Yes, Polyurethane Foam Lifting can be used to stabilize residential foundation footings, provided the settlement is minor to moderate and is primarily caused by soil voids. We utilize high-density polyurethane foam injection—often referred to as polyjacking—to fill those voids directly beneath the footings and lift settled concrete back into its original position.
This method offers several distinct advantages for residential properties:
While foam is an excellent, cost-effective solution for many homeowners, it is important to note that if footing settlement indicates deeper structural failure, alternative methods like Helical Piers or full underpinning may be required. As a family-owned and operated business since 1996, we provide custom assessments to determine which solution offers the superior performance your home needs.
All information is for general purposes; actual outcomes depend on site conditions. We recommend consulting a licensed structural engineer for definitive diagnosis. Estimates are preliminary until confirmed by an on-site inspection.
Determining the lateral load capacity for ICC-ES compliance involves a multi-layered engineering approach that combines full-scale laboratory testing, shaft geometry analysis, and field validation. To meet ICC-ES AC358 standards, the lateral capacity of our helical pier systems is determined through…
During the continuous special inspection of a helical pile installation, our team and the assigned special inspector must record specific field data to verify that the as-built foundation aligns with the engineered design and IBC 2026 requirements. We record the…
To ensure a compliant helical pile submittal under IBC 2026, a comprehensive documentation package is required. This package must satisfy the geotechnical, structural, and quality-control standards established in Chapter 18 of the code. The core submittal documents include: As the…
When comparing Polyurethane Foam Lifting to traditional concrete replacement, the longevity of the repair is a significant advantage because it addresses the root cause of the problem. While new concrete provides a fresh surface, it does not fix the underlying…
Yes, Polyurethane Foam Lifting is often the more economical choice compared to a full concrete replacement. Our injection method allows you to avoid the high costs associated with demolition, hauling away old materials, and pouring new concrete. The primary cost-saving…
