Benefits of Opting for Polyurethane Foam Injection
Choose polyurethane foam injection, or slabjacking, for concrete lifting to enjoy multiple advantages:
- Cost and Time Savings: Avoid the extensive expenses and delays associated with replacing concrete.
- Immediate Accessibility: Walk on the slab right after the repair, thanks to the quick cure time.
- Soil-friendly Solution: The lightweight foam won’t add pressure to the already burdened soil beneath.
- Eco-conscious Choice: Our method is safe for the environment, with no harmful chemicals involved.
- Aesthetic Improvement: Elevate the look of your property by fixing unsightly dips and cracks.
Why Do Concrete Slabs Sink or Crack?
Various factors can lead to the damage of concrete slabs, such as:
Drainage Issues: Excess water can erode soil under the slab, creating voids.
Soil Strength: Inadequate soil may fail to support the weight of the concrete.
Soil Swelling and Shrinking: Changes in moisture content can cause soil to expand and contract, unsettling the slab.
Tree Root Interference: Expanding roots can push against and distort concrete slabs.
What are the Different Ways to Lift a Concrete Slab?
Exploring Methods to Elevate a Concrete Slab
In the past, fixing an uneven concrete slab often meant choosing between two less-than-ideal options: the labor-intensive process of slab replacement or the hefty approach known as mudjacking. But let’s dive into why these methods are becoming things of the past, and how modern solutions are changing the game.
Mudjacking: A Heavy Solution
Mudjacking does the lifting by drilling holes into the slab and pumping in a cement mixture underneath. The catch? This mixture is heavy—really heavy. If the ground was already struggling under the slab’s weight, adding more can just make matters worse, potentially leading to further sinking and the need for additional repairs.
Replacing the Concrete: A Time-Intensive Fix
Then there’s the old-school method of completely replacing the sunken slab. Not only does this take a chunk out of your wallet, but it also requires patience: new concrete takes time to dry and settle. Plus, if the original issue was weak soil, simply pouring new concrete might end up back at square one.
The Modern Move: Polyurethane Foam Injection
Enter polyurethane foam injection, also fondly known as slabjacking. This method is the new kid on the block, offering a lighter, quicker fix. We drill just a few small holes, then inject a special foam that expands and lifts the slab back to its rightful position. The beauty of this approach? It’s not only less invasive but also allows you to walk on your slab almost immediately after the repair. Most importantly, it doesn’t add extra weight to the already burdened soil.
With the foam’s rapid expansion and solid support, you can wave goodbye to uneven concrete in just a few hours, making it the go-to choice for a fast, effective, and friendly solution to sagging slabs.

Thank you Bay Area Underpinning for saving the day! I was in a challenging and prolonged situation since going into contract with EagleLift for the stabilization/lift for my house. After a long permit process and continuously delayed start dates, I was informed that EagleLift had been acquired by Groundworks and I’d have to wait a few more month before any progress could happen. It was a deeply frustrating process but the EagleLift team was able to connect us with Bay Area Underpinning (another Groundworks company) who were able to take over and expedite the project. To my surprise, James T. from BAU reached out quickly and assigned a team to come to my house within a week! The team that ended up working on the house, specifically Ish, John and Abel were exceptional. They were diligent, knowledgable, friendly and deeply considerate. They are truly pros who knocked the project out in no time which was reassuring since I was nervous that this project was gonna stretch into the rainy season. My house feels so stable now (minimal cracks too) and the considerable slope is now practically nonexistent! Thanks a lot James T., Ish, John, Abel and the BAU team for taking really great care of us.

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!!!

We had Daniel come out to take a look at our foundation to see if there were any issues that needed to be fixed under our home (a second opinion). After our first inspection we were told there were numerous issues that needed to be fixed that surely would have cost us thousands. We were considering the Earthquake Brace and Bolt program so the first inspection was a recommended foundation company through the EBB program. Daniel came out and took his time measuring the house on the exterior and interior. He was super meticulous and took settling measurements and also went under our home and took photos of the foundation. He sat with us after and explained everything to us. Turns out our foundation is stable and not needing any work. Daniel was super professional and knows his trade very very well. He was very honest. I now have a company I would call back in a heart beat if I needed to have any foundational work done. I will also recommend them to any neighbors that need this kind of company. The estimate was free as well and Daniel also had no hesitation crawling under the house on a 101 degree day to check things out. 5 star company here. Do not hesitate and call them! -Nicole San Ramon
