Why Polyurethane Foam Jacking Beats Traditional Mudjacking Every Time
If you’ve got sunken concrete in your driveway, patio, pool deck, or sidewalk here in SWFL, you’ve probably heard of mudjacking—an old-school fix for uneven slabs. But there’s a better solution on the market: polyurethane foam jacking.
At Ocean Spray Foam, we specialize in modern methods like slab jacking with foam and polyurethane concrete lifting. Here’s why they outperform the outdated mudjacking process every time. 🌊
⚖️ The Difference: Foam vs. Mud
Mudjacking uses a heavy cement-based slurry to raise sunken concrete. It involves large holes, messy cleanup, and adds serious weight to the already sinking slab.
Polyurethane foam jacking—also known as foam lifting, polyjacking, or concrete leveling with foam—uses lightweight, expanding foam to gently and precisely lift your slab back into place.
🌴 7 Reasons Polyurethane Concrete Raising Is Better
1. 🌊 Lightweight & Long-Lasting
Foam weighs about 1/10th as much as mudjacking material, putting less stress on already weak soils.
2. 🌊 Smaller Drill Holes
Tiny ⅝" holes are used—almost invisible after patching—versus 1.5"+ holes with mudjacking.
3. 🌊 Waterproof & Stable
Our polyurethane is hydrophobic—it won’t wash out or weaken like mud under SWFL’s tropical rains.
4. 🌊 Fast Curing Time
Your surface is ready for traffic in 15 minutes. Mudjacking? You’ll wait hours or even days.
5. 🌊 Precise Lifting
The expanding foam allows for pinpoint accuracy in raising slabs and deck slab leveling—ideal for sunken pool deck repair and uneven sidewalks.
6. 🌊 Void Filling Capabilities
Foam expands and fills voids under concrete—also known as under-slab foam injection or foam cavity fill—for a more complete repair.
7. 🌊 Eco-Friendly
Less material, less waste, and no slurry runoff into the soil or waterways.
✅ When to Use Foam Jacking
Our polyurethane lifting services are perfect for:
Driveways and sidewalks
Patios and lanais
Garage floors and interior slabs
Pool deck leveling / polyjacking around pools
Concrete lifting for commercial walkways
Foam jacking under seawalls, steps, and foundations
🚫 Why We Don’t Offer Mudjacking
Here in Collier and Lee Counties, foam lifting just makes sense. The wet, sandy soils of Southwest Florida don’t hold up well under the heavy loads of mudjacking. That’s why Ocean Spray Foam only uses advanced polyurethane systems that deliver cleaner, longer-lasting results.
