what causes a concrete slab to sink?
Concrete is hard to beat as a basic material for all kinds of load-bearing surfaces, from driveways and sidewalks to floors, roads, and airport runways. However, concrete has two characteristics that can cause problems: it’s heavy and it can’t stretch.
The weight of a concrete slab can sometimes cause the soil beneath the slab to compress. When this happens, all or part of the concrete slab will sink down under its own weight, sometimes cracking in the process. The cracking occurs because concrete isn’t a resilient material. If a slab is unevenly supported, it’s likely to crack because it can’t stretch or bend.
Advantages of PolyLevel® vs Mudjacking
Lightweight
Lightweight
PolyLevel® weighs about 4 pounds per cubic foot, which is significantly less than the 120 pounds of typical fill material. This means there is almost no additional load added to the supporting soils.
High Capacity
High Capacity
Lifting action is a result of the expansion of the foam, allowing lift on much larger loads than typical mudjacking that relies on hydraulic pressure being contained under the slab.
Accurate Lift
Accurate Lift
Calculated reaction time of the polyurethane foam allows for precise lifting.
Waterproof
Waterproof
Polyurethane material is waterproof, so it will not wash out and can be used to under-seal the slab and stop other infrastructure leaks.
Non-Invasive
Non-Invasive
Equipment can be used in tight access areas, is less messy than other methods, and can be done more quickly. Concrete grinding, a common concrete repair technique, is loud, messy, and disrupts the area around the concrete.
Quick Cure Time
Quick Cure Time
Cure time allows for even heavy traffic just 15 minutes after completion of the injection of the material. With mudjacking, the injected mortar must be allowed to cure before any weight can be put on the slab – a process that can take several days.
PolyLevel® Can be Used for a Variety of Applications

The Best Solution For The Problem
PolyLevel® injection provides a fast solution for uneven concrete. The expanding foam is placed beneath the slab to fill empty spaces, lift the surface back to level, and create lasting support.
PolyLevel®
PolyLevel® is a high-density, two-part polyurethane foam injected beneath the concrete through small (penny-sized) ports. The foam expands to fill voids, stabilize the soil, and lift the slab back to its proper elevation. It’s quick-curing, non-invasive, and long-lasting—ideal for commercial applications where downtime matters.
Commercial CONCRETE LEVELING PROCESS
Site Inspection & Evaluation
We begin with a thorough on-site assessment of the affected concrete. Our team evaluates slab movement, surrounding soil conditions, drainage patterns, and the type of traffic or loads the surface supports. This allows us to determine the underlying cause of settlement, whether it is soil washout, poor compaction, or heavy repetitive loading. Understanding these factors ensures the repair addresses the root problem, not just the visible symptoms.
Proposal & Plan
After the evaluation, we develop a detailed repair plan tailored to your facility. The proposal outlines the scope of work, targeted lift areas, and any recommended add-ons such as crack sealing or joint repair. We also coordinate scheduling to minimize disruption to daily operations. For active commercial environments, phased repairs or off-hours scheduling can be arranged.
Precision Drilling
Small ⅝ inch holes are strategically drilled into the affected slab. These injection ports are placed to allow controlled lifting and even distribution of the material beneath the concrete. The drilling process is clean and localized, avoiding large-scale surface disruption. Careful placement ensures accurate slab correction.
PolyLevel® Injection
High-density PolyLevel® foam is injected beneath the slab through the drilled ports. As the material expands, it fills voids, stabilizes loose soil, and gradually lifts the concrete back toward its proper elevation. The lifting process is monitored in real time to ensure precise, even results. The foam cures quickly, allowing the slab to regain structural support within minutes.
Finish & Clean-Up
Once the slab is leveled, the injection ports are patched to create a clean, finished surface. If requested, cracks and joints can be sealed to help prevent water intrusion and extend the life of the slab. The work area is cleaned and cleared for use, typically within hours. Your surface is stabilized, safer, and ready for service with minimal downtime.
