Two proven methods for lifting sunken concrete — different materials, different costs, different lifespans. We offer both and explain honestly which one fits your specific project.

What It Is
Mudjacking uses a cement-soil slurry pumped under the slab at high pressure to fill voids and lift concrete. Polyurethane foam uses expanding two-part foam injected in small quantities to fill voids and lift with precision. Both work. Both are dramatically cheaper than replacement. The right choice depends on your project.
Why Des Moines Needs It
There's no universally 'better' method — each has strengths. Mudjacking is time-tested and lower cost for large projects. Polyurethane foam is lighter, cures faster, and is more precise for smaller or more delicate applications. We assess your project and recommend the right approach.
Key Benefits
Our Process
We evaluate the slab size, void depth, concrete condition, and project location to determine which method is optimal.
We walk you through both methods with real cost and lifespan numbers for your specific project — no sales pressure.
You select the method that fits your budget and timeline. We proceed on your schedule.
Whichever method you choose, we execute with the same professional crew and quality guarantee.
Transparent Pricing
Mudjacking is typically 25–40% less expensive per project. Polyurethane foam costs more upfront but lasts longer and cures faster. We give you both quotes.

Common Questions
Polyurethane foam generally outlasts mudjacking slurry. Foam: 10–15+ years. Mudjacking: 5–10 years. However, mudjacking on well-prepared soil can last just as long.
Yes — cured polyurethane foam is inert and non-toxic. It does not leach chemicals into the soil.
Either works. For large driveways, mudjacking's lower cost is attractive. For precision lifting near the garage or house, foam's controllability is valuable.
Yes — we sometimes use mudjacking for large open areas and foam for precision work near structures on the same job.
