## What is Polyjacking?

Polyjacking uses a two-part expanding polyurethane that reacts on contact with the underlying soil, lifting concrete in minutes. The cured foam is lightweight, water-resistant, and dimensionally stable, so it works where heavy mudjacking grout shouldn't go (interior slabs, pool decks, lightweight sub-bases).

## How polyurethane foam lifts concrete

Have you ever tripped over a sunken concrete slab on your property? It is incredibly frustrating to watch your beautiful driveway or pool deck sink. We know exactly how stressful those uneven surfaces can feel, which is why the Polyurethane Foam Injection (Polyjacking) process is such a game-changer.

You might be surprised to learn that fixing it takes minutes, not days.

Our team at Concrete Leveling Detroit uses a high-performance, two-part polyurethane that completely changes the repair process. The advantages are clear right from the start:

-   **Small holes:** We only need to drill 5/8-inch holes, which are about the size of a penny.
-   **Fast expansion:** The two parts react on contact with the sub-soil to lift the slab rapidly.
-   **Lightning-fast cure:** The material hardens to 90% strength in just 15 to 30 minutes.

We love how the cured foam is incredibly lightweight, hydrophobic, and chemically stable. This means it repels water and prevents future washouts. For Metro Detroit homeowners, that brings some amazing benefits:

-   A pool deck lifted without draining the pool
-   An interior slab lifted with no concern about adding load to a compromised sub-base
-   A pool-edge slab that won’t wash out from chlorinated water

## When polyjacking beats slab-jacking

Foam, often called polyjacking, and slab-jacking both lift concrete effectively. The best choice always depends on the specific conditions of your property. We diagnose the issue on-site to pick the absolute right method for your home.

### The Weight and Strength Difference

A major difference between the two methods is the weight of the material. Traditional slurry mixes can weigh over 100 pounds per cubic foot. Our polyurethane foam weighs only 2 to 6 pounds per cubic foot.

This massive weight difference matters when you have weak soil. Adding heavy mud to a compromised sub-base can actually cause the concrete to sink again later. We prefer polyjacking for delicate areas because it provides 40 to 60 PSI of compressive strength.

That is enough power to easily support a 4,000-pound passenger vehicle without burdening the soil. The table below compares the two options side by side:

| Condition | Polyjacking | Slab-Jacking |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Pool deck / pool-edge slabs | ✅ Best | OK |
| Interior slabs (basement, garage) | ✅ Best | Heavy |
| Heavy exterior driveways | OK | ✅ Best |
| Deep voids | OK | ✅ Best |
| Weight-sensitive sub-bases | ✅ Best | Avoid |
| Cure time | ~15 minutes | Same-day |

## What it costs

Polyjacking pricing scales just like other leveling work. The total expense depends on a few key factors that vary by property. We want to be completely transparent about these numbers.

Several elements will influence your final quote:

-   **Total square footage:** Larger areas cost more overall but often have a lower price per square foot.
-   **Depth of settling:** Slabs that have sunk several inches require more material to lift.
-   **Property access:** Hard-to-reach areas take a little more time and effort to repair.

National data for 2026 shows that polyurethane foam injection averages $8 to $25 per square foot. Smaller repair projects tend to cost more per square foot than larger driveways. We often see minimum job fees ranging from $300 to $700 to cover the trip and specialized equipment.

Most Metro Detroit residential jobs run anywhere from $800 to $5,000. That might sound like a big investment up front.

> Our customers consistently find this is 50% to 80% cheaper than pouring brand new concrete.

Tearing out an old slab takes days and destroys your landscaping. We offer a completely free on-site estimate with zero obligation.

How It Works

## How Polyjacking works in Metro Detroit

01

### Diagnose the right method

Foam vs. limestone-foam vs. hybrid: we pick based on slab type, weight load, and sub-soil.

02

### Drill 3/8-inch ports

Pencil-diameter ports drilled through the slab.

03

### Inject two-part polyurethane

Foam reacts on contact with sub-soil and expands, lifting the slab in minutes.

04

### Patch and confirm

Color-matched patches and same-day return-to-use.

Customer Reviews

## What Metro Detroit customers say about our work.

"Armando's crew lifted our sunken driveway in Sterling Heights back to grade in one afternoon. The 3/8-inch holes were almost invisible after they patched them. Saved us close to $5,000 vs. tearing out and repouring."

Mike D.

Sterling Heights, MI

"We had a real trip-hazard problem at our retail plaza in Dearborn, exposure was a worry. Their commercial team came out, gave us an honest assessment, and brought everything back into ADA spec the next weekend. No subcontractors, no surprises."

Janet R., Property Manager

Dearborn, MI

FAQ

## Polyjacking FAQ

Common questions about this service.

How fast does polyurethane foam cure?

About 15 minutes after injection. Most slabs are fully usable within a few hours.

When should I choose foam over mudjacking?

Foam wins where weight matters: interior slabs, pool decks, lightweight sub-bases. Mudjacking (or our limestone-foam hybrid) wins on heavy exterior driveways and deep voids.

Is polyurethane foam waterproof?

Yes — the cured foam is water- and chemical-resistant. It won't wash out under hydrostatic pressure or pool chemistry.

How long does polyjacking last?

Typically 10+ years with stable sub-soil. Foam doesn't degrade with normal exposure to water, salt, or temperature swings.
