3 Reasons Why PolyLevel is a Better Solution to Mud Jacking

20 Minutes vs 1 Week to Use

Since most people are looking for a cost-effective and time-saving solution, PolyLevel proves helpful. When PolyLevel is injected, it sets in about 15 seconds. This means that in 20 minutes it’s ready for use. Now you can make it to soccer practice or your important meeting.The average time for using concrete after it has been mud jacked is one week. Say hello to street parking.

Inorganic vs. Mud-like Cement Solution

Because PolyLevel is made up of an inorganic, expanding foam, it becomes stiff and rigid when it sets. You know what that means? No washout.

Due to the fact mud jacking is made up of water, soil, sand, and Portland cement, the problem of soil washout still remains. Because of this makeup, as water moves under concrete, the material can wash away. These materials together are extremely heavy and add more pressure to the already unstable soil under the sinking slab. In short, this method to fix what initially caused the problem could actually be adding to it.

2 Millimeter, Virtually Unnoticeable Holes vs. 2 Inch, Impossible to Hide Holes

When PolyLevel is injected, holes that are 2 millimeters, or about the size of a penny in diameter are drilled. Not to mention, the concrete dust created from drilling the holes is saved and mixed in with the new concrete used to fill the holes, thus blending in and making holes nearly impossible to see. Mud jacking requires the drilling of holes about the size of a soda can, leading to an unpleasant, and obvious appearance.
