There’s always more than one way to secure the concrete structures you have around your home. With that in mind, it may be worth your while to compare two of the most used elevation methods: lifting foam injections and mudjacking.
Foam Injections
As mentioned, Innovative Basement Authority professionals prefer not to use slurry to elevate your driveway back into its original position. Instead, they use polyurethane foam inserted through holes in your driveway. This foam cures at a faster rate than slurry, meaning you’ll be able to use your driveway sooner than you would if the team used a rock mixture. High-density polyurethane foam also stabilizes the soil beneath your driveway, meaning it will be more difficult for the moisture in your lawn to impact your driveway in the same way again.
You can use polyurethane foam for more than just driveway repair, though. Many contractors like to use this foam to support other concrete structures that may be failing around your lawn. This foam has even been used to shore up sinking foundations, though most often in tandem with other home piering solutions.
Mudjacking
The mudjacking process sees professional contractors go through many of the same motions they would while injecting foam beneath your driveway. However, mudjacking sees professionals use a mortar-based slurry instead of foam to support any failing structures around your property.
It isn’t all that common, either, for professionals to use mudjacking to shore up a sinking driveway. This process is more often used when a property’s foundation has begun to slip or sink.
