Poly Leveling vs Mudjacking: What’s the Difference?

If you’re dealing with sinking or uneven concrete, you’ve probably come across a few different repair options. The two most common are polyurethane foam leveling and traditional mudjacking.

At Level Up Concrete Raising, we’ve chosen to focus on polyurethane foam because it delivers cleaner, longer-lasting results. Older methods like mudjacking rely on pumping heavy material under the slab, which can add weight to already unstable soil and lead to future settling.

Our approach is different. As a local Denver team, we use lightweight polyurethane foam that lifts, levels, and stabilizes your concrete without the mess or guesswork. It’s a cleaner process, it cures quickly so you can use your concrete right away, and it’s designed to fix the problem at its source—not just temporarily cover it up.

We’ll always give you an honest recommendation based on your specific situation, but in most cases, polyurethane leveling is the faster, more precise, and longer-lasting solution. This page will walk you through how it works so you can feel confident in your decision.

What Is Polyurethane Concrete Leveling?

Polyurethane Concrete Leveling Near Me

Poly leveling, also known as polyjacking, uses a high-density polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete through small access holes.

As the foam expands, it:

  • Fills empty space below the slab
  • Stabilizes the soil
  • Lifts the concrete back into place

This method is clean, controlled, and commonly used for both residential and commercial concrete repairs.

What Is Mudjacking?

Mudjacking, also known as slabjacking, uses a mixture of water, soil, sand, and cement that is pumped under the concrete.

This slurry fills voids and raises the slab back toward its original position.

Mudjacking has been used for many years and can still be effective depending on the condition of the concrete and underlying soil.

Differences Between Poly Leveling and Mudjacking

Material Used

  • Poly Leveling: Lightweight expanding foam
  • Mudjacking: Heavy slurry mix (sand, soil, cement, water)

 

Hole Size

  • Poly Leveling: Smaller, cleaner drill holes
  • Mudjacking: Larger holes

Weight Added Below the Slab

  • Poly Leveling: Very lightweight
  • Mudjacking: Heavier material added to the soil

Control During Lifting

  • Poly Leveling: More precise and controlled lifting
  • Mudjacking: Less control depending on soil conditions

Cure Time

  • Poly Leveling: Ready to use shortly after the job is done
  • Mudjacking: Typically takes longer to fully cure
Poly leveling vs Mudjacking

What’s Right for You?

The best option depends on a few key factors:

  • Condition of the concrete
  • Amount of settling
  • Soil conditions underneath
  • Location (interior vs exterior)
  • Access and surrounding area

In most situations, polyurethane foam is the better solution. It’s cleaner, lighter, and provides longer-lasting results without putting extra stress on the soil.

At Level Up Concrete Raising, we focus on what works best long-term. We’ll assess your project and give you an honest recommendation—but polyurethane is typically the smarter, more reliable fix.
