When you are in the concrete repair business, you walk down the street noticing all the defects (cracks, spalls, etc.) in the concrete on the surrounding concrete structures. Being in the chemical grout business one tends to notice applications for chemical grout.

Walking in a parking lot to my car the other day I noticed something unique. At first, I thought it was some type of mushroom or fungus growing from a tree trunk. But as I looked closer I found that it was a chemical grout. I took some photos and then did some brief research on it.  I found that chemical foam grout can be used to help stop or slow down dry rot in tree trunks. It keeps water away from the rotting areas and gives the tree a chance to live on.

We make some of the finest polyurethane chemical grouts available. Most of our grouts are environmentally safe and carry NSF/ANSI 61-5 approval for contact with drinking water. Always consult an experienced arborist before proceeding with any trees on your property (and one of our Technical Consultants if you plan to use our foam).

And, as always, if you need material for leaking concrete, soil stabilization, or concrete leveling...we are the people to talk to. Powerful polymers, painless procedures and rapid results. We’ve got your back!
