Expert Void Fill Services in Alabama

Voids beneath concrete slabs can be a hidden danger to your home’s foundation and property. These empty spaces, caused by soil erosion, poor compaction, or water, can cause concrete to sink, crack, and become unstable. Left unaddressed, voids can lead to tripping hazards, drainage issues, and even structural damage.

At SouthernDry, we provide professional void-filling services that use a specialized polyurethane foam to fill these empty spaces. This process re-supports concrete slabs and restores stability, preventing further damage and protecting your property from the ground up. The process is fast, clean, and far more cost-effective than replacing the entire slab.

Hidden voids weaken from beneath.

Empty spaces under your concrete result from soil erosion, poor compaction, or water washout. Over time, they let slabs sink and sink again, whether under heavy vehicles on your driveway or the weight of daily use on walkways.

Unsafe surfaces don’t always look broken.

You may not see large cracks, but hollow sounds when you tap concrete, sudden dips underfoot, or puddles in unlikely spots all point to soil that’s slipping away.

Left unchecked, voids cost more than just safety.

They can lead to everyday hazards like tripping, inject instability into your foundation, and water intrusion that accelerates damage. Fixing them early prevents much bigger problems later.

These seemingly minor issues indicate potentially catastrophic void problems:

Immediate Safety Threats

• Small cracks are appearing and expanding in concrete surfaces
• Settling or sinking sections create uneven surfaces
• Hollow sounds when walking or tapping on concrete areas
• Water is pooling in areas that previously drained properly
• Rocking or movement when weight is applied to specific spots

Progressive Structural Failure

• Widening gaps between concrete sections or along building edges
• Door and window alignment issues indicate foundation movement
• Stair separation from patios, sidewalks, or building structures
• Utility line stress from shifting concrete affecting plumbing or electrical systems
• Drainage disruption is causing water flow toward building foundations

Hidden Underground Destruction

• Soil washout from poor drainage creates expanding cavities
• Freeze-thaw cycles expand existing voids during the winter months
• Root infiltration and decay create organic matter voids
• Construction settling from inadequate initial soil compaction
• Water line leaks gradually erode the supporting soil structure

1. We assess the problem.
   A Certified Foundation Specialist inspects the affected area, identifying voids beneath concrete surfaces like driveways, patios, garage floors, or sidewalks. We look for signs of soil movement, washout, or poor compaction.
2. We access the void with minimal disruption.
   Small holes, no larger than a penny, are drilled through the concrete surface at key points. This allows us to reach the hollow areas without demolition or damage to the slab itself.
3. We inject high-density polyurethane foam.
   Our expanding foam fills the empty space beneath the concrete, compresses any loose soil, and provides immediate support. It lifts and stabilizes the slab from beneath while curing in minutes, not days.
4. We finish and seal.
   Once the foam has cured, we seal the injection points cleanly. The result is a supported, level slab that’s ready for normal use with minimal downtime.
