FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Polyjacking, also known as polyurethane concrete lifting, is a method of raising settled concrete slabs by injecting expanding polyurethane foam underneath. Small holes are drilled in the concrete, and the foam is pumped through these holes. As it expands, it fills voids and lifts the concrete back to its original position.

The duration depends on the project scope, but most commercial polyjacking jobs can be completed within 1-3 days. Smaller projects may only take a few hours, while larger ones could extend to several days.

Polyjacking is minimally disruptive compared to concrete replacement. The process is relatively quiet, and there’s no need for heavy equipment on site. Most businesses can continue operations during the repair, with only the immediate work area being off-limits.

One of the major advantages of polyjacking is its rapid curing time. The polyurethane foam sets within minutes, allowing the concrete to be used almost immediately after the repair is completed.

Polyjacking can be used on various commercial concrete surfaces, including:

Warehouse floors
Industrial plant slabs
Office and retail floors
Parking lots and garages
Airport runways and tarmacs
Loading docks

Polyjacking is generally much more cost-effective than concrete replacement. It can save up to 70% off the price of replacement, depending on the specific project requirements.

Yes, the polyurethane foam used in polyjacking is non-toxic and environmentally safe. Once cured, it forms an inert material that doesn’t leach into the surrounding soil.

The polyurethane foam used in polyjacking has a high compressive strength and can support significant weight. It’s capable of bearing far more weight than packed soil, making it suitable for heavy commercial and industrial applications.
