Polyurethane Foam Concrete Driveway Lifting - PolyLift

The rigid expanding foam does not shrink and wash away overtime and the extreme lightweight reduces the just of overburdening the soil below. All of which results in a materiel that will last as long as the concrete its supporting. To learn more about the benefits of polyurethane visit our polyurethane vs mudjacking page to learn more.
How to Fix a Sunken & Uneven Driveway
Fixing sunken driveways is a common repair for us here at Concrete Hero. We use an advanced but yet simple process to bring driveways back to where they belong. It all starts with drilling small penny sized holes in each section in need of lifting. Typically we just need 2-3 holes per 10’x10″ section. Then we inject an expanding foam below the slab. The foam will fill all open voids, solidify the soil and then begin to raise the concrete. Once the concrete is at the correct level, we patch the hole with mortar and that’s it! That driveway is restored back to its original position and the repair is just about unnoticeable.
