KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT

Foam or grout: compare the proposed lifting method

Once lifting makes sense, the next question is how the slab is raised. Pumped grout and expanding polyurethane foam are two approaches placed beneath the concrete through access holes. Here is how they differ and what to ask before choosing.

01

How do the approaches differ?

A method name alone does not establish suitability, so compare how each would be applied to your slab.

What should the assessor explain?

  • Which method is proposed for your actual slab, and why it fits that condition.
  • How access holes and existing cracks will be handled during the work.
  • What finish and return-to-use limits apply to the process being proposed.
  • Which product-specific instructions apply to this job, rather than borrowing claims from another system.
03

What should you avoid assuming?

Another company's cure time, hole size, strength, warranty or environmental claim is not a general promise, and it should not be treated as one for your project. This guide compares approaches. It is not instruction for injecting concrete yourself, and it does not signal a dealer relationship with any branded product.
