Uneven, sunken, or cracked concrete surfaces are more than just an eyesore—they can create trip hazards, reduce property value, and lead to more serious structural issues over time. If you’re experiencing these problems on your property, concrete lifting is a cost effective, long-lasting solution. At True Level Concrete, we specialize in concrete lifting on Vancouver Island, offering trusted results backed by over 25 years of experience.
Our team of trained professionals uses advanced technology and proven techniques to restore concrete surfaces quickly and effectively. Whether it’s garage floors, driveways, warehouse floors, pool decks, or interior slabs, we’ve got the tools and expertise to do the job right.
Why Concrete Lifting Is the Best Solution
Concrete lifting—also referred to as slab jacking, concrete raising, or foam leveling—is the modern alternative to concrete replacement. Instead of tearing out and pouring new concrete, this process lifts the entire concrete slab back to its original position, correcting any settlement or unevenness caused by soil erosion, tree roots, or unstable soil conditions.
At True Level Concrete, we assess each specific situation to determine the best solution. Depending on the project, we offer both stone slurry grout leveling and polyurethane foam injection methods to lift, stabilize, and repair your sunken concrete.
Polyurethane Foam vs. Stone Slurry Grout or Mudjacking
Two popular concrete repair methods are polyurethane foam repair and stone slurry grout, or, mudjacking. We use Polyurethane for its versatility and seamlessness:
1. Polyurethane Foam Leveling
This method involves injecting foam beneath the slab through small holes. As the foam expands, it fills voids, lifts the settled concrete, and stabilizes the underlying soil. It’s ideal for quick jobs and sensitive areas, with most projects completed in about an hour. Foam leveling has a significant advantage: it’s lightweight, non toxic, and minimizes environmental impact. It’s also environmentally friendly, making it a great choice for residential and commercial projects.
2. Stone Slurry Grout Leveling or Mudjacking
This concrete repair method uses a pulverized limestone mixture that mimics the weight and density of concrete itself. Can be used for settled concrete slabs or heavier applications like warehouse floors, this material is pumped beneath the slab, filling voids and lifting concrete. Stone slurry grout however, uses portland cement, and can be a very messy, invasive process. Mudjacking requires more material as well as larger holes in the concrete to pump and patch.
Each method has its place, and our experts help guide you to the right approach based on other factors such as soil, cracks, voids beneath the slab, and the size of the area needing repair.

Lifting concrete is especially useful when:
- Your driveway or garage floor is sloping or cracked
- You see water pooling in areas that used to be flat
- There are visible cracks or gaps between the slab and adjacent surfaces
- You’re preparing to sell your home and want to improve curb appeal
- You want a durable, environmentally friendly alternative to concrete replacement
FAQs About Concrete Lifting
Is concrete lifting better than replacement?
Yes, in most cases. It’s faster, less time consuming, and significantly less disruptive. It’s also more cost effective than pouring new concrete.
How long does the process take?
Many projects are completed in about an hour, though larger or commercial jobs may require more time.
What about existing cracks?
Concrete lifting corrects the underlying soil issues that may have caused cracks, but the surface cracks themselves may still need aesthetic repair.
Will I need to leave my property?
Not at all. Our team works efficiently and safely, allowing you to go about your day with minimal disruption.
