How Polyurethane Foam Helps Prevent Erosion Under Your Slab During Dry Manitoba Summers

Manitoba summers can be tough on concrete, even if we don’t always notice it right away. Long, dry stretches make the soil shrink and pull back from driveways, patios, and sidewalks. Then, when those heavy summer rains finally hit, water rushes into the empty spaces left behind, washing away even more soil. Over time, this cycle of drying out and sudden soaking can lead to erosion under your slabs, making them sink, crack, or become uneven.

That’s where polyurethane foam lifting comes in. Unlike older methods like mudjacking, foam lifting doesn’t just push your concrete back into place; it helps protect it from future problems. Here’s how it works: lightweight, waterproof foam is injected under the concrete. As it expands, it gently raises the slab back to level and fills any gaps or empty spaces that have formed beneath. Because the foam is waterproof, it won’t break down over time, which helps keep new water from pooling underneath and washing soil away.

For Manitoba homeowners, this is especially important. With local clay soils and dramatic weather changes, driveways and sidewalks often settle or shift over time. Foam lifting gives them a stable, solid base again, making them less likely to sink in the future, and it can save you the cost and hassle of a full concrete replacement. It’s quick, clean, and most surfaces are ready to use again within hours.
