In industrial environments, concrete floors carry more than just foot traffic—they support heavy machinery, forklifts, storage racks, and constant movement. Over time, concrete settlement can cause floors, loading docks, or parking lots to sink, crack, or become uneven. These issues create safety hazards, reduce efficiency, and can even damage equipment. When it comes to restoring industrial slabs, foam jacking is quickly becoming the preferred method of repair. Here’s why.
What Is Foam Jacking?
Foam jacking, also called polyurethane concrete lifting, is a form of slab jacking that uses high-density polyurethane foam to lift and stabilize sunken concrete. Small holes are drilled into the slab, and the foam is injected underneath. As it expands, the foam fills voids, compacts weak soil, and raises the slab back into position—all with minimal disruption.
Why Foam Jacking Outperforms Traditional Methods
Industrial spaces demand durable and efficient solutions, and foam jacking checks all the boxes:
1. Minimal Downtime
In a warehouse or manufacturing facility, shutting down operations for days isn’t an option. Foam cures within minutes, meaning repaired areas can be used almost immediately. No long waiting periods—just a quick return to business as usual.
2. Strength to Handle Heavy Loads
Polyurethane foam is designed to withstand the weight of industrial equipment, forklifts, and constant vehicle traffic. It not only lifts the slab but also reinforces the soil below, creating a stable foundation.
3. Precision Leveling
Uneven floors can make equipment unstable and create safety risks. Foam jacking allows for highly precise lifting, restoring concrete to a level condition and eliminating hazards.
4. Cost Savings
Full slab replacement is expensive, time-consuming, and disruptive. Foam jacking costs a fraction of replacement, while still providing a long-lasting solution.
5. Durability
Unlike traditional mudjacking materials, polyurethane foam doesn’t shrink, wash out, or deteriorate under industrial conditions. Its durability makes it an ideal choice for long-term repairs.
