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 are the benefits of using concrete injection leveling?

• <div><p>It restores concrete, prevents replacement cost disruptions, reduces trip hazards, and provides stability at a lower cost.</p></div>

Q: Can you lift a sinking foundation?

• <div><p>A sinking foundation can be lifted, most often by installing piers to re-level and support the weight of the house. Depending on the cause and extent of the sinking, other methods to lift a foundation include underpinning and mudjacking. Consult a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/foundation-repair/">foundation repair pro</a> to determine the best way to lift your sinking foundation. </p></div>

Q: How long does concrete leveling take?

• <div><p>Most projects take 1-3 hours, with immediate usability after completion.</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>
