Polyurethane Foam Concrete Leveling in Colorado Springs

What Is Polyurethane Foam Concrete Leveling?

Polyurethane foam leveling — sometimes called polyjacking or foam jacking — is a modern concrete lifting method that uses expanding two-part polyurethane foam to raise sunken slabs. The foam is injected through tiny 5/8-inch holes drilled in the concrete. Once injected, it expands rapidly beneath the slab, filling voids and lifting the concrete back to its proper grade with remarkable precision.

At Colorado Springs Leveling, we are a hybrid contractor offering both our signature limestone slurry method and polyurethane foam leveling. This means we can evaluate your specific project and recommend the ideal solution — not the only solution we happen to offer. When foam is the right answer, our trained technicians deliver precise, lasting results.

When Is Foam Leveling the Right Choice?

While our limestone slurry method is ideal for most residential exterior projects, there are specific situations where polyurethane foam is the superior solution:

Interior Spaces and Tight Access

Polyurethane foam equipment is more portable than traditional mudjacking rigs. This makes foam the go-to choice for interior spaces like garage floors, basement slabs, and enclosed patios where large pumping equipment cannot easily reach. The smaller 5/8-inch drill holes also mean less visible impact on interior flooring surfaces.

High Moisture Areas

Unlike cementitious slurries, polyurethane foam is completely waterproof. It does not absorb water, break down from moisture exposure, or wash away over time. This makes it the preferred material for areas with high water tables, poor drainage, or chronic moisture problems beneath the slab.

Lightweight Requirements

Polyurethane foam weighs a fraction of what limestone slurry or traditional mudjacking material weighs. When the soil beneath your concrete is already compromised and cannot support additional weight, the lightweight nature of foam provides lifting force without adding significant load to the subgrade.

Precision Lifting

The expansion rate of polyurethane foam can be controlled with great precision, making it ideal for projects requiring extremely accurate lifting — such as leveling a garage floor to match an interior threshold, or raising a slab to meet an exact elevation specification.

How Our Foam Leveling Process Works

Our polyurethane foam leveling process is efficient, clean, and minimally disruptive. Most projects are completed in a few hours, and you can use the surface immediately afterward.

Thorough Inspection

Every foam leveling project begins with a detailed assessment. We measure settlement depths, evaluate soil conditions, check for underlying causes like poor drainage or plumbing leaks, and confirm that foam leveling is the optimal approach. We will explain our findings and provide a straightforward quote before any work begins.

Strategic Drilling

Tiny 5/8-inch holes — smaller than a dime — are drilled through the concrete at carefully calculated positions. The number and spacing of holes depends on the size of the slab and the pattern of settlement. For interior work, we take extra care to protect surrounding surfaces and minimize dust.

Controlled Foam Injection

Our two-part polyurethane foam is mixed and injected through the drill holes using specialized equipment. The foam begins expanding within seconds, flowing into voids and cavities beneath the slab. As it expands, it generates lifting force that raises the concrete in a controlled, gradual manner. Our technicians monitor the lift in real time, making adjustments to achieve precise results.

Rapid Curing

One of the biggest advantages of polyurethane foam is its cure time. The foam reaches approximately 90% of its full structural strength within minutes of injection. This means there is virtually no waiting period — you can walk on the surface immediately and resume normal use right away.

Foam Leveling vs. Limestone Slurry: Choosing the Right Method

As a hybrid contractor, we believe in using the right tool for the job. Here is how the two methods compare:

Feature	Polyurethane Foam	Limestone Slurry
Hole size	5/8 inch	1 inch
Cure time	Minutes	Hours
Weight	Very light	Heavier
Waterproof	Yes	Moderate
Best for	Interior, tight access	Exterior, large areas
Cost	Higher per project	Lower per project
Eco-friendly	Synthetic polymer	Natural agricultural lime

Neither method is universally better than the other. The right choice depends on your specific situation — access constraints, location (interior vs. exterior), moisture conditions, load requirements, and budget. During your free assessment, we evaluate all these factors and provide an honest recommendation.

Applications for Polyurethane Foam Leveling

Foam leveling is versatile and effective across many concrete surfaces:

• Garage floors — Level interior slabs without disrupting your vehicles or storage
• Basement slabs — Address settlement beneath finished or unfinished basements
• Interior concrete floors — Ideal for enclosed spaces where equipment access is limited
• Concrete steps and stoops — Precise lifting for small, detailed areas
• Porch and patio slabs — Especially enclosed or covered areas with restricted access
• Commercial interior floors — Warehouse areas, retail spaces, and office buildings
