Polyurethane Foam vs. Mud-Jacking: What's the Difference?

Both polyurethane foam leveling and traditional mud-jacking are used to raise settled concrete, but the materials and repair process are different.


Bothun's Concrete Leveling uses polyurethane foam because it provides a clean, lightweight, fast, and long-lasting approach to concrete lifting throughout Janesville, Madison, Milton, Beloit, and surrounding Wisconsin communities.

Smaller Injection Points, Cleaner Installation

Bothun's Concrete Leveling can perform polyurethane concrete leveling through injection holes as small as a dime.


The polyurethane foam is contained during installation, so there is no need for messy onsite slurry mixing and less opportunity for spills around the repair area.

A Lighter Material Beneath Your Concrete

Polyurethane foam is much lighter than the slurry traditionally used for mud-jacking.


Because less additional weight is being placed beneath the slab, polyurethane foam puts less pressure on the supporting soil while still providing the material needed to lift and level affected concrete.

Fast Repairs With Minimal Downtime

Polyurethane foam leveling is designed for a fast repair process. Bothun's Concrete Leveling offers same-day repairs, and the existing site states that repaired concrete can be used immediately after the polyurethane leveling work is completed.


That means less waiting and less disruption around your home, business, or property.

Designed for a Long-Lasting Concrete Repair

Bothun's Concrete Leveling describes polyurethane foam leveling as a long-lasting solution and states that traditional mud-jacking material can settle over time.


The polyurethane foam used by Bothun's is also more water-resistant than traditional mud-jacking slurry, adding another advantage when choosing a concrete-leveling material.
