Concrete structures are vital components of homes, businesses, and infrastructure. Over time, voids or gaps can form beneath or within concrete slabs due to soil erosion, settling, or moisture issues. These voids can compromise structural integrity, leading to cracked slabs, uneven surfaces, and even serious safety hazards. Understanding the process and importance of concrete void filling is crucial for maintaining durability and preventing costly repairs.
At On the Mark Spray Foam Insulation, we specialize in void filling solutions that restore stability and prolong the life of concrete structures. Serving Tampa, Florida, and the surrounding counties, our professional team delivers proven, long-lasting results backed by decades of experience.
You gotta fill those empty spaces under concrete to make it strong again. Sometimes the ground underneath moves away, which leaves gaps that need filling. Water running off or coming up from below often causes these problems. Bad building work, like not packing the dirt tight enough, makes it worse too. If nobody fixes these gaps, the concrete starts getting bumpy and cracking all over.
When concrete ain’t got proper support underneath, it starts acting weird. The weight gets all wrong distributed, which makes cracks show up. Fixing these gaps helps keep everything solid and working right. This matters extra for places where cars drive or people walk.
If you don’t fix these gaps, they just get bigger and cause more trouble. Nobody wants someone tripping on their property or cars getting damaged. That’s why filling these spaces quick is super important for keeping things safe.
We fix lots of different concrete problems. Houses need it for driveways that start sinking. Sometimes pool decks get all wobbly because the ground underneath isn’t right anymore. Garage floors can get messed up too, especially when there’s spaces underneath that nobody can see.
Big buildings and parking lots need fixing all the time. Heavy trucks and machines make the ground compress weird. Industrial places like roads and bridges need this work done lots, cause they get beat up from all the heavy stuff moving over them day after day.
First thing we do is check out where all the problems are hiding. Our team uses fancy tools that can see through concrete to find the bad spots. We look real careful to figure out what’s causing the trouble.
Then we drill some small holes and put special stuff inside. Sometimes we use foam that expands to fill everything up nice. Other times we need stronger material for bigger problems. Once we put the stuff in, it gets hard and makes everything stable again.
Different jobs need different materials to fix them right. Lots of times we use this foam stuff that gets bigger after we put it in. It’s real good for driveways and sidewalks cause it’s light but strong.
Some jobs need heavier stuff, like special concrete mix that flows real good. Big projects like roads usually get this kind. There’s also this other mix we use that’s kind of in between – not too heavy but stronger than foam. Each type works best for different kinds of problems.
Most folks don’t notice problems until they see cracks showing up. Sometimes concrete starts sinking in spots, which means there’s probably empty space underneath. Driveways and sidewalks might start looking kind of tilted or uneven.
Water pooling in spots where it didn’t used to is another sign something’s wrong. Sometimes you can hear hollow sounds when you walk on concrete – that’s usually bad news. Gaps between the concrete and the dirt around it mean trouble too.

Usually it’s from dirt washing away or settling down over time.
Most jobs take anywhere from a few hours to a day to finish up.
