VoidForm Products

What VoidForm Products does

VoidForm Products, LLC is a U.S.-based specialty manufacturer of soil expansion mitigation products, founded in 1980 and headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas with administrative offices in Englewood, Colorado. The company designs and produces carton void forms and utility isolation systems that create permanent or degrading void spaces between concrete structures and expansive, corrosive, collapsible, or seismic soils. Its product portfolio centers on three core platforms — SureVoid (degradable corrugated paper forms), StormVoid (non-degradable copolymer polypropylene forms for wet conditions), and PlumbingVoid (patented utility-isolation system) — supplemented by the Canadian-specific CaraCor line, the Mudskipper plumbing isolation system, the VF Hanger Assembly, and accessory components (BackFill Retainers, SureCover/StormCover Boards, Vapor Barriers, SureTops).

The business operates through direct sales supported by project take-off, engineering specification, and on-site installation assistance, plus a dealer network that includes 118 Canadian distributors. Products are configured per project based on geotechnical reports (Potential Vertical Rise of soil), making each sale a custom-engineered solution rather than a commoditized SKU. VoidForm sells to commercial, industrial, municipal/government, and residential construction segments, with cumulative disclosed outcomes of 178+ million square feet of protected concrete, 560+ large industrial projects, and 8,250+ residential projects.

In January 2026, Argonaut Private Equity sold VoidForm to White Cap, a Tulsa-based national construction supplies distributor, integrating VoidForm into a much larger distribution platform while the company continues to operate with its existing 130+ employees across eight U.S. and one Canadian facilities. The company's IP position rests on U.S. Patent No. 11,480,267 (Mudskipper) plus pending U.S., PCT, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand filings, and on 45 years of accumulated domain expertise in void-form engineering and expansive-soil mitigation.

Core offering

VoidForm Products manufactures and distributes soil expansion mitigation products, including degradable paper-based carton void forms (SureVoid), non-degradable plastic-based void forms (StormVoid), utility isolation systems (PlumbingVoid, Mudskipper), and supporting accessories used in cast-in-place concrete construction. Products create permanent void spaces between concrete structures (slabs, beams, walls, piers) and expansive, corrosive, collapsible, or seismic soils to prevent structural damage and protect below-grade plumbing and conduit. VoidForm designs the configuration for each application based on project-specific geotechnical reports and ships through direct sales and dealer networks across the U.S. and Canada.

Product overview

VoidForm Products is a manufacturer of soil expansion mitigation products that protect concrete structures and underground utilities from damaging expansive, corrosive, collapsible, and seismic soil conditions. The product portfolio centers around three core void system platforms: SureVoid (degradable paper-based carton forms), StormVoid (non-degradable plastic-based forms), and PlumbingVoid (utility isolation). These systems are complemented by the Canadian-specific CaraCor line and add-on components including the Mudskipper plumbing isolation system, VF Hanger Assembly, BackFill Retainers, SureCover/StormCover Boards, Vapor Barriers, and SureTops. The products work together to create void spaces between concrete and soil, allowing soil expansion without damaging structures. The company operates manufacturing facilities across the US and Canada and was acquired by White Cap in January 2026.

Products and services

• SureVoid Degradable Void System Paper-based carton void forms that degrade over time through moisture absorption, creating void spaces between concrete structures (walls, beams, slabs, piers) and expansive soil to prevent structural damage from soil heave. Designed to lose strength through moisture absorption while maintaining structural integrity during concrete placement. Aimed at commercial, industrial, and residential concrete construction projects sited on expansive soils.
• StormVoid Non-Degradable Void System Plastic-based waterproof void forms with non-degradable interior components made from copolymer polypropylene that create a permanent void space between slab and soil. Can be installed in wet conditions or even submerged without losing structural integrity. Aimed at construction sites with high water tables, wet weather, or submerged conditions where paper-based forms degrade.
• CaraCor Canadian Void System Wax-coated corrugated paper void product line specifically engineered for Canadian soil conditions, including frost heave. Includes CaraCor Slab, CaraCor Beam, CaraCor Pier, and CaraCor VSV variants, with knock-down configurations (FloorVoid, BeamVoid) for cost-effective shipping. Aimed at Canadian concrete construction projects.
• PlumbingVoid Utility Isolation System Patented system protecting below-grade plumbing and conduit from expansive and corrosive soils by creating permanent void space and uniformly distributing loads. Uses channeled polypropylene side panels, end caps, and top caps with patented pressure redirection design such that pressure is exclusively applied to the system and not the pipes. Aimed at commercial, industrial, and government projects with critical below-grade utilities on challenging soils.
• Mudskipper Plumbing Isolation System Patented system isolating plumbing under slab-on-void form foundations from expansive soil movement and protecting transitions at flexible expansion joints. Includes Mudskipper Framing (strut channels, stakes, rods, decking, walls), Mudskipper Vault, Clamps, Tails, and FLEX-TEND flexible expansion joints. Protected by U.S. Patent No. 11,480,267 and multiple U.S., PCT, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand pending applications. Aimed at construction projects requiring fully isolated plumbing and mechanical systems beneath void form foundations.
• VF Hanger Assembly (Super Hanger) Non-corrosive pipe and conduit hanger component made from PVC hanger material and fiberglass threaded rods. Accommodates up to 650-pound loads and up to 10-inch pipe diameters. Designed to flex when soil pressure is applied, keeping pipes protected within the void space. Integral to the PlumbingVoid system for suspending utilities, and sold as a standalone hanger assembly for use with void form foundations.
• BackFill Retainer Polypropylene copolymer plastic retainer that prevents backfill soil from displacing void space under grade beams and slab edges. Available in a wide range of sizes and strengths. Aimed at construction projects requiring backfilled void edges that retain their shape against soil pressure.
• SureCover Board / StormCover Board Protective cover boards providing point-load puncture protection for void forms. SureCover Boards come in various weights; StormCover Board provides 5mm weatherproof protection. Aimed at construction sites needing to protect void form systems from point loads or weather during installation and pour.
• Vapor Barriers Plastic sheets in various grades and thicknesses placed between void form systems and concrete to prevent moisture infiltration into structures. Used as part of void form installations beneath slabs on grade.
• SureTops Cylindrical forms designed for the upper portion of poured-in-place concrete piers, creating smooth edges to ensure uplift pressure does not damage the pier. Available in both corrugated and waterproof versions. Aimed at pier foundation applications.
