Concrete Lifting with Foam Jacking- The Superior Solution for Kansas City Concrete Repair
Is your concrete driveway, sidewalk, patio, or pool deck showing signs of sinking or unevenness? Don’t rush to replace it! Concrete lifting with foam jacking could save you thousands of dollars. We can use high-tech polyurethane foam to repair virtually any concrete slab that has settled, restoring its original level and appearance. Our team at Concrete Raising Systems will assess your concrete and determine if foam jacking is the right solution for you.
Why Choose Foam Jacking for Concrete Repair?
Concrete lifting with foam, or foam jacking, is the best choice for raising concrete slabs in driveways, sidewalks, patios, garage floors, and porches. If the height difference between concrete slabs is ¼” or more, it’s time to consider concrete lifting. Addressing these issues promptly is crucial. Over time, gaps in concrete slabs can worsen, leading to further damage and erosion. For driveways adjacent to garages, immediate action is even more critical to prevent costly foundation problems. Thirty percent (30%) of our concrete repair jobs involve re-lifting concrete driveways or sidewalks that have previously undergone unsuccessful traditional mud jacking.
Small Jobs? No Problem! We Handle Them All!
At Concrete Raising Systems, we welcome projects of all sizes. We understand that even small concrete issues can be a major concern, and we’re here to help.
Foam Jacking vs. Traditional Mudjacking. A Clear Winner
We use recycled, U.S.-made polyurethane foam, often called “mudjacking foam,” to fill the voids beneath sunken concrete. Unlike traditional mudjacking, which uses a mixture of soil, water, and cement, our foam injection method allows for the precise filling of even the smallest cracks and voids. This is critical, as these voids are the primary cause of sinking. Traditional mudjacking also carries the risk of water evaporation from the fill, which can lead to further settling. With Kansas City’s recent dry spells, this risk is even higher. Again, 30% of our jobs involve correcting previous mudjacking failures.
Thirty percent of the concrete repair jobs we do are to lift a concrete driveway or sidewalk back into place again after traditional mud jacking has failed.
The Power of Expanding Foam in Concrete Lifting
Our two-part polyurethane foam expands upon injection, like shaving cream, reaching every void and ensuring complete support for your concrete. This expanding foam can flow up to 7 feet under a concrete slab, providing comprehensive and long-lasting results.
Choosing the Right Foam Jacking Company
When comparing bids for your concrete lifting project, ensure the company uses foam specifically designed for concrete lifting, not insulating foam. This is a critical distinction that can impact the success of the repair.
