What is concrete lifting and leveling?
Concrete lifting and leveling is a process that raises sunken or uneven concrete surfaces back to their original position, making them safer and more functional.
What is polyjacking?
Polyjacking involves injecting a high-density polyurethane foam beneath concrete to lift and stabilize it. It’s a modern, efficient alternative to traditional mudjacking.
How long does the concrete lifting process take?
Most residential jobs are completed in a few hours. Larger or more complex projects may take longer, but we’ll provide a clear timeline during your estimate.
Is polyjacking better than mudjacking?
Yes. Polyjacking is faster, cleaner, more lightweight, and offers longer-lasting results compared to traditional mudjacking
How soon can I use the concrete after lifting?
In most cases, you can walk or drive on the surface just 15–30 minutes after the polyjacking process is complete.
What types of surfaces can you lift or level?
We can lift driveways, sidewalks, patios, porches, pool decks, garage floors, foundations, and more—both residential and commercial.
Will lifting crack or damage the concrete further?
No. Our process is non-invasive and designed to strengthen and support existing concrete without causing new damage.
Do you seal cracks and joints after lifting?
Yes. We recommend crack and joint sealing to prevent future water intrusion and maintain long-term results.
What causes concrete to sink or become uneven?
Common causes include soil erosion, poor compaction, moisture changes, or underlying voids beneath the concrete surface.
What is void filling?
Void filling involves injecting foam beneath a slab to fill empty spaces and support the concrete, preventing further sinking or cracking.
Do you offer soil stabilization services?
Yes. We treat loose or shifting soils to provide a more stable base for concrete surfaces, preventing future settlement.
Is the polyurethane foam safe and environmentally friendly?
Absolutely. The foam is non-toxic, inert once cured, and environmentally safe for residential and commercial use.
How much does concrete lifting cost?
Pricing depends on the size, location, and condition of the area. We offer free estimates so you know exactly what to expect.
Is your work guaranteed?
Yes. We stand behind our work with warranties on both materials and workmanship. Details are provided with every job.
