Concrete is one of the most durable construction materials around, but poor installation, wear and tear, exposure to chemicals, and extreme temperatures can all take a toll on your concrete surfaces.
In civil engineering, concrete leveling is a procedure that attempts to correct an uneven concrete surface by altering the foundation that the surface sits upon.
Concrete leveling is a quick, convenient, and cost-effective way to solve many common concrete problems.
Our foams are environmentally friendly, consisting of 39-49% renewable and recycled materials.

If you have concrete that’s no longer level, there’s a faster, cleaner, cost-effective alternative to mudjacking and concrete replacement; the answer is professional concrete lifting and leveling with PolyFoam Injection.
Concrete settlement is a common problem for residential and commercial properties in the Twin Cities. Sunken cracked concrete walkways, driveways, steps and indoor concrete flooring don’t get better on their own. They become serious safety hazards and should be addressed quickly to avoid further sinking. Lifting concrete back to its initial level will restore its usability and preserve your property value.
Concrete raising is typically about half the cost of replacing the concrete. Ultimately, the cost of raising or stabilizing concrete is a direct reflection of how much leveling material the project will require.
The Polyurethane material will never lose density, is permanent and weighs only about two pounds per cubic foot, compared to traditional mudjacking material which weighs on average 100 lbs per cubic foot
Foamjection foam leaves the smallest carbon footprint in comparison to ALL other concrete lifting polyurethanes
Polyurethane concrete raising requires nearly invisible ⅝” holes (size of a dime) drilled and the process calls for considerably fewer holes than traditional mudjacking. Minimal patchwork needed.

If your concrete is sinking, there is a very good possibility that the concrete slab was installed on poorly compacted fill dirt. Sub-surface erosion and shrinking soils are also possibilities.
Slabjacking is one of the primary services that we offer. In previous articles, we’ve explained how it works, when it won’t work, and compared it to helical piers as a repair option.
This concrete repair can be done in virtually any weather. The material injected beneath the slab provides a strong base.
There is little or no disruption to landscaping.
Nothing needs to be moved off the slab, as the pump can lift the weight of the slab and anything you have placed on it.
Mudjacking typically involves shoveling the grout material into a mixer, adding water and pumping agents to achieve a good consistency, and then dumping that slurry into a mudjacking pump hopper. The pump is then mobilized to the area to be raised. When the hopper is empty, the pump must be hauled back to the mixing area to be refilled with another load. With polyurethane injection, many of these steps are eliminated.
Homeowners, property owners and municipalities may experience concrete becoming uneven on:
Any of these situations can pose significant safety and potential liability issues.

It is simple math. Concrete contractors must make up to three trips to a location to replace a simple slab of concrete with removal, framing, pouring, removal of framing material and cutting. Add to this the ever growing problem of environmental constraints of concrete disposal: the replacement of a simple 10’x10’ piece of driveway, walkway, or pool deck can cost upwards of a $1000.

Sunken concrete can be unsightly, but that is only part of the problem. It can cause tripping hazards and also lead to concrete structural damage. What’s needed is a fix that can withstand the harsh effects of the weather.
With Foamjection you can feel good about raising your concrete using our product. Our concrete leveling foam contains no harmful chemicals, and since you are raising and not replacing your concrete, that means no slabs in the landfill. Plus our foam is made from 39-49% recycled and renewable materials. The material won’t leach anything harmful into the ground and is created specifically for lifting concrete.
The good news is that lifting and leveling the concrete garage floor is a relatively simple process, although there are cost and concrete replacement elements. In order to lift a garage floor, not the entire concrete slab has to be removed or replaced.
