Polyurethane Foam Concrete Lifting in Austin by Flatworks in Central Texas

The modern alternative to mudjacking

Lift settled concrete with lightweight polyurethane foam.

Small injection ports, expanding water-resistant foam, and precise control make polyurethane lifting a clean option for many structurally sound slabs.

How polyurethane concrete lifting works

Polyurethane concrete lifting repairs settlement by addressing the space beneath the slab. After evaluating the concrete and surrounding drainage, the crew drills a pattern of small 5/8-inch ports. Two-part foam is injected through those openings, expands beneath the concrete, and fills accessible voids while creating controlled lifting pressure.

The process uses far less added weight than traditional mudjacking and normally requires much smaller holes. Because the material cures quickly, many driveways, sidewalks, patios, pool decks, and commercial walkways return to service the same day. The final recommendation still depends on slab condition: badly deteriorated concrete may be better suited for replacement.

Why this repair works

Benefits of Polyurethane foam lifting

Precise expansion

The crew meters foam in stages and watches the slab respond throughout the lift.

Small access holes

Typical 5/8-inch injection ports are patched after the repair.

Fast curing

The material cures quickly enough for many surfaces to return to use the same day.

When to request an assessment

Signs the slab may have lost support

  • The slab is sound but one or more sections have settled
  • Replacement would disrupt landscaping, access, or operations
  • Small injection holes are preferred over larger mudjacking ports
  • The site needs lightweight, water-resistant void support
  • A same-day return to use is important

Lifting

Raise sound concrete that has dropped because support beneath it changed.

Stabilization

Fill accessible voids beneath slabs that do not necessarily need elevation correction.

Drainage improvement

Restore slab slope when settlement has created a low area or reversed normal runoff.

The Flatworks process

Inspect, inject, lift, and clean.

Every repair starts with an honest assessment of whether the existing concrete is a responsible candidate for lifting.

  1. 01

    Assess

    Review slab condition, settlement, drainage, joints, and surrounding structures.

  2. 02

    Inject

    Drill small ports and place lightweight polyurethane beneath the concrete.

  3. 03

    Lift

    Fill accessible voids and raise the slab gradually with controlled pressure.

  4. 04

    Finish

    Patch the ports, clean the work area, and explain return-to-use timing.

How is polyurethane different from mudjacking?

Polyurethane is much lighter, uses smaller injection ports, resists water, and cures quickly. Mudjacking uses a heavier cement-based slurry and typically requires larger holes.

Is foam lifting permanent?

The cured material does not wash away or break down in soil. Long-term results also depend on drainage, soil movement, and the condition of the slab, which are reviewed during the estimate.

Is polyurethane right for every slab?

No. It is best suited to structurally sound concrete that has settled or lost support. Flatworks will recommend replacement when lifting would not provide a responsible result.
