Mudjacking is a long-established method of raising concrete that includes injecting a cement slurry beneath the settling structure. PolyRenewal, on the other hand, lifts the slab with polyurethane foam. Many in the industry consider PolyRenewal to be the best repair procedure for a variety of reasons. While mudjacking gets the job done, employing cement has a number of negative repercussions. PolyRenewal improves on everything mudjacking accomplishes well while removing all of the bad side effects.
The convenience is one of the reasons why PolyRenewal is so popular. Installers may work with weaker concrete structures because the holes used to inject the polyurethane foam are much smaller than the holes used for traditional mudjacking. Because the instrument used to inject the foam is smaller, the lifting technique can be performed on difficult-to-reach concrete. But ease for installers isn’t the only benefit: cement takes 24 to 48 hours to cure, so you won’t be able to use your Point Pleasant home’s driveway for days. Polyurethane foam, on the other hand, cures in 15 to 30 minutes, allowing PolyRenewal to complete the work much faster.
Mudjacking cement is a rough, heavy material that isn’t good for placing on top of dirt that has already been dislodged. Because of the pressure it exerts on the soil, it has the potential to induce even more settling. The slab is supported by polyurethane foam, which is both sturdy and light. Because it causes less soil disturbance, it is a far better material for concrete lifting than cement. Many concrete repair experts prefer PolyRenewal for long-term, dependable repairs.
