If your driveway, sidewalk, patio, garage floor, warehouse slab, or foundation has started to settle, you’ve likely come across two common repair methods: traditional mudjacking and polyurethane foam lifting.
At Jacksonville Contracting, we offer both solutions because every project is different. The best repair method depends on the type of concrete, the soil conditions below the slab, the amount of settlement, access requirements, and the long-term goals of the repair.
Rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all solution, our team evaluates each project and recommends the method that makes the most sense for your property.
Mudjacking is a concrete lifting method that has been successfully used for decades.
The process involves drilling small holes through the concrete and pumping a cement-based material beneath the slab. As the material fills voids below the concrete, it lifts and supports the slab.
Mudjacking remains a reliable option for many residential, commercial, and municipal projects.
Polyurethane concrete lifting uses a lightweight expanding foam injected beneath the slab through small access holes.
As the foam expands, it fills voids, stabilizes the soil, and carefully raises the concrete.
Polyurethane foam has become increasingly popular because of its lightweight properties and ability to stabilize weak soils.
| Feature | Mudjacking | Polyurethane Foam |
|---|---|---|
| Concrete Lifting | Yes | Yes |
| Void Filling | Yes | Yes |
| Soil Stabilization | Good | Excellent |
| Lightweight Material | No | Yes |
| Small Injection Holes | No | Yes |
| Commercial Applications | Yes | Yes |
| Residential Applications | Yes | Yes |
| Municipal Applications | Yes | Yes |
There is no universal answer.
The right solution depends on:
Some projects are excellent candidates for traditional mudjacking. Others benefit from polyurethane foam lifting. In some cases, additional stabilization methods such as compaction grouting, soil stabilization, or helical piers may be recommended.
Many companies only offer one repair method because that is the only equipment they own.
Jacksonville Contracting takes a different approach.
By offering both mudjacking and polyurethane foam lifting, we can recommend the solution that best fits your project rather than trying to fit every project into a single repair method.
Our goal is simple: provide the right repair for the right situation.
If you’re dealing with sinking concrete, settlement, voids, or foundation concerns, our experienced team can evaluate your property and recommend the best repair option.
