Concrete Leveling Cedar Rapids: How Polyfoam Injection Works

Stronger Than Mudjacking. Faster Than Replacement.

For years, mudjacking was the go-to method for raising sunken concrete. While it’s still used in some applications, today’s technology offers a better way. Our team uses a process called polyjacking: injecting expanding polyurethane foam underneath the slab to lift it from below.

Here’s how it works:

1. We drill small, clean holes into the affected slab (about the size of a penny).
2. Polyfoam is injected beneath the slab, where it expands and fills any voids.
3. The foam gently lifts the concrete back into place.
4. We seal the holes, clean the site, and you're good to go–often within hours.
   
   

Compared to traditional mudjacking, foam injection:

• Requires smaller holes
  
• Won’t add unnecessary weight to already weak soil
• Cures faster (within minutes)
• Offers longer-lasting stability

Why Uneven Concrete Is More Than Just an Eyesore

Settled slabs might seem like a cosmetic issue, but they come with real risks:

• Trip hazards for you, your family, and guests
• Water pooling near your foundation or basement walls
• Further cracking due to poor drainage
• Code compliance issues for businesses and rental properties
  
  

Leveling your concrete doesn’t just improve curb appeal, it improves safety, accessibility, and home value. Our polyjacking process lets you fix the problem without the hassle of a full replacement.
