Concrete Lifting Process
How We Fix Sunken Concrete
Quick, Clean, and Long-Lasting Concrete Leveling
At Elevated Concrete Lifting, we use polyurethane foam injection to lift and stabilize sunken concrete. Whether it’s a driveway, sidewalk, warehouse floor, or parking lot, our process is fast, non-invasive, and cost-effective—without the mess of traditional concrete replacement.
Here’s how we restore your concrete in just a few hours:
Step 1: Inspection & Assessment
📍 What We Do:
- We evaluate the area to identify why the concrete has sunk.
- We check for cracks, voids, and soil erosion under the slab.
- We provide a free estimate and explain the repair plan.
✅ Why It’s Important:
A proper inspection ensures we address the root cause of the sinking concrete, preventing future problems.
Step 2: Drilling Small Injection Holes
📍 What We Do:
- We drill small, dime-sized holes into the affected concrete slab.
- These holes allow us to inject polyurethane foam underneath the concrete.
✅ Why It’s Important:
Unlike mudjacking, which requires large holes, our process is minimally invasive, preserving the look of your concrete.
Step 3: Injecting Polyurethane Foam
📍 What We Do:
- We inject high-density polyurethane foam through the drilled holes.
- The foam expands beneath the slab, filling empty spaces (voids) and lifting the concrete back into place.
- The foam hardens in minutes, creating a strong, waterproof base.
✅ Why It’s Important:
- Stronger than mudjacking slurry (which can erode over time).
- Waterproof—won’t wash away like traditional concrete mixtures.
- Lightweight yet durable—doesn’t add extra weight to unstable soil.
Step 4: Leveling & Precision Adjustment
📍 What We Do:
- We closely monitor the lift to ensure the concrete is raised evenly.
- We make precise adjustments to bring the slab back to its original position.
✅ Why It’s Important:
- Prevents cracks and stress on the slab.
- Ensures proper drainage and alignment.
Step 5: Sealing & Finishing
📍 What We Do:
- We patch and seal the injection holes, leaving a clean, finished surface.
- We ensure your concrete is safe, stable, and ready for use.
✅ Why It’s Important:
- Protects the repair from water infiltration.
- Blends with existing concrete for a seamless look.
Step 6: Ready to Use Immediately!
📍 What We Do:
- Once the polyurethane foam is injected, your concrete is ready for use immediately—no waiting time required!
✅ Why It’s Important:
- No long drying times like with traditional concrete.
- Minimal downtime—you can walk or drive on the surface immediately.
