Can I Install PolyRenewal™ by Myself?

The precise measuring required to ensure that PolyRenewal™ polyurethane foam expands to the proper degree, and with the proper force, is just one of the reasons that DIY installation can be risky.  

  • Incorrect Formulation Could Cause Issues 

One of the main risks of over or under measuring one of the two parts of PolyRenewal™, is the over or under expansion of the mixture. This is not only inconvenient, but it could present some risks for your home and wellbeing. While PolyRenewal™ will not leak chemicals into the soil, it definitely shouldn’t be coming into contact with your skin.  

Furthermore, if the foam over expands it could cause a bulge or hump in your flooring and cause more damage. Rectifying this issue is likely to require the removal and replacement of that concrete slab. If the foam under expands, by contrast, you could get away with hiring a professional to provide a tailored solution, but the worst-case scenario could also see serious excavation in your home.

  

  • This May Not Always Be the Best Solution 

While the PolyRenewal™ system is phenomenal, it’s not suited to every single situation. This is why it is important to consult an expert who will be able to tell you if this is the best solution for your home.   There are a number of factors which a professional must consider when it comes to deciding the best response to sunken or unlevel interior slabs.  

There are other benefits to professional services. As well as making sure that you get the best solution for your home, professionals can also guarantee a certain standard of work. Furthermore, professional products and services come with guarantees and warranties. So, whether PolyRenewal™ is the best solution or not, having a professional on board is definitely the best choice because of the benefits attached to it.
