Q: What is concrete lifting and leveling?
Concrete lifting and leveling is the process of raising sunken or uneven concrete back to its original position. We inject high-density polyurethane foam beneath the slab, which expands, fills voids, and lifts the concrete back into place.
Concrete lifting, concrete raising and concrete leveling all refer to the same process of fixing uneven or sunken concrete.
Q: Why does concrete sink or settle?
Concrete settles due to soil erosion, poor compaction, heavy loads, or water drainage issues. Over time, gaps (voids) form beneath the slab, causing it to sink or crack.
Q: How does polyurethane foam leveling work?
We drill small dime-sized holes into the affected concrete and inject expanding polyurethane foam beneath the slab. The foam fills voids, lifts the concrete, and stabilizes the soil, creating a long-lasting fix.
Q: Is polyurethane foam better than mudjacking?
Yes! Poly foam concrete leveling is superior to mudjacking because:
- It requires smaller holes (less noticeable).
- It is lighter, so it won’t add extra weight to the soil.
- It cures immediately (mudjacking takes 24-48 hours).
- It won’t shrink or wash away over time.
Q: How long does the process take?
Most jobs are completed within a few hours, and your concrete is ready for use immediately after the repair.
