Poly Leveling vs. Mudjacking

What’s the Difference — and Which One Is Right for You?

If you’ve got sinking concrete, you’ve probably come across two common terms: mudjacking and poly leveling (also called polyjacking or foam lifting). Both are methods of concrete lifting and slabjacking, but they use different materials and come with different costs, pros, and cons.

Here’s what you really need to know — in plain language.
