We’re able to lift sunken or settled concrete slabs in Folsom, CA including, but not limited to…

Benefits Of Concrete Lifting Via Polyurethane Foam Injection

The benefits of concrete lifting – also known as slabjacking or polyurethane foam injection – are many, including:

  • You only need to do it once. Another method of lifting concrete called “mudjacking” uses a heavy cement
  • It won’t break the bank. Polyurethane foam injection is less expensive that replacing the slab.
  • Most repairs take only a few hours. Polyurethane foam injection is a fast procedure and once it’s complete, you can immediately start using the slab again.
  • It doesn’t harm the environment. Polyurethane foam is a green solution that won’t release harmful chemicals into the soil.
  • Even concrete just looks good! Sunken, uneven concrete is an eyesore.

What Causes Concrete Slabs to Sink or Become Uneven?

Concrete slabs sink and become uneven for a variety of reasons including…

Too much water under the slab. Water can wash away the soil creating voids that the slab will then sink into.

Weak soil. Not all soils can support the weight of a heavy concrete slab.

Expansive soil. Expansive soil expands as it absorbs water and then shrinks by that same amount when it dries out. Over time this swelling-shrinking cycle can cause slabs to become uneven.

Invasive tree roots. The tree’s roots push against the slab and eventually cause sections of it to become uneven.

What are the Different Ways to Lift a Concrete Slab?

Traditionally, uneven slabs were repaired either via “mudjacking”, or by digging up the sunken slab and pouring new concrete. Neither one of these methods was the best solution though and that’s why almost all concrete slabs are now lifted using polyurethane foam injection.

Mudjacking

Mudjacking uses a heavy cement slurry to raise the slab and this is a problem because the slurry isn’t exactly lightweight. If the soil was already failing to support the slab, adding more weight isn’t going to help.

Concrete Replacement

Replacing a slab means digging up the old one and then pouring new concrete. This is an expensive and time-consuming repair though. Freshly poured concrete takes time to dry and harden (i.e., cure). So, you won’t be able to use the new slab right away. Also, if the slab became uneven because the soil was weak, the new slab will eventually sink as well.

Of course, you should never add new concrete on top of a slab in order to even it out. This will only add more weight to an already sinking slab.

Polyurethane Foam Injection

Polyurethane foam injection (also known as ‘’slabjacking’’) is an inexpensive, minimally-invasive procedure that injects a lightweight foam under the sunken slab in order to lift it. It’s a quick repair, and when it’s done you can start using the slab again right away.

Foreman Andrew is incredible and a leader. We hired BAU to perform a whole house underpinning job from December 2022-March 2023. Our recently purchased 1950's home sat on expansive clay soil and had been settling for decades. The project was a big job and complicated by the winter rains that occurred throughout many days of the project. Andrew was extremely professional, knowledgeable about every aspect of the job and managed the entire project class and skill.He communicates very effectively and is transparent to assuage any concerns that we had on the project. He also shows up earlier than anyone, and works the entire day, rain or shine, in the mud and trenches with his team. This leadership was impressive. Since the completion of our project, he has remained available and came out to make some minor adjustments promptly and free of charge. Without any hesitation, I would entrust BAU to do my foundation work with the demand that Andrew lead the project. Thank you Andrew and your crew for a job well done.

BAU did a great job on my ADU that had a serious moisture problem that was causing the building to deteriorate. I couldn't remove the tile without replacing it all at a large expense so they did the whole job in a very cramped crawl space. The guys they sent out were great and finished with everything in one day!!!

I recently scheduled an inspection after concerns around my foundation and worked with Jim Rivera on my home. Jim was super helpful and knowledgeable in assessing the severity of my foundation issues, while also assessing other parts of the home that might be contributing to potential damage in the future. I was surprised how helpful he was in helping me understand different scenarios, planning for near-term/long term fixes, and putting my mind at ease over the foundation issues. I'd definitely recommend working with Jim and his team!

Bay Area Underpinning is OUTSTANDING!! Cody, Andrew, Francisco, David and their underpinning and concrete teams did exceptional work installing underpinnings to stabilize our house, then replacing the concrete patio that had to be removed to do the stabilization. Everyone on the teams were efficient, courteous, highly skilled, and thorough. I cannot recommend Bay Area Underpinning highly enough- through each step of the process, from the initial assessment and work quote, to the work and follow-up itself, the staff and crews of Bay Area Underpinning ensured that I was informed, reassured, and we’ll take care of. They were thoughtful about doing their work efficiently and cleaning up after the work was completed. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Our house is 85 years old and has some cracking on the stucco, so I called for a free inspection to see if the problems were something we need to be concerned about. Daniel, our inspector, was prompt and friendly and explained everything he was doing and seeing as he took measurements and inspected the foundations. He said that while there are things we can do for earthquake retrofitting (and he did recommend a separate company for that if we wanted to do it) our problems were mostly cosmetic and nothing to worry about. He also took his measurements to be scanned in at his office and kept on file so that we can have him back out for another inspection in the future to compare, again, purely at our discretion. He was respectful, friendly, and straightforward and answered all of my questions. I'd definitely recommend them.
