Bend, known for its majestic mountains, sparkling Cascade Lakes, and two of Oregon’s Seven Wonders, experiences less rainfall than many other Oregon cities due to its location east of the Cascades. Despite this, soil-related issues and moisture impacts are still common concerns for homeowners in the area.
FOUNDATION REPAIR AND SOIL CONDITIONS IN BEND
Bend’s unique soil conditions can present challenges for home foundations. Issues such as settlement, cracked basement walls, and shifting foundations may arise, especially in areas prone to soil instability or erosion. Staying vigilant for signs of foundation problems is essential to maintaining the safety and value of your home.

BEND Homeowners Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of foam is used to lift concrete?
High-density polyurethane foam is the expert’s choice for concrete lift. Our PolyLevel solution uses high-density polyurethane foam to fill voids and stabilize sinking concrete slabs. The expanding properties of the two-part urethane formula allow for the lifting of the slab.
How can I get the city to fix the sidewalk?
Generally, sidewalks are owned by local jurisdictions as public right-of-ways, however maintenance and repairs are the responsibility of the homeowner.
Is concrete crack repair long-lasting?
Yes. Because it is silicone-based, not urethane-based, NexusPro won’t degrade over time, even when exposed to UV radiation and extreme temperatures. This ensures that it remains flexible and waterproof for years.
My concrete seems to have moved up during the winter months, is this a problem?
If your concrete has shifted up during the winter months, it is most likely heaved from the frozen dirt below the concrete. This is normal, and usually the concrete will return to normal once the ground thaws. If it doesn’t return to its normal position, you may want to have one of our experts take a look to determine if a permanent solution is necessary.
How quickly can a leveled concrete slab be used?
Within just 15 minutes after injection, the concrete slab is ready for heavy loading; compared to conventional mudjacking which takes several days to cure.
Will the polyurethane foam system withstand Freezing Cold TempEraturs?
Polyurethane formula is fully waterproof, so it won’t wash out, won’t be impacted by freeze/thaw cycles, and can be used to under-seal slabs and stop a variety of infrastructure leaks.
Can’t I fix my own driveway?
DIY patches can tackle surface problems, but this won’t fix the underlying problem and more cracks can form in your driveway. Although do-it-yourself repairs might be less expensive, they can be messy, require special tools and equipment, and it can be as long as 30 days before you’re able to use your driveway again!
What’s the best way to repair concrete?
Available to be installed year-round, the NexusPro solution offers several advantages over traditional concrete crack repairs. Its fast cure time (60 minutes) and performance under extreme temperatures makes it a perfect match for concrete repairs in Salem, Eugene and throughout the Pacific Northwest.
When is it better to replace concrete?
Sometimes, concrete is ugly, too cracked, or too thin to lift and stabilize. In these cases, TerraFirma can provide concrete demolition and replacement services. Schedule your free estimate today and get an expert’s opinion about the state of your concrete slabs.
Can you repair cracked concrete after going through concrete leveling?
Yes. In fact, we recommend that our TerraFirma Concrete Leveling customers seal the cracks and joints of their newly lifted concrete with our NexusPro solution, as it will help protect their concrete for many years to come.
Is the polyurethane foam leveling system eco-friendly?
PolyLevel® does not react with soil or moisture; it will not leach harmful chemicals into the soil. It reduces demand for new concrete - one of the worst emitters of CO2 on the planet. Additionally, with our solution, there’s no need to demolish the concrete and transport the waste to a landfill.
What is better: mudjacking or polyurethane?
A Polyurethane solution is not as messy or disruptive as other foundation-lifting techniques like mudjacking. Our PolyLevel solution is lightweight (without compromising strength), and offers faster installation and cure time, making it the best option available.
