Does expanding foam lift concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, expanding foam (also known as polyurethane foam) can lift concrete. This approach, called polyjacking, involves injecting the foam rather than concrete slurry to fill voids and raise the concrete slab back into place. It’s often faster and requires smaller drill holes than traditional mudjacking, though it may come at a higher cost. Some contractors also prefer <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/mudjacking-vs-polyjacking.htm">polyjacking over mudjacking</a> for more damaged and delicate slabs.</p></div>

Can mudjacking damage my foundation?

• <div><p>Mudjacking is usually reserved for light-duty slabs, like patios, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-concrete-driveway-cost.htm">driveways</a>, and sidewalks. However, it can be an effective way to lift garage slabs and concrete around the perimeter of the home, which could harm your foundation if it’s not done properly. The risk of damage is why having a professional mudjacking company carry out the work is important. This type of slab or foundation repair is relatively inexpensive, especially if you consider that a DIY job requires that you pay to rent the necessary equipment.</p></div>

Q: Is there an alternative to underpinning?

• <div><p>There is no real alternative to underpinning, although mudjacking and polyjacking are other repair methods that can add support from underneath your foundation. Rather than placing supportive piers under your structure, these involve pumping a material under your slab to lift a sunken section back into its original position. Polyjacking, in particular, is sometimes a suitable solution for stabilization issues under slab foundations, but underpinning is often accepted as the best and most permanent solution.</p></div>

Q: Do concrete mudjacking companies need to be licensed?

• <div><p>Most states and municipalities don&rsquo;t require concrete mudjacking companies to carry a specific license, but they usually need to have a general contractor&rsquo;s license, and they should be fully insured. The only exception is if the mudjacking company provides foundation repairs as well, or if it offers mudjacking for home foundations. In that case, they will typically need a foundation repair contractor&rsquo;s license. You can check state requirements and then use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">license lookup tool</a> to confirm that a company is properly licensed to provide mudjacking services in your area.</p></div>

Q: Can mudjacking be used for all types of concrete floors or surfaces?

• <div><p>Mudjacking is suitable for sidewalks, driveways, patios, and nearly all exterior flat structures. However, it may not suit severely damaged or heavily cracked areas.</p></div>

"They did great. The entire surface was level and free from tripping hazards. It is important to have them seal the cracks because there will be water from snow melt and the concrete will move. This will get you the 5 yr warrantee just in case."

"We had our concrete floors raised as they have settled over the years. Joey and Derrick were the team that did the raising. Fantastic professionals and excellent workmanship. They not only answered our questions but explained why and how the foam worked. I was a home builder for 10 years and can recognize good workman. These two were outstanding.

"After dealing with water intrusion in our basement for years, I finally decided to see what I could do to fix it. After getting numerous estimates, I moved ahead with the work with All-Star Basements. Not only did they give me a great price, but they did not try to sell me many extra things I did not need. They put a waterproofing system in 3/4 of my basement and a sealed sump system that is quiet and working great! I have not had any water all summer and am very happy! Although the job itself was somewhat messy, they cleaned up very well and made sure I was happy and satisfied before they left. I was recommended them by a friend who has been a realtor for many years and he was right... great company and I have a dry basement now! My dehumidifier I had always run before now runs much less and has no problem keeping up when it does run. I had them back a few weeks ago to Mud Jack a driveway section that was uneven and that went very well also. It is now level and only took a few hours. I would highly recommend them to anyone!"
