PolyVoid Systems
PolyVoid is a concrete suspended slab ground floor slab, cast on collapsible void formers, that allow heave and shrinkage of the underlying soil without damaging your slab.
Each year in Australia, some 50,000 houses experience some form of cracking or structural damage. This accounts for about 80% of all housing insurance claims, and most often soil movement is the cause.
Should a home owner water their beloved gardens excessively, or ignore broken drains and pipes, the soil will heave. This movement too can result in cracking walls and timber frame distortion.
Damage to your home is avoidable by using a PolyVoid Suspended Ground Slab System.
