How Long Does Polyurethane Foam Lifting Last?
Request A Free EstimatePolyurethane foam concrete lifting typically lasts between 10 to 20+ years—often as long as a full concrete replacement. It’s a strong, stable, and waterproof solution that holds up against weather, weight, and time. The key? Proper installation and soil conditions.
Is Foam Lifting Just a Quick Fix? Not at All.
We hear it all the time from homeowners across New Jersey, Westchester, and the Lower Hudson Valley:
“It sounds fast and affordable—but does it really last?”
At Metro Concrete Lifting, we want you to know: polyurethane foam lifting isn’t just a temporary band-aid. In most cases, it’s a long-term solution that restores safety and curb appeal—without the cost and mess of concrete replacement.
What Makes Polyurethane Foam So Durable?
The foam we use is a high-density, closed-cell polyurethane designed for:
- Moisture resistance (won’t absorb water or erode)
- High compression strength (can support cars, patios, and garage floors)
- Long-term soil stability (fills voids, preventing future settling)
- Weather resistance (performs well across NJ & NY seasonal changes)
When properly installed, it lasts 10–20+ years—often just as long as a new slab.
What Factors Affect Foam Lifespan?
Here’s what determines how long your foam lifting repair will last:
| Factor | Impact |
|---|---|
| Soil Conditions | Stable, compacted soil = longer performance |
| Drainage | Proper water runoff prevents erosion below slab |
| Weight Load | Residential driveways last longer than loading docks |
| Installation Quality | Our experienced team ensures optimal foam placement |
What Happens If You Wait?
A sunken slab today becomes a cracked hazard tomorrow. And the longer it sits:
- Water continues to erode the soil
- Cracks grow and shift
- Foam injection becomes more complex—or even impossible
Lifting early ensures longer-lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does foam lifting really last?
Polyurethane foam lifting typically lasts between 10 to 20+ years when properly installed and maintained. It's a long-term solution, not a temporary fix.
Does foam lifting work as well as replacing the concrete?
Yes—in many cases, foam lifting restores the slab to level without the cost, mess, or downtime of replacement. It’s also more environmentally friendly and less disruptive.
Can foam lifting be used for driveways and garages?
Absolutely. Our foam is strong enough to support cars, trucks, and even commercial traffic. It’s perfect for residential and light commercial surfaces.
Will the foam break down over time?
No. The polyurethane foam is closed-cell, waterproof, and resistant to erosion, so it won’t wash away or shrink like older mudjacking methods.
How do I make sure the repair lasts as long as possible?
We recommend maintaining good drainage around your concrete, avoiding excessive water runoff, and contacting us if you see new signs of settling.
