Modern Precision with Polyurethane Foam Concrete Lifting.
When it comes to restoring sunken concrete, polyurethane foam lifting—often called polyjacking—represents the latest advancement in structural repair technology. This method is particularly effective for sensitive areas where a lightweight material is required to avoid putting additional stress on unstable soils. At Mixan Mudjacking, we utilize high-density, industrial-strength foam to provide a precision lift for driveways, pool decks, and interior commercial floors. By choosing polyurethane, you benefit from a repair that is not only incredibly fast but also environmentally stable and virtually invisible once complete.
What is polyurethane foam concrete lifting?
Polyurethane foam lifting is a process that uses the expansive properties of a specialized two-part polymer to raise and stabilize concrete. We drill tiny, 5/8-inch holes (about the size of a dime) through the sunken slab and inject the liquid polymer beneath the surface. As the components mix, a chemical reaction occurs that causes the foam to expand rapidly, filling every void and applying upward pressure to lift the concrete. Because the foam expands in all directions, it also compacts the surrounding soil, creating a solid, waterproof base that permanently supports the slab at its new, level height.
The Mixan Polyurethane Foam Concrete Lifting Process.
The success of polyurethane lifting depends on the skill of the operator and the quality of the material used. Because the foam expands so quickly, an inexperienced crew can easily “over-lift” a slab, creating new issues. At Mixan Mudjacking, our process is defined by technical control. We monitor the expansion in real-time, injecting the material in small, calculated increments to achieve a seamless transition with the surrounding concrete. We pride ourselves on “doing good work,” which means using the best equipment and the most reliable polymers to ensure a durable, long-lasting repair for your home or business.
Site & Soil Evaluation
We assess the concrete and the underlying soil to ensure polyurethane is the most effective lifting medium for your specific site.
Micro-Hole Drilling
We create a series of small-diameter injection points that are strategically mapped for a uniform, controlled lift.
Precision Foam Injection
Our technicians inject the high-density foam, carefully monitoring the slab’s movement to ensure a perfect level.
Aesthetic Finishing
We patch the small holes and clean the work zone, leaving your concrete smooth, safe, and ready for use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both are effective. Polyurethane is lighter and uses smaller holes, making it great for pool decks or sensitive soils. Traditional mudjacking is often more cost-effective for large-scale void filling.
Polyurethane is a permanent, non-biodegradable material. Once it cures, it is resistant to moisture and will not settle or wash away.
In most cases, you can drive on the surface within 15 to 30 minutes after the injection is complete.
Yes. Once cured, the high-density polyurethane we use is inert and environmentally safe, posing no threat to the surrounding soil or groundwater.
The holes are very small (about 5/8″) and are patched with concrete. They are much less noticeable than the holes used in traditional mudjacking.
