Why Polyurethane Foam Beats Mudjacking for Concrete Lifting in Louisiana

In the unique terrain and climate of Louisiana, where shifting soils and unpredictable weather threaten the stability of driveways, sidewalks, and patios, the choice of concrete lifting in Louisiana isn’t one to be made lightly. At PolyCo Spray Foam, we use advanced polyurethane foam injection methods that outperform traditional mudjacking in every way—delivering homeowners and businesses faster, cleaner, and longer-lasting results.

Lightweight, Long-lasting Support

One of the biggest issues with mudjacking is the weight it adds beneath your concrete. The heavy slurry often weighs more than 100 lbs per cubic foot, which can worsen settlement, especially on unstable ground. By comparison, polyurethane foam is incredibly lightweight, weighing only a few pounds per cubic foot. This allows it to effectively lift and stabilize slabs without putting additional pressure on Louisiana’s soft soils.

Even better, polyurethane foam provides a durable, waterproof solution that stands the test of time. Unlike mudjacking materials, which can erode or compress within a few years, foam maintains its strength, keeping your surfaces safe and level for much longer.

Minimal Invasion, Cleaner Results

Mudjacking requires large drill holes—often more than an inch wide—that can leave unsightly marks on your property. The process can also create messy slurry stains around the repair area. In contrast, polyurethane foam injection uses small holes, often no bigger than a coin, which are nearly invisible once sealed. This means your repair looks seamless and your property remains clean and well-maintained.

Rapid Cure, Rooted Stability

Safety and convenience are key when dealing with sinking concrete. Mudjacking repairs may take one to three days to fully cure before you can safely walk or drive on the surface. Polyurethane foam, however, cures within minutes, allowing you to use your driveway, patio, or sidewalk almost immediately.

Additionally, the expanding foam not only raises concrete but also stabilizes the soil beneath, filling voids and strengthening the ground. This dual action reduces the risk of future sinking, offering long-term stability.

Eco-Friendly and Efficient

Mudjacking has long been seen as a “cheap fix,” but its environmental drawbacks add up. Heavy slurry materials, runoff, and the need for repeat repairs make it less efficient over time. Polyurethane foam, while synthetic, is far more efficient and requires fewer repeat treatments. Its longer lifespan makes it a smarter and more eco-friendly choice for both homeowners and commercial properties.

Proven in the Field

Across countless projects, the results speak for themselves: polyurethane foam consistently outperforms mudjacking in terms of strength, durability, and precision. Though it requires specialized equipment and trained technicians, the investment is worth it. With PolyCo Spray Foam, you get expert application, cleaner results, and a solution proven to last in Louisiana’s challenging soil conditions.
