Both methods lift concrete, but the similarities end there. See why modern polyurethane foam lifting has become the preferred choice for Illinois homeowners and businesses.
See the clear differences between these two concrete lifting approaches.
2-4 hours for typical project
Ready to use immediately
⅝" diameter holes
Barely visible when sealed
Lightweight, waterproof foam

Permanent solution
Lifetime warranty available
Full day or multiple days
24-48 hour cure time required
1-2" diameter holes
Large, noticeable patches
Heavy cement/sand slurry
Can wash out over time
Temporary to semi-permanent

Look beyond the initial price to see the real value difference.
Our harsh climate conditions make the choice even clearer.
Illinois experiences dozens of freeze-thaw cycles each winter, which can be devastating to concrete lifting materials.
Illinois spring storms can dump inches of rain in hours, testing the water resistance of lifting materials.
Much of Illinois sits on expansive clay soil that swells and shrinks dramatically with moisture changes.
Illinois weather can be unpredictable, making installation timing critical for project success.
Don't settle for 1930s technology when you can have a long-lasting, modern solution that's designed for Illinois conditions.
