How Benchmark Concrete Raising Uses Sustainable Practices to Repair Concrete the Smart Way
Is Concrete Leveling Eco-Friendly?
Yes — at Benchmark Concrete Raising, we use sustainable practices that reduce waste, minimize disruption, and deliver long-lasting results without replacing concrete.
Instead of tearing out slabs and hauling them to a landfill, we use a clean, efficient process called polyjacking, which lifts your existing concrete using a lightweight, water-resistant polyurethane foam.
What Makes Polyjacking a Sustainable Concrete Repair Method?
Here’s how our process supports sustainability:
1. We Repair Instead of Replace
Tearing out sunken slabs requires energy, labor, materials, and transportation. Polyjacking extends the life of your existing concrete, which:
Keeps slabs out of landfills
Reduces demand for new concrete
Saves energy and raw materials
2. Our Foam Is Eco-Conscious
We use high-density polyurethane foam that is:
Inert and non-toxic
Hydrophobic (resists water intrusion and erosion)
Long-lasting and stable for decades
Once injected, it cures within minutes and does not leach into soil or groundwater.
3. No Heavy Equipment or Excess Emissions
Our small-scale tools and trucks leave a light footprint:
No jackhammers or excavators
Fewer emissions compared to full concrete removal
Minimal soil disturbance and site disruption
4. Less Water Usage
Concrete replacement uses large amounts of water to mix, pour, and cure. Polyjacking requires no water at all during the repair process.
