Our State-of-the-Art Concrete Leveling Technique is the Best Choice for Menasha, WI, Area Homeowners

Have the concrete slabs in your driveway, patio, or sidewalk shifted over time, resulting in an uneven surface? ABT Foundation Solutions, Inc. — a locally owned company serving the Menasha, Wisconsin, area since 2002 — can fix this problem using an innovative concrete leveling process known as polyjacking. After removing any dirt and debris from an uneven slab, we drill holes into the slab at predetermined locations, then inject expanding polyurethane foam into the holes. As the foam expands, it fills any empty spaces beneath the slab, then lifts the slab back into place.

If you’ve been researching concrete leveling contractors in the Menasha, WI, area, you’ve no doubt come across the terms “mudjacking” and “slab jacking.” These concrete leveling methods are similar to polyjacking in that they involve pumping a substance below an uneven concrete slab to raise the slab. Instead of the expanding polyurethane foam used in polyjacking, however, mudjacking and slab jacking require the use of a sludge-like substance often containing a mixture of soil, sand, cement, and water. Expanding polyurethane foam offers a number of advantages over the material used for mudjacking and slab jacking, including the following:

• It’s lighter — Expanding polyurethane foam only weighs a few pounds per cubic foot, while the material required for mudjacking and slab jacking weighs approximately 100 pounds per cubic foot. The excess weight can place a hefty burden on the potentially unstable soil below.
• It requires smaller drill holes — The drill holes required for expanding polyurethane foam are approximately ⅝” wide (about the size of a penny). Mudjacking and slab jacking, on the other hand, often require holes at least 1” to 2” wide (about the size of a golf ball). Smaller holes can be more effectively patched to produce a more aesthetically pleasing result.
• It lasts longer — Expanding polyurethane foam lasts longer than the material used for mudjacking and slab jacking, which tends to break down over time as a result of erosion. Plus, the polyurethane foam we use for concrete leveling is backed by an impressive 10-year warranty.
