Slabjacking – Polymer vs Mud
Concrete leveling, mud or foam? Whether it be called foam jacking, PolyLEVEL, polylift, or Geo-polymer, polyurethane has many advantages over mud for lifting concrete. Having experience with both Mudjacking and Geo-polymer injection Slabjacking let’s briefly compare the two.

Voids, Hollows, Caverns, Dens….are you dealing with void space under your concrete? One of the advantages of using Geo-polymer for filling voids is its light weight.

We got a call from a homeowner that their fifty year old home was experiencing some settling on a porch and some attached...
