Pros To PolyJacking 

Polyjacking offers several advantages over mudjacking, making it a preferred choice for concrete leveling applications. Here are the main pros of polyjacking over mudjacking:

​

1. Faster Curing Time

​

• Polyjacking foam sets almost instantly, allowing you to walk and drive on the surface shortly after the job is done. With a mudjacking slurry it can take several hours to dry and set, before you can drive on the surface.

• ​

2. Lightweight Material

​

• Polyurethane foam used in polyjacking is much lighter than the mud used in mudjacking. This prevents adding additional weight to the soil beneath the slab causing it to sink. 

• ​

3. Longer Lasting Results

​

• Polyjacking provides a more permanent solution compared to mudjacking. The polyurethane foam is waterproof which prevents it from breaking down over time. Mudjacking on the other hand, can deteriorate or wash away with water infiltration or soil movement, reducing the longevity of the repair.

• ​

4. Smaller Injection Holes

​

• Polyjacking requires only a 3/8th-5/8th hole. (typically around the size of a penny) compared to mudjacking, which requires a 2” hole. This makes polyjacking less invasive and causes less damage to the concrete surface.

• ​

5. Less Mess

​

• Because the material used in polyjacking is a foam, polyjacking is less messy than mudjacking. The process is cleaner, more controlled, and effective long term. 

• ​

6. More Precise Control

​

• Polyjacking allows for greater precision in the amount of foam injected. The foam expands evenly beneath the slab, providing more accurate and targeted lifting.

• ​

7. Better for Moisture-Prone Areas

​

• Polyurethane foam is waterproof and does not absorb water, making it the ultimate solution for areas that are prone to moisture or flooding. Mudjacking, which contains soil and cement, can be affected by water over time, causing it to fail.
