Q: How long does polyjacking last?

• <div><p>Polyjacking can be a permanent solution to sunken concrete if you also address the underlying issue&mdash;like poor drainage&mdash;at the same time. The polyurethane material itself can last as long as or even outlast the concrete you&rsquo;re lifting it with. Your sunken concrete issue will likely return if you don&rsquo;t couple polyjacking with proper drainage to prevent future soil movement and sinking. </p></div>

Q: How much foundation sinking is too much?

Any significant or uneven sinking should be assessed by a professional to determine the cause and perform any necessary repairs. </p></div>

Q: What is a good slump height?

• <div><p>A good slump height really depends on the project, but there is a use for nearly all slump levels. For example, low slumps are best in projects that require structure, such as curbs and roads.
