Concrete Lifters

  • What services does Concrete Lifters provide?

    Concrete Lifters specializes in slab foundation leveling and stabilization services. We utilize advanced polyurethane foams to permanently lift and stabilize sunken concrete. Our expertise allows us to effectively manage the substantial weight of foundations, which typically average around 7.5 tons according to This Old House.
  • How does concrete lifting work?

    Concrete lifting addresses the issue of settled concrete, often caused by poor soil conditions beneath the slab. Our process involves injecting specialized polyurethane foams under the affected concrete. As these foams expand, they stabilize the soil and lift the concrete back into its proper position.
  • What are the benefits of concrete lifting compared to traditional concrete repair methods?

    Concrete lifting offers several advantages over traditional methods like mud jacking or adding more concrete. It generally provides a superior repair that is faster to implement, lighter on the existing structure, more durable, and often more cost-effective.
  • How long does the concrete lifting process take?

    The majority of our slab foundation leveling projects are completed within a single day. One of the key benefits of our method is that the repaired concrete can be used again within minutes after the work is finished.
  • Can concrete lifting fix all types of concrete surfaces?

    Our foam injection lifting method is primarily effective for repairing sagging concrete surfaces. However, it's important to note that this technique is not typically suitable for asphalt or paver surfaces.
  • Is concrete lifting an expensive service?

    Concrete leveling is often a more economical and efficient solution compared to complete concrete replacement. It provides a cost-effective option for addressing concrete issues.
