How Concrete Lifting Works

Polyurethane foam injection is both lightweight and durable, and is able to support and lift sunken concrete without any extra added weight.

Polyurethane foam injection lifts uneven, sunken, cracked concrete. But how you ask? At JES our polyurethane foam injection utilizes expanding foam and modern technology to lift concrete.

Unlike traditional invasive concrete repair methods such as mudjacking and concrete replacement, polyurethane foam injection utilizes high-density polymers to stabilize and lift concrete.

How Concrete Lifting Works: What is Polyurethane Foam Injection?

Polyurethane foam injection combines the proven technique of concrete lifting with a specially-engineered expansive foam.

Polyurethane foam injection provides an affordable and less invasive solution to your sunken, cracked, uneven concrete issues.

4 Steps to Concrete Lifting with Polyurethane Foam Injection

Rather than using a mixture of concrete and mud, polyurethane foam injection uses high-density polymers to raise concrete slabs using a simple 4-step process:

Step 1 – Penny-sized holes are drilled in the concrete slab

Step 2 – Foam injection ports are installed

“Polyurethane foam injection provides an affordable and less invasive solution to your sunken, cracked, uneven concrete issues.”

Step 3 – Expansive polyurethane foam is injected to support and lift the slab

Step 4 – The drilled holes are patched and smoothed out

Polyurethane Foam Injection Benefits:

Fast-acting: Reaches its final strength and is ready to support weight within 15 minutes

Noninvasive: Less messy than the mixture of concrete and mud used in mudjacking

Lightweight- Weighs 4-6 lbs. per cubic foot when installed, which is significantly less than the 120 lbs. per cubic foot as typical fill material

Waterproof – Cannot be washed out and is not affected by freeze and thaw cycles

Precise & Accurate Lift – foam reaction time provides target lifting operation

Environmentally friendly – Foam does not react with soil and does not release harmful chemicals
