A term that many people have heard used before when it comes to the subject of lifting concrete is mud jacking. This involves pouring a concrete slurry underneath the sunken concrete slab in hopes of providing a more stable base for the slab to sit upon. Our method is revolutionary. Using polyurethane foam, which lasts much longer and provides a more stable base for the slab to sit upon, is actually much more effective than mud jacking. Continue reading todays blog post to learn more.
It’s Fast and Efficient
One of the biggest advantages of polyurethane foam is how fast the process is. We drill small holes in the slab, inject the foam underneath, and the slab rises almost instantly. Most jobs are completed in a few hours, and the surface is ready to use the same day. There’s no waiting for days of curing like with poured concrete.
Long-Lasting and Durable
Polyurethane foam is built to last. Once it expands and hardens, it creates a solid, water-resistant base that won’t break down over time. It doesn’t wash out, degrade, or settle further like other materials can. That means once your concrete is lifted, it stays that way.
Lightweight but Strong
Unlike traditional mud jacking, which uses a heavy cement slurry, polyurethane foam is lightweight. This matters because adding too much weight to already unstable soil can lead to more settling. Foam provides the lift and stability your concrete needs without adding unnecessary pressure on the ground below.
Resistant to Water and Weather
Water is one of the main culprits behind sinking slabs. Polyurethane foam is completely waterproof, so it won’t absorb moisture or contribute to future erosion. It also stands up to extreme temperatures and seasonal changes, which makes it ideal for climates with freeze-thaw cycles.
Less Invasive, Less Mess
Concrete replacement is messy and disruptive. It can take days or even weeks from start to finish, not to mention the cleanup. Polyurethane foam lifting is a much cleaner and less invasive solution. We use small injection holes, and there’s minimal disruption to landscaping, driveways, or structures.
Cost-Effective
Replacing concrete is expensive. Between demolition, hauling away old materials, and pouring new slabs, the cost adds up quickly. Foam lifting typically costs a fraction of the price of full replacement—and since it lasts for years, it’s an even better long-term value.
Eco-Friendly Option
Polyurethane foam lifting helps reduce waste by saving your existing concrete slab. Instead of sending old concrete to the landfill, we reuse what’s already there—making this method not only practical but also environmentally responsible.
