When people need their concrete leveled, they most likely come across two different options. The first option is mud jacking and the second is foam lifting. What are the differences between these two options? Which one will be better in the long run?<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Mud jacking has been around for decades and has been the go-to for a long time. This form of concrete raising involves drilling a hole a few inches in diameter through the concrete. The technicians then pump a slurry mix consisting of cement, soil, and water through the concrete. This process lifts the concrete back to its original height leaving a large hole in the concrete to be patched. The average slurry mixes when hardened averages close to an addition 100 LBS per square foot. This weight is directly connected to the slab. Eventually, the slab will sink more with the additional weight added.<\/span><\/p>

On the other hand, foam lifting uses foam instead of additional concrete. This method is known by a variety of names. Some names include polyurethane foam lifting, foam jacking, poly-leveling, concrete foam lifting, and much more. Foam lifting involves drilling a 3\/8th<\/sup>\u00a0inch hole in the concrete and using a foam gun to inject the chemical mixture underneath the slab. As soon as the mixture is underneath the concrete, it starts expanding and slowly raising the concrete. The foam doesn\u2019t weight the slab down since its only weights 2-4 LBS per square foot. It also cures in rapid time and only takes 15 minutes to reach 90% strength. When the technicians are all done, covering the hole is very simple as it just needs a little bit of silicon caulk.<\/p>

What do you think now about mud jacking and foam lifting? Which one will be better for you in the long run?<\/p>
