Benefits of Foam Concrete Lifting
Spray foam concrete lifting can be used to lift many different concrete products. These can be residential foundations, cement driveways or commercial structures such as building floors and large patios. The polyurethane product is protected from UV under the slab, and so essentially has multiple lifetime expectancies.
The product won’t degrade from water or soil, and won’t lose it shape over time due to it’s high density properties. And because it’s waterproof, the sub-zero Saskatoon weather will not impact it during temperature swings of repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Foam Lifting or Mudjacking Concrete?
Mud Jacking Process
Mudjacking has been around since the 1930’s and is still used today. To raise concrete using this method, you mix a sand-like material with water and cement to create a mud that is pumped into the concrete. In order to pump the mud, holes between 1 - 3 inches are drilled into the concrete and forced through under pressure to raise the concrete.
This method can be a time consuming method to get the mud just right and pumped into all the holes. Once finished, you still need to wait up to 24 - 48 hours to cure.
Foam Lifting Process
Spray foam concrete lifting is essentially the very same concept as mudjacking but with some key differences. The holes drilled into the concrete are significantly smaller, around a diameter of 5/8”. The smaller holes make it much more aesthetically pleasing, and easier to hide compared to mudjacking holes.
Concrete foam lifting also has the benefits spray foam properties, that is, the foam expands up to 25 to 35 times its original volume, it won’t erode over time like mudjacking, it’s incredibly lightweight compared to mud, and it can be used to stabilize the surrounding soil.
When the installer secures the coupler to the ports, a controlled injection is done by intermittently pumping high-density geo-technical expanding foam through the injection hole. Once the concrete has been lifted to the required height, the injection holes are filled with cement and troweled smooth to leave little to no evidence of any work having been done. Aside from letting the troweled area set up, you’re free to walk on the concrete after 15 - 20 minutes without concern of compromising the new lift.

Spray Foam FAQs
What causes concrete slabs to sink?
Concrete slabs sink or become uneven due to disturbed ground not being properly compacted during the fill and leveling process. Another cause for concrete sinking is from poor water drainage. This is typically seen around a foundation where drain tile and eavestrough are missing.
Can foam lifting crack my concrete slab?
As with any repair job, there can be risks of damage to concrete. However, this is why it is important to choose a knowledgable and credible contractor. A seasoned and certified spray foam lifting contractor will be able to mitigate risks and greatly reduce the likelihood of cracking your foundation.
How much does foam concrete lifting cost?
The amount of insulation required to lift concrete depends on the void needing to be filled and the height the concrete needs to be raised to. If the amount of foam needed is uncertain, contractors may charge on a time and material basis.
