WHAT IS POLYURETHANE INJECTION?

Atlas Mudjacking offers an alternative service to mudjacking, which is polyurethane injection. 

Polyurethane injection is recommended for specific projects based on the customer’s needs.  Oftentimes, we suggest polyurethane injection to raise pool decks or concrete areas when the customer prefers to have the most cosmetically appealing process used to produce their desired outcome. Polyurethane injection requires smaller holes drilled into the concrete, which are approximately the size of a dime or ⅝ of an inch , whereas the holes drilled for mudjacking are about the size of a half dollar or 1.2 inches. Due to the difference in the diameter of the holes, some customers choose polyurethane injection for their concrete lifting and leveling project. 

Polyurethane is a synthetic material that is long-lasting and eco-friendly.  Polyurethane is also waterproof, so it is the method used for our projects involving water, such as boat ramps and lake piers. The curing time for polyurethane is about 15 minutes, whereas a minimum of 24 hours is recommended for mudjacking projects.  As a company, Atlas Mudjacking offers our customers a full-service concrete raising solution. Due to the landscape of certain projects, mudjacking can have equipment accessibility limitations. In the circumstance where accessibility is limited, polyurethane injection is recommended to raise and level the concrete.

Benefits of Polyurethane Injection

As a foam, polyurethane is lightweight but strong with the ability to easily lift heavy concrete and stabilize soil. The airy nature of the chemical avoids adding extra stress or excess density to the area below the concrete slabs. Additionally, concrete that has been injected with polyurethane is ready for immediate use. 

The cost associated with polyurethane injection is due to the material being a manufactured product. The benefit of polylifting is that it is substantially less than replacement. Aesthetically polyurethane injection offers a more cosmetically appealing option for concrete raising and leveling.
