If you’ve noticed uneven concrete around your home — maybe a sinking step, tilted patio, or sloped walkway — you might be wondering if it’s time to tear it all out and start fresh. But before you commit to that expensive, messy process, there’s a smarter option that most people don’t know about: foam jacking.
Foam jacking (also known as polyurethane concrete lifting or slab jacking) is a fast, affordable solution that can literally save you thousands — and the results are immediate. In this post, we’ll break down what foam jacking is, how it works, and what you can expect from the process.
What Is Foam Jacking?
Foam jacking is a method used to lift and level sunken or uneven concrete. Instead of demolishing and replacing the slab, a special polyurethane foam is injected underneath it. As the foam expands, it gently raises the concrete back into its original position.
It’s safe, quick, cost-effective, and doesn’t disrupt your landscaping or daily life.

During the Foam Jacking Process
Small holes (about the size of a coin) are drilled into the affected slab
Polyurethane foam is injected beneath the surface
As the foam expands, it gently lifts the slab to the correct height
The holes are filled and smoothed to match the surrounding concrete
It’s satisfying to watch — the slab lifts in real-time!
