You may have heard about polyjacking from a neighbor who had their concrete patio leveled, a friend who had their driveway leveled, or maybe on your own while researching how to repair cracked and unlevel concrete. Whatever the case, polyjacking sounds like a word with a complicated definition/process when in reality, it’s pretty straightforward.
Polyjacking is a concrete leveling technique that has been around for decades. While there are several concrete leveling options, polyjacking is the best choice for homeowners in and around Kansas City who want to fix cracked or uneven concrete.
But what exactly is polyjacking and what is the process? Keep reading for a glance at the polyjacking process to become more familiar with it and determine if you think it’s best for your unlevel concrete.
What is Polyjacking?
Polyjacking is a concrete leveling technique used for filling in and lifting concrete. Unlike other concrete leveling techniques like mudjacking, polyjacking is a permanent solution because it stabilizes the soil underneath the concrete.
Using concrete mixtures like mudjacking or a DIY job to level concrete will eventually lead to it cracking again and becoming uneven as the soil underneath settles again. Therefore, mudjacking and other concrete leveling techniques must be repeated every 2-5 years whereas polyjacking is a permanent solution to leveling concrete.
What makes polyjacking a permanent solution to leveling uneven and cracked concrete? Unlike mudjacking which uses a mixture of concrete and other materials to pump under a concrete slab, polyjacking uses a polyurethane foam. The science behind polyurethane foam is fascinating!

The Polyjacking Process
What does the polyjacking process look like? When you hire Pro Polyjacking to fix your cracked concrete or unlevel patio, driveway, or commercial building, it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3…4! Below is a glance at the polyjacking process:
1. Initial Assessment
The initial assessment is the first step in the polyjacking process with Pro Polyjacking. We’ll come to your home or commercial property to inspect the concrete, cracks, or unlevel issues. Once we’ve fully discussed the problem and what we recommend, we’ll provide you with a free estimate outlining the costs for your polyjacking job.
2. Create the Injection Site
After you’ve accepted your estimate and scheduled your polyjacking job with Pro Polyjacking, we’ll arrive at your home or commercial business to start the polyjacking process.
The first step of the process is creating the injection site in the cracked/unlevel concrete. We drill very discreet holes that are no larger than a dime. These injection sites will allow us to inject the polyurethane foam.
3. Inject Polyurethane
Next comes the fun part – the polyurethane injection! Our polyurethane foam is eco-friendly and high density, allowing it to lift the damaged concrete. Not only will your concrete be level again, but as the polyurethane foam expands, cracks and gaps will be filled and appear as good as new.
The polyurethane foam will stabilize the soil underneath the concrete, ensuring it’s a permanent solution to an unsettling issue. You’ll never need to worry about the soil shifting and the concrete cracking or becoming uneven again!
4. Patch the Injection Sites
After injecting our polyurethane foam and your concrete is level again, we’ll finish the polyjacking process by patching those dime-sized injection sites. They were discreet at the start of the polyjacking process, but once we patch them they’ll be nearly impossible to see.
