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.
