Concrete Lifting Beats Mudjacking & Full Replacement

Sunken sidewalks, sloping driveways, and uneven patios are more than just an eyesore—they create trip hazards, drainage issues, and expensive headaches down the road. At Fresh Coast Foam, our polyurethane spray foam concrete lifting service restores sunken slabs quickly, cleanly, and cost-effectively. Here’s how the process works, and why it outperforms traditional mudjacking or tearing out and replacing your concrete.

1. The Spray Foam Lifting Process: Fast, Precise, Low-Impact

1. Site Assessment & Hole Placement
   We identify low spots and voids under the slab, then drill small (¾"–1") injection ports in a precise grid—minimizing drilling to only what’s needed.
   

2. High-Density Foam Injection
   Using specialized pumps, we inject expanding polyurethane foam into each port. As the foam expands, it fills voids, compacts loose soil, and gently raises the slab back to its original level.
   

3. Real-Time Adjustment
   Technicians monitor lift heights inch by inch—injecting more foam where needed and stopping immediately when the slab is perfectly aligned.
   

4. Port Sealing & Cleanup
   Once the foam cures (in minutes), we plug each port with a color-matched epoxy patch. The result is a seamless surface, ready for foot or vehicle traffic the same day.
   
   
   

2. Why Spray Foam Outperforms Mudjacking

• Lightweight & Non-Disruptive: The low density of spray foam reduces soil compaction and minimizes pressure on the slab—helping it stay level long term.

• Rapid Cure: Foam sets in minutes, so you’re back to normal use almost instantly—no waiting on cement cures or battling mud.

• Precision Lifting: Real-time monitoring lets us match elevations exactly, restoring proper drainage and preventing future trip hazards.
  

3. Why Spray Foam Beats Full Slab Replacement

• Budget-Friendly: Avoid the high labor, material, and disposal fees of full demo—and preserve your landscaping and hardscaping features.

• Speed: In most cases, a 4×8’ slab pad is lifted and back in service in under two hours.

• Eco-Friendly: Less waste to the landfill, lower carbon footprint, and no need for fresh cement production.

• Less Hassle: No excavation trenches or large machinery—just small holes, fast cure, and a level surface.
