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>

Q: What is the cost range for concrete injection leveling?

• <div><p>Charges correlate with surface size, settlement depth, and access, often yielding significant savings over concrete replacement.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for polyjacking to cure?

• <div><p>The polyurethane used for polyjacking will expand and cure in 15 to 30 minutes. After that point, your slab will be safe to walk on and even drive on in the case of a sidewalk or concrete driveway. Double-check with your concrete lifting specialist to confirm a curing timeline, as products can differ. </p></div>

Q: How long does mudjacking take to dry and cure before the concrete can be used?

• <div><p>Mudjacking typically takes 24 to 72 hours (one to three days) to dry and cure completely before you can resume normal use. The exact time can vary depending on the size of the project. Because the slurry mixture contains cement, it must fully harden to ensure that added weight from walking, furniture, or vehicles won't shift the concrete slab. A professional contractor can advise you on when the surface is safe to use. For comparison, if you use polyjacking instead, the polyurethane foam can dry in just a few minutes, but it's best to wait about an hour before use.</p></div>

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>
