Poly Leveling vs. Mudjacking
Which Concrete Lifting Method is Better?
When it comes to fixing sunken concrete, you might have heard of the terms poly leveling and mudjacking. While both methods lift and level your concrete, they use different materials and techniques.
At Level Headed Mudjackers, we focus exclusively on mudjacking—a time-tested, cost-effective method that works reliably across Wisconsin. Read on to learn about the differences between poly leveling and mudjacking and why our mudjacking process is superior.
Key Differences
- Material:
Poly leveling uses expanding polyurethane foam, while mudjacking uses a natural cement-based mix. - Application:
Poly leveling requires very precise control during application, whereas mudjacking is a straightforward process that has stood the test of time. - Cost:
Mudjacking is generally more affordable, costing 50-75% less than a full concrete replacement. - Curing Time:
Although poly leveling can allow for almost immediate use, mudjacking repairs are typically ready for use within minutes and offer long-lasting support. - Durability:
Mudjacking has a proven track record over many years, making it a safe and reliable choice for a variety of applications.
