Mudjacking is a long-established form of concrete lifting that involves pumping in a slurry of cement underneath the settling structure. SettleStop PolyRenewal, on the other hand, utilizes polyurethane foam to lift the slab. SettleStop PolyRenewal is considered to be the superior repair method by many in the industry for multiple reasons. While mudjacking does get the job done, there are multiple consequences that come with using cement. SettleStop PolyRenewal takes everything mudjacking does right and does it better without any of the negative side effects. Part of the reason why SettleStop PolyRenewal is so great is due to the convenience. The holes drilled to inject the polyurethane foam are a lot smaller than the holes used for traditional mudjacking, so contractors are able to work with weaker concrete structures. The device used to inject the foam is also smaller, so the lifting procedure can be done on concrete that is difficult to reach. But convenience for contractors isn’t the only plus: cement takes 24 to 48 hours to cure, so if the job is done on your Greenville home’s driveway, you won’t be able to use it for days. Polyurethane, on the other hand, takes only 15 to 30 minutes to cure, so the entire job can be done a lot faster with SettleStop PolyRenewal. The cement used in mudjacking is rough, heavy, and not an ideal material to place on top of soil that is already displaced. It has the potential to cause even more settling simply due to the pressure it exerts on the soil. Polyurethane foam is strong enough to support the slab but extremely lightweight. The disturbance to the soil is minimal, making it a much better material for concrete lifting than cement. For reliable, long-term repairs, contractors recommend SettleStop PolyRenewal.
