Don’t Replace Your Concrete. Repair It With PolyLevel®.
Better for you. Better for the planet.
Every year, millions of homeowners tear out cracked or sunken concrete and replace it with new slabs. It’s expensive, disruptive, and-most importantly-harmful to the environment.
PolyLevel® offers a longer-lasting, sustainable solution: lift and stabilize your existing concrete to save time, reduce waste, and help the planet.
That’s why FoamWorks Concrete Leveling supports the Green Concrete Initiative, a program focused on reducing waste and carbon emissions in the concrete industry. By repairing existing slabs with PolyLevel, we conserve resources and protect the planet.
The cement industry produces 4.5 billion ton of material every year.

Water Usage For Production
CONCRETE INDUSTRY FACTS
- Concrete is the most widely consumed substance on Earth besides water.
- If the Portland cement industry were a country, it would be the third largest CO2 emitter on the planet, behind only the US and China. (Portland cement is the stuff that holds concrete together.)
- The cement industry produces 4.5 billion tons of material every year.
- Concrete production uses a lot of water.
- By 2050, 75% of the water demand for concrete production will likely occur in regions that are expected to experience water stress.
How Do I Fix My Broken, Sunken Concrete?
The overall best option for sunken or uneven concrete is to raise and stabilize the slabs rather than tear them out. You’ll need a concrete leveling solution specifically designed to lift and support concrete slabs safely and efficiently. PolyLevel® foam is incredibly light and strong. So strong, it can raise broken, sunken concrete back to its original position while compressing the unstable soil beneath it. This means PolyLevel not only fixes your driveway, patio, or pool deck but also addresses the soil conditions that likely caused the problem in the first place.
PolyLevel: The Greener Way to Repair Concrete
When comparing concrete leveling versus replacement, cost and convenience are typically the first factors that come to mind. But there’s another major factor that should be considered: environmental impact.
Replacing a single driveway or patio may not seem like much, but millions of replacements each year add up.
With PolyLevel, your existing concrete is leveled and restored, and the old concrete doesn’t end up in a landfill.
Polylevel Reduces Waste & Carbon Emissions
Replacing concrete creates waste, increases carbon emissions, and fills landfills. Fixing your concrete slabs with PolyLevel helps reduce your environmental footprint in two primary ways.
It prevents your old concrete from ending up in a landfill.
It reduces demand for new concrete - one of the worst emitters of CO2 on the planet.

PolyLevel Is Environmentally Friendly
High-density polyurethane foams such as PolyLevel have been the subject of multiple scientific and regulatory studies over the years, and they’ve found:
PolyLevel is chemically inert once it cures. That means that once it sets, PolyLevel does not react with anything around it, so it won't leach into the soil or otherwise impart chemicals into the environment.
PolyLevel does not biodegrade. This means PolyLevel doesn't break down over time and affect the environment around it.
PolyLevel provides no nutritional value, so it is unlikely to be broken down by animals or insects.
PolyLevel won't photodegrade. Polyurethanes can degrade over time when exposed to UV radiation, but because PolyLevel is never exposed to sunlight, this is not an issue
