Whether you’re renovating an older commercial building, your current commercial property has failed building inspections or code compliance, or you’re considering revamping your commercial property, you’re likely dealing with concrete throughout the construction process. Concrete is a man-made material recognized for its strength and long-lasting durability, used worldwide in construction. However, it is susceptible to developing cracks, spalling, or becoming uneven over time from water damage.
Polyjacking is the most permanent concrete leveling solution that lifts sunken and unlevel concrete, widely used for concrete repair. Polyjacking also supports eco-friendly construction practices and reduces waste, making it an excellent option for homeowners or business owners who want to reduce their carbon footprint. Continue reading to learn more about polyjacking and how it supports eco-friendly construction practices.
What is Polyjacking?
Polyjacking is a modern, job-site-ready solution for lifting and leveling concrete that’s settled or cracked. Rather than lifting the concrete with mudjacking or another concrete leveling technique, polyjacking requires no hauling in heavy, messy material and no long dry time. Rather, polyjacking uses a high-strength polyurethane foam that’s pumped beneath the sunken or cracked concrete, delivering serious lifting power. Polyurethane foam is significantly lighter than the materials used in mudjacking, weighing only 2-4 lbs compared to the heavy cement-based mix that’s hundreds of lbs per cubic foot.
The Polyjacking Process
The polyjacking process is simple, beginning with a free evaluation. Our team at Pro Polyjacking will arrive at your appointment ready to get your quote. We’ll start by assessing your sunken or cracked concrete and provide our recommendations for repair and cost for polyjacking. Once you accept your estimate, we’ll schedule your polyjacking appointment promptly.
You can expect your polyjacking job to be quick, starting with drilling small, precise holes and injecting the foam underneath the concrete. The foam expands within minutes, filling in voids and pushing the slab back to its original state. We’ll finish by patching the small holes, making them nearly undetectable, and the foam will cure in minutes. You’re left with a solid, level, and ready-to-handle foot traffic or equipment concrete, restored to its intended position.
Eco-Friendly Benefits of Polyjacking
Polyjacking is eco-friendly, making it an excellent choice for business owners who want to reduce their carbon footprint. Eco-friendly polyjacking is a great step for business owners, decreasing waste and reducing your carbon footprint. Below are some of the many eco-friendly polyjacking benefits:
-
Eco-friendly Polyjacking is Noninvasive
You already take eco-friendly measures to help the environment, like switching to electronic filing and installing solar panels. If your concrete is sinking or cracking, polyjacking is a great noninvasive concrete repair method. Polyjacking creates far less disturbance to the surrounding property and environment because there’s no excavation, no torn-up landscaping, and no unnecessary mess.
-
Eco-friendly Polyjacking is Maintenance-free
Another eco-friendly benefit of polyjacking is that it’s maintenance-free. After polyjacking is completed, the soil beneath your concrete is reinforced and stabilized, helping prevent future washout or shifting. Unlike mudjacking, there’s no need for follow-up treatments or ongoing maintenance.
Because mujacking relies on heavy, cement-based materials to fix concrete, it can stress the soil beneath and lead to repeated settling over time. Polyacking is different because our foam fills voids and seals gaps to create a stable, durable base, minimizing material use, reducing waste, and requiring virtually no maintenance.
-
Eco-friendly Polyjacking Uses an Environmentally Safe Material
Polyurethane foam is engineered to be an environmentally safe material; it cures quickly and doesn’t soak into the soil beneath the concrete. It becomes chemically inert after curing within minutes, improving eco-friendly practices. Our foam also doesn’t biodegrade and never disrupts or harms burrowing animals/bugs.
-
Eco-friendly Polyjacking is Sustainable
Another great eco-friendly advantage of polyjacking is that it’s sustainable, helping to reduce your carbon footprint. Up to 49% of the materials we use to make our polyurethane foam are recycled or renewed, reducing the need to source new materials. Our foam is also recyclable!
Polyjacking has many eco-friendly benefits: it’s a noninvasive concrete repair method, maintenance-free, uses environmentally safe materials, and offers sustainability. It’s the perfect option for concrete repair, supporting eco-friendly practices and reducing waste.
