Concrete Raising for Sidewalks, Patios, Driveways, and More in the Minneapolis–St. Paul Area
Uneven concrete can be dangerous, unsightly, and expensive to replace. At Benchmark Concrete Raising, we make it easy to fix your concrete problems—whether it's one small sidewalk panel or a long commercial walkway.
We use a high-performance process called polyurethane concrete lifting (also known as polyjacking) to raise sunken slabs quickly, cleanly, and affordably—without the hassle of demolition or long downtime.

FAQs: Concrete Lifting with Polyurethane Foam
What is concrete lifting?
Concrete lifting (also called polyjacking) involves injecting expanding polyurethane foam beneath sunken concrete to raise and level the slab.
How long does the process take?
Most residential projects are completed within a few hours. The area is usually ready for use the same day.
Is polyurethane foam safe for the environment?
Yes. The foam we use is inert, non-toxic, and will not leach into the ground or groundwater.
How much does it cost to lift concrete?
Every job is different, but lifting is often 40–70% less expensive than concrete replacement. We provide free estimates to help you decide.









Polyurethane Concrete Leveling vs. Mudjacking: What's the Difference?
Polyurethane Concrete Leveling vs. Mudjacking: What's the Difference?
When it comes to repairing uneven or sunken concrete surfaces, understanding your options is crucial. At Benchmark Concrete Raising, we believe in empowering our customers with information so they can make the best decision for their property. Our core values of clear communication, transparent pricing, and quality craftsmanship guide every project we undertake.
What is Mudjacking?
Mudjacking is a traditional method that involves pumping a cement-based slurry beneath sunken concrete slabs. This slurry fills voids and lifts the concrete back to its original position. However, mudjacking has several limitations:
Mess and Disruption: Mudjacking involves drilling large holes and pumping slurry, resulting in more mess and inconvenience.
Shorter Lifespan: Due to weather exposure and soil erosion, mudjacking can deteriorate over time, requiring repeated repairs.
Additional Weight: The heavy cement slurry can contribute to further settling in unstable soil conditions.
Advantages of Polyurethane Concrete Leveling
Benchmark Concrete Raising specializes in polyurethane concrete leveling, offering significant advantages over mudjacking:
Clean and Quick: Small, minimally invasive injection holes allow for a clean and efficient process.
Immediate Use: Polyurethane foam cures rapidly, letting you use your concrete surfaces almost immediately.
Durability: Polyurethane provides a stable, lasting solution by reinforcing soil stability and preventing future settling.
Environmentally Friendly: Polyurethane foam is eco-friendly and safe for surrounding soil and groundwater.
