Polyjacking for Broken Concrete in Baltimore and Surrounding Areas

Why choose polyjacking?

Many choose concrete for their hardscaping projects as a cost-effective and versatile option. Concrete is durable and long-lasting, whether it’s a patio, walkway, or driveway. However, it can sink over time—and the more this occurs, the more problematic it can become. Not only is uneven concrete an eyesore, but it’s also a tripping hazard. Because of the changing temperatures and rain and snow in Baltimore, this problem could seriously affect any building.

Those who have a property with uneven or sinking concrete may be looking for a concrete leveling option. If that’s the case, then polyjacking may be the solution.

Polyjacking, more formally known as polyurethane concrete leveling, injects polyurethane material into small holes made in concrete by a professional. The material will then rapidly expand to level out the concrete slab’s surface, as seen in the before and after pictures below.

Polyjacking Vs. Mudjacking

While raising concrete has typically been performed with a process called mudjacking, there are a few reasons why polyjacking is the better option, including:

• Fewer holes are needed

• Drilled holes are about the size of a dime; conversely, the holes used in mudjacking are about the size of a silver dollar.

• Polyurethane is less messy and more effective due to its rapid cure rate than mudjacking’s mud mixture

While polyjacking does cost more, in the end, it’s worth the extra investment for an overall better job and long-lasting product.
