Benefits of Polyjacking
Fast Acting
15 minutes after injection, your concrete slab is ready to walk on or support vehicular traffic.
Minimally-Invasive
Polyjacking does not require any excavation.
Lightweight
The lightweight foam does not contribute to future soil settlement, unlike the heavy material used in mudjacking.
Environmentally Friendly
Polyurethane foam is inert and won't react with soil or moisture; it won't leach harmful chemicals into the ground.
Cost-Effective
Save up to 50% compared with traditional concrete slab replacement.
Waterproof
Once cured, the polyurethane material will not wash away.
