What is polyjack foam?
Polyjack Foam is a closed-cell foam made from polyurethane, which means it has a high density and is resistant to moisture and chemicals. Its known for its excellent insulation properties, durability, and lightweight nature.
-
How does Polyjacking work?
This technique involves injecting a specialized polyurethane foam material into the voids beneath the concrete slab, which expands and lifts the slab back to its original position. This process may include superficial crack repair or deep injection repair, depending on the severity of the project.
-
How long does the process take?
The foams curing time can range from a few minutes to a few hours, depending on the specific product used. Once the foam has fully cured, the lifted concrete slab can be used immediately.
-
What are the benefits?
Polyjacking foam offers several benefits compared to traditional methods like mudjacking. It is lightweight, meaning less stress on the underlying soil and reduced risk of future settlement. Its precise and controlled, making it easier for technicians to achieve the desired lift. Its quick and efficient, with minimal downtime. The foam cures rapidly, allowing for immediate use. Polyjacking foam leaves long lasting results with its resistance to erosion, moisture and chemical damage. It’s an environmentally friendly solution as it does not contain harmful chemicals or pollutants. Polyjacking is a cost-effective alternative to other concrete leveling methods. Not only will you save on labor costs compared to more time-consuming techniques, additionally the long-term durability reduces the likelihood of future repairs, saving on maintenance expenses.

What is the cost compared to traditional concrete repair methods?
Polyjacking requires fewer workers, cures quickly, and reduces the likelihood of future settlement issues. It offers a long-term cost saving and can help avoid cstly repairs or replacements down the line.
-
Is it environmentally friendly?
Yes! Less material is needed, resulting in reduced resource consumption. There is reduced waste generation and landfill impact through the polyjacking process, as this technique minimizes the need for demolishing. The foam is non-toxic and does not release harmful chemicals or leach into the soil or water, making it a safer option for the environment.
