This is why we proudly offer our Concrete Step Leveling & Lifting service using the cutting-edge polyjacking method, today’s go-to alternative to traditional mudjacking.
Your home’s porch or patio is more than just an extension of your living space; it’s a place for relaxation, family gatherings, and creating memories. But when the concrete beneath your feet begins to settle or crack, it detracts from your home’s aesthetic and poses safety concerns, too. Our specialized polyjacking (polyurethane foam injection) service promises to restore your outdoor space to its original glory – ensuring beauty, safety, and longevity for years to come.
What Is Polyjacking
Polyjacking, also known as polyurethane foam injection, is an innovative and advanced technique designed to level and stabilize concrete slabs.
Rather than the messy and invasive process of excavation and replacement, polyjacking involves the precise injection of high-density polyurethane foam beneath the concrete steps. This eco-friendly foam expands, filling voids, and gently lifts the steps to their original position.

How Does Polyjacking Work?
- Site Evaluation – Polyjacking starts with a thorough evaluation of the concrete steps to determine the extent of the damage and the best approach for leveling. The technicians will assess the condition of the concrete and the underlying soil, as well as the surrounding area, to identify any underlying issues that may be contributing to the problem.
- Hole Drilling – Once the evaluation is complete, the next step is to drill small, strategically placed holes into the sunken areas of the concrete steps. These holes, typically dime-sized in diameter, provide access for the foam injection process.
- Foam Injection – The two-component polyurethane foam is then injected through the holes using specialized equipment designed to ensure even distribution and precise control. As the foam expands, it gently lifts the concrete steps back to their original position, filling any voids and gaps beneath the surface.
- Precision Leveling – During the lifting process, the technicians carefully monitor the foam expansion to ensure the steps are leveled with precision. This is important to avoid over-lifting or under-lifting, which can lead to additional damage or instability.
- Cleaning and Sealing – Once the concrete steps have been lifted and leveled, the holes are sealed to prevent water infiltration and other issues. The site is then cleaned to remove any debris or residue, leaving your concrete steps looking and functioning like new.
The Polyjacking Advantage
Choosing polyjacking over other methods comes with numerous advantages for your property’s steps:
For Homeowners:
One of the most significant benefits of polyjacking is that it can improve curb appeal and increase the value of your home. Uneven steps can be a significant eyesore and can make your property look neglected and poorly maintained. Fixing these issues with polyjacking can help enhance the visual appeal and overall marketability of your property.
Polyjacking is also a minimally invasive procedure that does not require excavation or demolition work. This means that the integrity and longevity of your property are maintained, and you can avoid the expensive and disruptive procedures associated with traditional methods. Moreover, the repair turnaround time is rapid, and you can have your property back in use in no time.
For Property Managers:
For property managers, polyjacking helps to enhance tenant satisfaction and safety with minimally disruptive repairs.
Property managers have a legal responsibility to ensure the safety of tenants, and polyjacking is a cost-effective and efficient way to avoid legal liabilities associated with trip and fall accidents on your premises.
For Commercial Businesses:
Commercial businesses also benefit from polyjacking as it ensures business operations continue unhindered. With the quick repair turnaround times, businesses can avoid any downtime associated with traditional repair methods.
Additionally, polyjacking prioritizes the safety and accessibility of commercial spaces for employees and clients, which is crucial for the success of any business.
Common Questions About Polyjacking
Is polyjacking environmentally friendly?
When it comes to environmental friendliness, polyjacking can be considered a sustainable solution. The foam-like substance used in this technique is made of polyurethane, which is a type of plastic that can be recycled and reused. Additionally, the foam is non-toxic and does not release harmful chemicals that can harm the environment.
Compared to other methods of concrete repair, polyjacking is also less wasteful. Traditional methods like mudjacking or concrete replacement require the disposal of large amounts of concrete or soil. However, with polyjacking, there is little to no waste produced during the process.
Another factor to consider is that polyjacking is a relatively quick and efficient method of concrete repair. This means that less time is required on the job site, resulting in fewer emissions from construction equipment and vehicles.
How long does polyjacking last?
One of the most common questions homeowners have about polyjacking is how long the repair will last. The answer to this question can vary depending on a few different factors. First and foremost, the quality of the polyurethane material used during the injection process will play a significant role in the longevity of the repair. High-quality materials can last for years or even decades, while lower-quality materials may only provide a temporary fix.
Other factors that can impact the longevity of the repair include weather conditions, soil type, and other environmental factors.
In general, most polyjacking repairs will last for many years. Some homeowners report that their repairs have held up for well over a decade. The key to ensuring the longest possible lifespan for your polyjacking repair is to choose a reputable contractor who uses high-quality materials and who can provide ongoing maintenance and support as needed.
Will the foam used in polyjacking wash away over time?
The short answer is no. The foam used in polyjacking does not wash away over time. This is because the expanding foam used in polyjacking is specifically designed to be durable and long-lasting. The foam is made from a polyurethane material that is resistant to water, chemicals, and other environmental factors. As a result, the foam can withstand even heavy rainfall and will not break down or erode over time.
In fact, the foam used in polyjacking is so durable that it can even help protect the concrete steps from future settling or shifting. This is because the foam expands to fill any voids or gaps beneath the steps, creating a solid base that helps distribute the weight of the concrete more evenly. As a result, the steps are less likely to settle or shift again in the future.
Why is polyjacking better than mudjacking?
Polyjacking is a superior alternative to mudjacking due to its numerous advantages. Polyjacking is a method used to repair concrete slabs (including steps) by injecting a polymer foam underneath them. Polyurethane foam is injected into the ground to lift and level the concrete, filling any voids and stabilizing the soil. This process is fast, efficient, and cost-effective when compared to mudjacking.
One of the primary benefits of polyjacking over mudjacking is that polyjacking is lightweight and does not add any additional weight to the soil beneath the concrete. Mudjacking, on the other hand, uses a heavy mixture of cement and mud, which can place more weight on already unstable soil and potentially cause more damage.
Polyjacking is also a more versatile and precise method of concrete leveling than mudjacking. Polyurethane foam can be injected into smaller and tighter spaces, allowing for the repair of even the smallest cracks and voids. Polyjacking can also be used on a variety of surfaces, such as concrete steps, floors, sidewalks, driveways, and pool decks, whereas mudjacking is typically restricted to larger surfaces.
Another advantage of polyjacking is that it is a more environmentally friendly option than mudjacking. The polyurethane foam used in polyjacking is made from recyclable materials and produces fewer emissions during the installation process than mudjacking.
How much does it cost to level and lift concrete steps using polyjacking?
A: The cost of leveling and lifting concrete steps using polyjacking can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the size and extent of the damage, the location of the steps, and the accessibility of the site.
Typically, the cost of polyjacking a small set of concrete steps can range from $500 to $1,000. For larger or more complex projects, the cost may be higher, but in most cases, it still remains more affordable than other methods.
Additionally, polyjacking is a long-lasting solution and can prevent further damage from occurring in the future, making it a wise investment for homeowners or property managers
