Fix Failing Culverts Without Full Replacement
Culverts play an important role in managing water flow beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, and commercial properties. When soil shifts or washes away around a culvert, the surrounding ground can begin to settle. This can lead to erosion, unstable surfaces, and structural problems if the issue is not addressed early.
STL Polyjack provides culvert repair in St. Louis, MO using advanced polyurethane injection and soil stabilization methods. Our process helps fill voids around culverts, stabilize weak soil, and restore support to the surrounding ground without the need for major excavation.
Why Culverts Begin to Fail
Culverts are constantly exposed to moving water and soil pressure. Over time, these conditions can cause the surrounding soil to erode or shift, creating empty spaces around the culvert pipe.
Common causes of culvert problems include:
- Soil erosion caused by flowing water
- Voids forming around the culvert structure
- Poor soil compaction during installation
- Drainage issues in surrounding areas
- Long-term ground settlement
When soil washes away or becomes unstable, the culvert may lose support. This can lead to sinking pavement, erosion, or structural instability around the pipe.
Signs Your Culvert May Need Repair
Culvert issues often appear gradually, but early warning signs can indicate that the surrounding soil is losing support.
You may need culvert repair if you notice:
- Soil erosion around culvert openings
- Sinkholes or depressions forming near the culvert
- Pavement settling above the culvert area
- Cracks forming in nearby concrete or asphalt
- Water pooling near drainage areas
- Visible gaps around the culvert pipe
If these issues continue, the culvert structure and surrounding surfaces may become unstable.
In many cases, culvert problems are connected to settlement in nearby concrete surfaces. If surrounding slabs are sinking or losing support, Saint Louis Polyjack also provides soil stabilization, void filling, and parking lot concrete leveling to restore stability across the area.

Our Fix: Polyurethane Culvert Repair
Saint Louis Polyjack uses polyurethane injection to stabilize soil and restore support around culverts. This process helps fill empty spaces beneath the surface and strengthen weak soil around the pipe.
Our repair process works in three simple steps:
1. Drill Small Access Points
Small access points are created in the ground or surrounding surface to reach the voids around the culvert.
2. Inject Expanding Polyurethane Foam
High-density polyurethane foam is injected into the affected area. The foam expands to fill empty spaces, stabilize loose soil, and restore structural support.
3. Stabilize the Surrounding Ground
Once the voids are filled and the soil is stabilized, the surrounding surface is secured and restored.
Benefits of Polyurethane Culvert Repair
Using polyurethane injection for culvert repair provides several advantages compared to traditional excavation methods.
Some of the main benefits include:
- Minimal excavation with little disruption
- Cost-effective compared to full culvert reconstruction
- Fast repairs that avoid long project timelines
- Reinforces and stabilizes soil beneath and around the culvert
- Long-lasting structural support to prevent future failure
- Helps stop erosion and soil washout
- Improves water flow and overall drainage performance
Instead of digging out the culvert and surrounding soil, polyurethane injection strengthens the area from below while maintaining the existing structure.

FAQs – Culvert Repair
Clear answers about culvert stabilization, erosion control, and how polyurethane injection restores support.
Culverts typically fail when soil around the pipe erodes or shifts due to water movement. This can create voids that weaken the surrounding ground and lead to settlement.
In many cases, yes. Polyurethane injection can stabilize soil and fill voids around the culvert without digging up the entire structure.
The expanding foam fills empty spaces beneath the surface and strengthens loose soil. This helps restore support around the culvert and reduce future settlement.
Yes. Polyurethane injection is commonly used for culverts located beneath roads, parking lots, and commercial surfaces where excavation would be disruptive.
Yes. If surrounding concrete slabs are settling, Saint Louis Polyjack can also repair parking lots, warehouse floors, or other surfaces using the same lifting technology.
Most polyurethane stabilization projects can be completed quickly compared to excavation repairs, helping minimize disruption to the surrounding property.
