Preventing Liabilities and Damage with Polyurethane Slab Lifting
Damaged slabs and structures pose serious liability risks and often signal further damage if left unattended. The good news is that these issues can be efficiently resolved using Polyurethane resin. Under ideal conditions, slabs and structures can be lifted within 1/8” of their original level. Compared to demolishing or replacing the slab, Polyurethane slab lifting is a more efficient and cost-effective solution.
- Before and After
Concrete Slab Lifting
Concrete slabs, known for their durability, are not immune to damage. If you notice sinking or cracked concrete in your residential, commercial, or industrial property, call Greenline Services right away.
Causes of Sinking Concrete
Several factors can lead to concrete damage, including:
- Erosion: Poor drainage, leaks in drain pipes, damaged water lines, and improperly placed downspouts can cause erosion.
- Water Damage: Concrete is porous and can absorb water, leading to a settling foundation.
- Heavy Loads: Excessive weight on concrete can cause it to shrink.
- Poor Compaction: Improperly compacted backfill can result in sinking concrete.
- Void Spaces: Empty spaces in the soil beneath concrete can lead to cracking and caving.
- Biological Decay: Slabs built over biodegradable materials can sink as these materials deteriorate.
Damaged or uneven concrete not only causes property and equipment damage but can also lead to sinkholes, personal injury, and lawsuits. While full replacement is often considered, it is messy, expensive, and environmentally unfriendly. Mud jacking, though less costly than replacement, is also messy and not a permanent solution, as the mud can wash out completely.
- Stabilization
Expert Slab Lifting in Houston, TX
Subsidence is a rampant problem in Texas, especially in Houston, where high rates of sinking ground increase the risk of floods. This can cause water to penetrate the subsurface, weaken the soil, and lead to uneven surfaces, concrete cracks, and foundation issues.
At Greenline Services, we provide long-term solutions using polyurethane foam to lift concrete. Polylifting, also known as polyjacking, is cleaner, more durable, and less costly than mud jacking or full slab replacement. Our poly foam lifting method is efficient, with slabs ready for traffic just 15 minutes after installation.

What causes sinking concrete?
Concrete can sink due to a number of reasons, including but not limited to erosion, water damage, heavy loads, poor compaction, void spaces in the soil, and biological decay.
Does slab jacking work?
Yes, slab jacking does work. With Greenline Services, we use polyurethane foam to level concrete efficiently and carefully.
How much does it cost to lift a concrete slab?
The price of each job varies depending on several factors. You can call Greenline Services for a free estimate. We will conduct a site inspection during the process as well.
How long does concrete lifting last?
Using polyurethane foam, concrete lifting can last many years – certainly more than mud jacking. When properly maintained, it can even last a lifetime.
Is slab jacking permanent?
Slab jacking using polyurethane foam is a permanent fix when installed correctly. It can last indefinitely when taken care of.
Is PolyLevel better than Mudjacking?
Yes, polyfoam lifting or leveling is infinitely better than mud jacking. Mud jacking uses a mixture from the combination of sand, cement, fly ash, and water. Over time, this solution can deteriorate and cause concrete damage once again. It can even wash away completely. But, polyurethane foam is immensely durable and can last a lifetime. It is also less messy to install, can support up to 14,000 lbs./sq. Ft., and will have your slab ready for traffic after 15 minutes.
What is the best foundation repair method?
There are many ways to repair foundation, and one of the best is using polyurethane foam. Poly foam can support up to 14,000 lbs./sq. ft., compacts the soil, fills any voids, and reinforces eroded areas.
