Also known as foam lifting, concrete lifting is the act of injecting a polyurethane mixture under concrete to raise it back to level. Our lifting process consists of filling a void under an object or concrete slab with a polyurethane mixture to support the weight of the object or concrete slab. Essentially, we can raise any form of concrete slab. Solid slabs of concrete can be raised and stabilized.
When we are called to assist a homeowner with a free estimate on whether they should level their concrete, or replace it, they are often happily surprised they can have perfectly aligned concrete again, in a matter of minutes, saving them time and money. That’s because when compared to concrete replacement, the process of raising concrete with polyurethane foam is inexpensive (compared to the alternatives), and is exponentially faster than replacing the concrete.
- Residential – driveways, sidewalks, interior floor slabs, porches & stoops, pool decks and patios
- Commercial – factory floors, apartment complexes
- Municipal and D.O.T. – roads, streets, and highways, bridge approach, curb & gutter, sidewalk projects
Benefits of Concrete Lifting
- Safety. Trip hazards can harm you, your family and allows your property to be open for unwanted liability.
- Cost. You can raise your concrete for less than half the price of replacing the concrete slab.
- Time. Your slab problem will only worsen in time, fix it now and avoid the hassle later. Raising concrete with poly foam often takes a couple of hours and is ready immediately upon completion.
- Appearance. Eye sores and additional structural cracks can be the result of unlevel concrete.
- Home Value. Trying to sell your home? First appearance is everything to a homebuyer.
- Structural Damage. When a concrete slab settles, consequently doors and windows stick and structures connected to the slab may crack and settle as well.
- Water Damage. Water follows the path of least resistance and a settled or sunken driveway may end up costing a homeowner more money over time in foundation repairs.
- Be Green. By raising your concrete you are saving your current slab from being torn out and deposited at a landfill.
