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.

Watch the transformation: See how Boost Concrete lifts a sunken slab in minutes — no demolition, no mess.


Why It’s Worth It

  • Up to 75% more affordable than replacing concrete

  • No demolition or mess to clean up

  • Fast results — you can walk or drive on it the same day

  • Long-lasting solution backed by science

  • Boosts curb appeal and reduces liability (no more trip hazards!)



What to Expect: Before, During & After

Before Your Appointment

  • You’ll get a free quote based on the condition of your concrete

  • We assess how much lifting is needed and plan the foam injection spots

  • You pick a convenient time — the whole process usually takes less than a day

During the Foam Jacking Process

  1. Small holes (about the size of a coin) are drilled into the affected slab

  2. Polyurethane foam is injected beneath the surface

  3. As the foam expands, it gently lifts the slab to the correct height

  4. The holes are filled and smoothed to match the surrounding concrete

It’s satisfying to watch — the slab lifts in real-time!

After We're Done

  • The surface is immediately safe to walk or drive on

  • You’ll barely notice where we drilled

  • You get a level surface without the high cost or stress of replacement



Who Is Foam Jacking For?

  • Homeowners with cracked or sunken concrete

  • Property managers wanting to avoid liability issues

  • Anyone looking for a permanent fix without breaking the bank

Whether it's your front steps, garage, driveway, patio, or walkway — if it’s sinking, we can lift it.
