Which chores have you checked off your fall home maintenance to-do list? Perhaps cleaning the gutters, painting the shutters, pressure washing the siding and decks, or maybe you’ve started winterizing for those sporadic frosty evenings and mornings. But have you considered adding repairing those cracked or uneven concrete stairs, patio, deck, or driveway to your list?
While repairing uneven or cracked concrete may not seem like a major issue, it shouldn’t be overlooked and should be added to your fall home maintenance routine. Why is polyjacking fall maintenance something that should be done to your home’s concrete structures? Continue reading as we discuss why polyjacking should be part of your fall home maintenance routine, including some benefits.
What is Polyjacking?
Before we dive into why you should add polyjacking fall maintenance to your routine, let’s explain what polyjacking is. It’s a fast, long-lasting way to lift and level your concrete without the mess of traditional methods. By injecting a lightweight, high-strength polyurethane foam beneath a concrete slab, we can raise your concrete back to its original position, often in just a few hours.
What makes polyjacking so impressive is its efficiency. The expanding foam weighs only 2–4 pounds per cubic foot, yet it’s strong enough to lift heavy concrete surfaces with precision. Compare that to old-fashioned mudjacking, which requires hundreds of pounds of material, and you’ll see why homeowners are making the switch.
Why Polyjacking vs. Other Concrete Leveling Methods?
Polyjacking is the most permanent concrete leveling solution compared to other concrete leveling methods, like mudjacking. Mudjacking materials are significantly different from polyjacking materials; mudjacking includes adding organic materials like dirt and sand combined with concrete to lift and repair sunken and unlevel concrete, while polyjacking uses a polyurethane foam to lift concrete.
The science behind polyjacking is fascinating! Our polyurethane formula is one of the lightest and most effective materials for lifting and leveling sunken concrete. Made from durable, organic compounds, this foam expands beneath the surface to fill empty spaces and gently raise your concrete back into place. Similar to the expanding foam sealants used around your home to seal cracks or gaps, the polyurethane used in polyjacking is engineered to last for years, is strong, stable, and built to withstand the elements. Plus, there are environmental benefits of choosing polyjacking!
Why Should You Include Polyjacking for Fall Maintenance?
Just like you take care of the rest of your home’s exterior each fall by removing leaves and other debris, sealing windows and doors, and cleaning the home’s exterior, consider including polyjacking for fall maintenance. There are plenty of reasons why you should include polyjacking fall maintenance on your seasonal to-do list:
Polyjacking Permanently Lifts Sunken Concrete
Those unsightly and dangerous cracks and separations in your home’s concrete structures will be permanently lifted when you choose polyjacking! Unlike other concrete leveling methods, polyjacking’s polyurethane foam is injected underneath the unlevel slab and hardens within minutes, permanently lifting the concrete and stabilizing the soil.
Polyjacking Enhances Your Home’s Resale Value
Potential homebuyers are drawn to homes that appear well-maintained both inside and out. Polyjacking enhances your home’s resale value by creating a sleek, even appearance of all concrete structures, eliminating unsightly concrete cracks, improving safety, and preventing further issues.
Polyjacking is Water-Resistant
Polyjacking is an effective concrete leveling method for several reasons, one of them being its water-resistant properties, making it ideal for Kansas City homeowners. With how much moisture we get during a calendar year, from our rainy season to pop-up thunderstorms to winter precipitation, there’s a lot of water that finds its way on your concrete structures. Because our polyurethane foam is water-resistant, it’ll avoid soil expansion and contraction under the slab.
Polyjacking Requires Zero Maintenance
There are many benefits of polyjacking, one of which is that it requires zero maintenance! That means once you add polyjacking fall maintenance to your checklist, you’ll never need to add it ever again. Mudjacking and DIY concrete leveling jobs often require maintenance or reapplication after a short while, costing you more money.
