Concrete Leveling vs. Concrete Lifting

While many use these terms interchangeably, there's an important technical distinction

Concrete Leveling

Leveling focuses on making surfaces even and flat relative to surrounding areas. It's about smoothing transitions between slabs, eliminating trip hazards, and creating flush thresholds.

Best for:
  • Eliminating trip hazards
  • Smoothing walkway transitions
  • Fixing uneven thresholds

Concrete Lifting (This Service)

Lifting is about raising slabs to their original height to restore proper slope, drainage, and structural alignment. This is critical when settlement has affected drainage or created gaps.

Best for:
  • Restoring proper drainage
  • Fixing sloped driveways/patios
  • Closing gaps at foundations
  • Raising settled garage floors

The good news? Our polyurethane foam injection technology handles BOTH problems at once. We precisely raise and level your concrete in a single service call.

When Do You Need Concrete Lifting?

These situations require raising slabs back to their original height

🚗

Sloped Driveways

Your driveway now slopes toward your garage instead of away from it, allowing water to pool near your foundation or flow into your garage during rain.

💧

Drainage Problems

Settled patios or walkways create low spots where water collects instead of draining properly, leading to ice patches in winter and mosquito breeding in summer.

🏠

Foundation Gaps

Porches, patios, or stoops have pulled away from your house, creating visible gaps that allow water infiltration, pest entry, and structural stress.

🚪

Uneven Entry Steps

Settlement has caused your front or back steps to drop significantly below the door threshold, creating an awkward or dangerous step height.

🏊

Sunken Pool Decks

The concrete around your pool has settled, creating trip hazards and causing water to drain incorrectly—potentially undermining the pool structure itself.

🅿️

Tilted Garage Floors

Interior garage slabs have settled and now slope improperly, causing vehicles, equipment, and stored items to roll or become unstable.

Why Polyurethane Foam Lifting Works Better

Traditional mudjacking uses heavy cement slurry. Our polyurethane foam technology is superior in every way.

⚖️

Lightweight

Polyurethane foam weighs just 2-4 lbs per cubic foot vs. 100+ lbs for cement slurry. Won't add stress to already weak soil.

💪

Stronger

High-density foam resists compression better than cement, providing permanent support that won't crack or wash out.

🎯

Precise

We control foam expansion in real-time, lifting to within 1/8" of target height. No guesswork or over-lifting.

⏱️

Fast

Cures in 15 minutes. Walk or drive on it immediately after we finish. No waiting days for cement to cure.

💧

Waterproof

Closed-cell foam won't absorb water, erode, or wash out like cement slurry—even in Alabama's heavy rains.

🌱

Eco-Friendly

Inert and non-toxic. Won't leach chemicals into soil or groundwater. Safe for landscaping and foundations.

The Bottom Line

Polyurethane foam lifting costs about the same as traditional mudjacking but delivers superior results that last decades—with less disruption, faster completion, and no risk of future settlement.

How Concrete Lifting Works

From assessment to completion—precision lifting in just a few hours

1

Precise Measurement

We use laser levels to measure exactly how much your slab has settled and determine the precise lift required to restore original height.

2

Strategic Drilling

Using cutting-edge equipment, we drill 3/8" holes—nearly 40% smaller than the industry standard—at calculated positions based on slab size and settlement pattern.

3

Controlled Injection

High-density polyurethane foam is injected beneath the slab. As it expands, we monitor and control the lift in real-time for precision accuracy.

4

Final Verification

We verify the slab is at proper height, patch injection holes to match existing concrete, and clean the work area. Ready to use in 15 minutes.

Concrete Lifting FAQs

How much can you lift concrete?

We can typically lift slabs up to 6-8 inches, though most residential projects involve 1-3 inches of lift. There are practical limits based on slab condition and surrounding constraints, which we'll assess during your free inspection.

What does concrete lifting cost?

Typical residential projects range from $700-$4,000 depending on square footage, lift height, and accessibility. We provide free estimates with transparent pricing. You'll know exactly what it costs before we start—no surprises.

Will lifting crack my concrete?

When done correctly with proper technique and equipment, lifting doesn't cause cracking. However, severely damaged or thin concrete may have pre-existing weaknesses. We'll assess your slab's condition during inspection and advise if replacement is a better option.

How long does lifted concrete last?

When proper soil stabilization is achieved, polyurethane foam lifts last for decades. Our foam is waterproof, won't deteriorate, and resists compression indefinitely. We back this with a 5-year warranty for your peace of mind.

Can I lift concrete myself?

DIY concrete lifting is not recommended. Proper lifting requires specialized equipment, technical knowledge of foam chemistry, and experience controlling expansion rates. Mistakes can result in over-lifting, cracked slabs, or wasted materials that cost more to fix than hiring professionals.

What about future settlement?

Polyurethane foam fills voids AND stabilizes soil, preventing future settlement in the treated area. However, if underlying causes (like poor drainage or active erosion) aren't addressed, untreated areas may settle. We'll identify and discuss any additional measures needed during your inspection.
