Concrete Foam Leveling 101
Concrete leveling foam is a unique polyurethane material that’s pumped underneath your sinking concrete slab, sidewalk, driveway, or patio. Concrete is a very heavy material, and if the soil underneath your slab is not strong enough to support the weight, it will just sink into the ground. Injecting concrete leveling foam underneath [...]
Choose Concrete Leveling Foam Over Mudjacking!
Mudjacking was invented back in the 1930s. That’s close to 100 years ago. Here’s a clear comparison between concrete leveling foam and mudjacking, highlighting the key differences: Weight: Mudjacking slurry is heavy—about 100 pounds per cubic foot—because it’s made of sand, cement, and other natural materials. Concrete leveling foam is much lighter, [...]

These properties include mechanical strength, permeability, compressibility, durability and plasticity. Physical or mechanical improvement is common but some schools of thought prefer to use the term ‘stabilization’ [...]
