Concrete Lifting: The Cost-Effective Way to Restore Your Property’s Surfaces

When concrete surfaces start to sink, crack, or become uneven, it’s more than just a cosmetic issue—it can create serious trip hazards, impact the integrity of your foundation, and reduce the value of your property. Fortunately, concrete lifting is a proven method that offers a fast, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solution for stabilizing and restoring slabs around your home or business.

Why Concrete Sinks

Over time, soil beneath concrete slabs can erode or compress, leading to voids that cause the concrete above to settle. This often results in sunken concrete, especially in high-traffic areas like driveways, garage floors, pool decks, and even near your front door. Contributing factors include heavy loads, water intrusion, tree roots, and the natural settling of ground over time.

Concrete Lifting: An Effective Repair Process

Rather than opting for concrete replacement, which is expensive, time-consuming, and often involves heavy equipment, many property owners are choosing concrete lifting techniques such as polyurethane foam injection and stone slurry grout leveling. These modern methods are gaining popularity across the concrete lifting industry thanks to their efficiency, precision, and lower environmental impact.

The Polyurethane Foam Method

Foam leveling, or polyurethane foam injection, is a minimally invasive process that involves injecting expanding foam under the settled concrete. This lifts and levels the surface with minimal disruption to the surrounding area. Technicians drill smaller holes—typically less than an inch in diameter—into the slab, insert the polyurethane material, and the expanding foam fills the voids beneath the surface, effectively raising concrete back to its original height.

Stone Slurry Grout Leveling

Another option is stone slurry grout leveling, a method that utilizes pulverized limestone and water to create a dense material that is pumped under the slab. While this method requires larger holes than foam, it’s highly durable and suitable for commercial or industrial projects involving heavy loads or wide concrete slab sections. This technique is sometimes referred to as slab jacking or mud jacking, though it uses more advanced materials for void filling and lifting concrete effectively.

Comparing the Costs

When evaluating cost, both foam and grout concrete raising methods are significantly more affordable than full concrete replacement. The cost varies based on square foot coverage, severity of the damage, and site access. However, lifting rather than choosing to replace concrete often results in savings of up to 50% or more.

Additionally, the repair can usually be completed in just a few hours, and surfaces are typically ready for use the same day—eliminating long project delays.
