagic goes above and beyond to satisfy you, stand behind their work, and treat you like a friend. I had a young man, named Jerry come out last year, and polyjack my sidewalk and the pillars on my front porch, which had settled into a void. They did a wonderful job, were polite, and fulfilled all the questions I had. Well, with a terrible drought that we had this past summer, the pillars on my porch started sagging again…..I made a call to Vince, the owner, sent him pictures of what was going on, and, he sent Jerry back out. Not only was he here exactly when he told me he’d be, but he also took care of my problem at hand. No extra charge…they stood behind their warranty from the work they did last year. Not only is the drought not their fault, nor the soil pulling away, but they felt like they needed to stand behind their work. I give Jerry and the company 5-stars, and, beyond. Thank you, guys!

  • Cost Effective– Concrete raising is typically about 33% less than replacing the same concrete. Ultimately, the cost of raising or stabilizing concrete is a direct reflection of how much leveling material the project will require.
  • Time– Ready to use immediately.
  • Clean Work Environment– No concrete or grout splatter and no wash down needed.
  • Smaller Holes– Polyurethane concrete raising drills a nearly invisible 5/8 inch hole and the process calls for considerably fewer holes than traditional mudjacking. When finished, minimal patchwork is needed.
  • Lightweight– This material will never lose density. It is permanent and weighs only about 2 pounds per cubic foot. Compared to traditional mudjacking that weighs about 100 pounds per cubic foot.
  • Green– Polyurethane is environmentally friendly. It consists of 39-49% renewable and recycled materials.

Effective Way to Lift Concrete Slab Floors

By

When it comes to home repairs and concrete unevenness, it’s key to find an effective way to lift concrete slab floors, without a costly, timely, and ineffective procedure. The need to find an experienced company that has done extensive and successful concrete slab lifting is crucial. PolyMagic, a leading concrete lifting company in the Kansas City area, recommends finding a skilled company to use poly-leveling technology for in-home repairs.

Tripping hazards within the concrete in your home are not only dangerous for others, but can also be costly if handled incorrectly by a contractor. Cracks and uneven concrete are typically found within your concrete slab floors, and can be in the hard-to-reach areas. In addition to the appearance and safety issues, your home loses value when you decide to sell. 

Recommending Polyjacking as an Effective Way to Lift Concrete Slab FloorsEffective Way to Lift Concrete Slab Floors

PolyMagic has several reasons they recommend poly leveling as the most effective method of lifting. The first reason is that the polyurethane machine only needs to very small area to drill a hole into and get the job done.  PolyMagic’s polyurethane foam method uses the concrete slab as a means of delivering poly foams that raise concrete, fill voids, and stabilize soils. A 5/8” hole is strategically drilled through the slab into the subgrade. Then, a tapered delivery port is installed into the hole. The injection gun is connected to the port, releasing polyurethane material through the port and slab. Expansion of the material occurs within seconds, raising the concrete.

The second reason that utilizing poly is an effective way to lift concrete slab floors is the clean work area. The poly holes are very small, and the mess is very minimal.

The last thing you want inside of your home is a huge mud trail and equipment needed to perform mudjacking. This is not the ideal situation for an in-home project, and some mudjacking companies even refuse to complete work inside of a residence because of the mess. The poly leveling allows experienced companies to come into your home, and even in the tightest areas, perform the lift needed without the heavy equipment, dust/debris, or multiple-person crews running in and out of your house. At PolyMagic, our experienced technician drills a few penny-size holes through the sunken slab in each of the affected rooms. He then pulls in a hose from a box truck parked in the driveway of the home, and injects the polyurethane solution. The solution spreads under the slab until it begins to expand. The foam gradually raises the slab to its original level position.

The third reason for utilizing poly as an effective way to lift concrete slab floors is cost effectiveness, and time, which essentially go hand and hand. Utilizing polyjacking, instead of concrete repair, in the slab floor situations saves over 33%. The surface is able to be used/walked on immediately after the polyurethane has been completed.
