A cost-effective and long-lasting solution for concrete raising.

An average concrete lifting job ranges from $1k-$3K+

In most situations, Epp Foundation Repair's polyurethane foam injection repairs are permanent. The material that we use to complete repairs will last a lifetime. It cures within minutes as a solid, impermeable structure that adheres directly to the concrete.

The foam itself does not break down. Sunlight exposure is the only thing that can break it down. But, the foam is under the slab and not exposed to sunlight. It is also closed-cell, so water can’t penetrate it. If you see some signs of failure, it’s most likely because the soils are moving underneath our material, not because of the material itself. In other words, as long as the substrate (the underlying soil) continues to perform, the polyurethane can last forever. It’s the soil that poses the primary risk to your repair.

It is usually accomplished in a few hours depending on the job and the size. 90% of our projects are completed same day.

We can usually get positive results on approximately 90% of all of our projects. It is rare that we can’t accomplish a satisfied fix for the customer. Polyurethane foam does not fix slabs that are raised by tree roots or from freeze/thaw cycles.

Yes!

Typically, our customers never notice the patched holes. The patching material that we use when cured blends into existing concrete very well. The holes that we drill are no bigger than a dime so it is difficult to notice where we drilled when we are finished.

No. Removal and replacement of the concrete is the only way to drop a concrete slab.

Most of the time yes. It does depend on the height of the home and the structure, but we can usually achieve positive slope away from the home when needed if the structural height allows.

Mudjacking is sand, water, and a little bit of Portland cement to give it some stickiness and some cohesion. Without it, it’s just sand. It’s susceptible to erosion, takes on moisture, can fracture, crack, and fall apart. Not to mention, the slurry is much heavier than the foam, contributing to further settlement over time.  Mudjacking was a fine solution when it was the only alternative to tearing your concrete out. But now with the advent of polymers, it’s becoming obsolete.
