Concrete driveway leveling and lifting is restoring an uneven or sunken concrete driveway to its original level using a technique known as polyjacking. This process involves injecting a specialized polyurethane foam underneath the driveway to lift it back to its original position. This technique is a cost-effective and efficient way to repair concrete driveways, patios, and other concrete surfaces that have become uneven.

Why Do Concrete Driveways Become Uneven?

Driveways can become uneven for various reasons, including soil erosion, improper installation, and exposure to changing weather conditions, among others. When a driveway becomes uneven, it can be a safety issue, creating trip hazards and damage to vehicles. Uneven driveways can also be unsightly and reduce a property’s value. Concrete driveway leveling and lifting addresses these issues by restoring the driveway to its original level, improving safety, and enhancing the property’s overall appearance.

Leveling Concrete Driveways Using Polyjacking

Polyjacking is a technique that involves the use of a specialized machine that injects polyurethane foam into voids beneath the concrete driveway. This foam expands, fills the voids, and lifts the driveway back to its original level. Polyjacking is a quick and efficient technique requiring less labor and time than traditional mudjacking methods. Polyjacking is a permanent solution that provides long-lasting results, unlike traditional mudjacking, which may require repeat injections.

Concrete garage floors are often subjected to heavy loads, chemicals, and extreme temperatures, which can cause them to become uneven over time. The most common cause of uneven garage floors is the settling or shifting of the ground beneath them. This can occur naturally as the soil beneath the garage compresses or shifts due to environmental factors like temperature changes, water infiltration, or seismic activity. Poor soil preparation during the construction process or inadequate foundation support can also lead to uneven garage floors.

 

Another factor contributing to uneven garage floors is using low-quality or insufficient concrete. When concrete is not mixed correctly or poured too thin or without enough reinforcement, it can crack, crumble, or sink over time. Similarly, improper placement or curing of the concrete can also result in uneven surfaces.

 

Furthermore, heavy garage usage can also affect the condition of the floor. The constant movement of vehicles in and out of the garage and the storage of heavy equipment and tools can cause the concrete to deteriorate and become uneven.

 

Using Polyjacking to Level Uneven Garage Floors

 

Polyjacking is an ideal solution for concrete garage floors that have settled or shifted due to soil erosion, weak soils, or heavy traffic. The process can be completed within a few hours, and the garage floor can be used immediately after the procedure. The foam material used is also environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and non-invasive. It is designed to last for many years, providing a long-lasting solution to uneven garage floors.

Concrete porches and patios can become uneven due to a variety of reasons. One of the main culprits is soil erosion. Over time, the soil underneath the porch or patio can shift and settle, causing the concrete surface to become uneven and cracked. This can also occur due to changes in the moisture content of the soil, particularly if the area experiences periods of drought or heavy rainfall.


Another contributing factor to uneven concrete porches and patios is improper installation. If the concrete is not mixed correctly or cured, it can result in a weak and uneven surface. Additionally, if the base underneath the porch or patio is not adequately prepared, the concrete may settle and crack over time.


Heavy usage and constant exposure to the elements can also cause concrete porches and patios to become uneven. For example, heavy foot traffic can cause the surface to wear down and become uneven. Similarly, exposure to extreme temperatures, such as freezing and thawing cycles, can cause the concrete to expand and contract, leading to cracks and settlement.


How to Level an Uneven Concrete Patio or Porch Via Polyjacking

Polyjacking is a highly effective and efficient method for lifting and leveling uneven porches and patios. It involves injecting polyurethane foam into the underlying soil to provide the necessary support and stability to the slab above. The foam fills any voids or gaps in the soil, creating a solid base upon which the concrete can rest.


The process of polyjacking begins with an assessment of the extent and severity of the unevenness. A skilled technician will determine the best areas to inject the foam, taking into account factors such as soil composition, drainage patterns, and load distribution. Once the injection points have been identified, a series of small holes are drilled into the slab. The foam is then injected into the holes, through a special pump that mixes the polyurethane resin with a catalyst.


The foam expands rapidly upon contact with the soil, raising the porch or patio to the desired level. Once the slab is level, the holes are filled with a small amount of concrete to complete the repair. The entire process takes only a few hours, and there is minimal disruption to the surrounding landscape.

Misaligned steps can pose a significant risk and detract from the overall look of your property. We address these problems head-on, leveling your concrete steps to ensure each footfall is stable and secure.


Why Do Concrete Steps Become Uneven?

There are several reasons why concrete steps become uneven over time. One of the primary reasons is the natural settling of the ground underneath them. As the soil below the concrete steps shifts and moves, the concrete can become unlevel. Additionally, changes in temperature and moisture levels can lead to the expansion and contraction of the concrete, which can also contribute to unevenness.


Another factor that can lead to uneven concrete steps is wear and tear. Heavy foot traffic and exposure to harsh weather conditions can cause the concrete to crack and become damaged. These cracks can lead to further shifting and settling, resulting in uneven steps.

Improper installation can also be a contributing factor to uneven concrete steps. If the base of the steps was not correctly compacted and leveled before the concrete was poured, it can lead to future shifting and settling.


It’s important to address uneven concrete steps immediately, as they pose a safety hazard. Uneven steps can cause people to trip and fall, resulting in serious injury.  


Fixing Uneven Concrete Steps Using Polyjacking 

Polyjacking is a highly effective method for lifting and leveling uneven concrete steps. It involves injecting a specialized polyurethane foam under the affected areas, which expands and hardens to create a stable base and lift the sunken concrete back into its original position. This process is considerably less invasive and time-consuming than traditional concrete replacement methods, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications.


One of the biggest advantages of polyjacking is the ability to target specific areas of concern. By injecting the foam directly under the affected steps, technicians can precisely control the amount of lift and ensure that the entire surface is leveled uniformly. This level of accuracy is particularly important for safety reasons, as uneven steps can pose a serious tripping hazard for anyone using them.

How Polyjacking Lifts and Levels Uneven Concrete

The process of polyjacking is relatively straightforward. Here is a step-by-step explanation of how it typically works:

  1. Small holes are drilled into the surface of the concrete slab in the area where the lifting is needed.
  2. A specialized polyurethane foam is injected into the holes using a high-pressure pump. The foam is typically a two-part mixture that is combined at the time of injection.
  3. As the foam is injected, it begins to expand and fill any voids or gaps that may be present beneath the surface of the slab. This helps to raise the slab to its desired level.
  4. Once the slab has been lifted to the desired level, the holes are filled with a cementitious material that is designed to match the color and texture of the surrounding concrete.

Polyjacking has a number of advantages over other methods of lifting and leveling concrete slabs. For one thing, it is a relatively quick and non-invasive process, which means that it can be completed without disrupting the normal use of the area around the slab. Additionally, polyjacking is a highly precise method of lifting and leveling, which means that it can be used in situations where other methods may not be suitable.

What Is Polyjacking?

Polyjacking is a method of quickly repairing concrete slabs that have become uneven over time. This process involves injecting a polyurethane foam into small holes drilled into the affected slab. The foam expands and solidifies, effectively leveling the slab and providing additional support.


Polyjacking is a
popular alternative to traditional concrete lifting methods, such as mudjacking, which involves using a slurry of mud and cement to raise sunken slabs. Polyjacking has many advantages over traditional methods, including its ability to be applied in almost any weather conditions, quick application time, and lightweight material.


Polyjacking is more
cost-effective, requiring less labor and equipment than traditional methods. The polyurethane foam used in polyjacking is environmentally friendly and non-toxic, making it a safer option for workers and the environment.

Polyjacking has been used successfully to repair various concrete structures, including driveways, sidewalks, patios, and foundation slabs. It is also commonly used in commercial and industrial settings, such as warehouses and factories.

Concrete can sink or become uneven due to a variety of reasons, including poor soil compaction, heavy loads on the surface, and erosion.

 

One of the leading causes of concrete sinking is the settling of the soil beneath it. When the soil beneath the concrete is not compacted correctly or is poorly graded, it becomes unstable, and the concrete above it begins to sink. Other natural causes include soil erosion, subsidence, and freeze-thaw cycles during cold weather.

 

Human errors during the installation process can also result in uneven concrete. For example, if the concrete was not mixed correctly or the sub-base was not appropriately prepared, it can cause the concrete to sink or become uneven over time. Also, poor drainage systems around the concrete can cause water to accumulate, leading to uneven concrete.

 

Environmental factors such as heavy rainfall, flooding, and extreme temperature changes can also contribute to concrete sinking or becoming uneven. This is because water can seep into the soil beneath the concrete, causing it to become unstable and eventually sink. Extreme temperature changes can also cause the concrete to expand and contract, leading to cracks and unevenness.

The answer to this question depends on several factors, including the severity and cause of the concrete unevenness and the age and condition of the concrete. In general, polyjacking is a reliable and efficient solution for minor to moderate concrete settling and sinking issues caused by soil erosion, moisture infiltration, or inadequate soil compaction. It is also a more cost-effective and less disruptive alternative to traditional concrete replacement methods that entail excavation, removal, and re-pouring of the entire slab.

However, for severe concrete damage, such as large cracks, major displacement, or structural instability, polyjacking may not be the best solution, as it may only provide a temporary fix instead of addressing the underlying problem. In such cases, concrete replacement or other repair methods may be necessary to ensure long-term durability and safety of the structure.

Additionally, it is essential to choose a reputable and experienced polyjacking contractor who uses high-quality foam materials and advanced equipment to ensure precise and uniform lifting of the concrete slab. Hiring an unqualified or inexperienced contractor may result in subpar workmanship, uneven lifting, or even further damage to the concrete.

After injection, the foam expands and fills the voids beneath the concrete slab. The expansion process can generate significant pressure, allowing the foam to lift and stabilize the slab. Once the foam has reached its maximum expansion, it will begin to harden and cure. This process usually takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the specific foam used and the environmental conditions.

Once the foam has hardened, it forms a strong, durable support base for the concrete slab. This support base is resistant to water, chemicals, and other environmental factors, making it an ideal solution for long-term stability and support. In addition, the foam is lightweight and non-invasive, meaning it won’t add significant weight to the slab or damage the surrounding landscape.

The good news is that polyjacking does not change the appearance of the concrete surface in any significant way. The polyurethane foam used in this method is injected through small holes drilled into the concrete, which are then sealed once the process is complete. The holes are typically about the size of a penny and are strategically placed to ensure minimal impact on the surface’s appearance.

The short answer is yes. This technique can be applied to all kinds of concrete surfaces, including driveways, sidewalks, garage floors, pool decks, patios, and airport runways. The versatility of polyjacking makes it an ideal solution for various applications, from residential to commercial and industrial.

One of the primary benefits of polyjacking is its ability to address concrete issues quickly and effectively. Unlike mudjacking, which requires heavy equipment and extensive preparation, polyjacking can be completed in hours. Moreover, once the polyurethane foam mixture is injected, it expands and hardens quickly, providing a stable and level surface.

Polyjacking is also environmentally friendly and cost-effective. Since the polyurethane foam is made of eco-friendly materials, it does not threaten the environment. Polyjacking is a cost-effective solution compared to traditional concrete repair methods, as it requires fewer labor hours and materials.

The duration of the polyjacking process largely depends on the size and complexity of the project. However, it is generally a quicker and more efficient process than mudjacking. An average residential polyjacking project can take a few hours to a full day, while larger commercial projects may take multiple days to complete.

The polyjacking process involves drilling small holes into the sunken concrete and injecting polyurethane foam. The foam expands and fills the voids underneath the slab, lifting it back into place. Once the slab is level, the holes are patched, and the area is cleaned.

Polyjacking offers several advantages over mudjacking. It is a more precise and accurate method of lifting concrete, and the foam used is lightweight and does not add additional weight to the soil. The foam is water-resistant, which means it will not wash away or erode, ensuring long-lasting results.

No, polyjacking is a clean, minimally-invasive process. The foam material is injected through small holes drilled into the concrete surface, and there is minimal disruption to the area surrounding the repair site. However, it is worth noting that a small amount of mess is inevitable during the process. For example, the drilling can produce some dust and debris, which can be minimized by using proper equipment and cleaning up thoroughly after the job.
