Concrete Lifting & Concrete Leveling
Lift sunken driveways, sidewalks, patios and garage floors using polyurethane foam injection.
Concrete lifting is the fastest and most cost-effective way to repair sunken concrete slabs. Using polyurethane foam injection, settled driveways, sidewalks, patios, and garage floors can be lifted back to their original position.
Sunken or uneven concrete is a common problem for homeowners and businesses across Minnesota and Wisconsin. Over time, soil erosion, freeze-thaw cycles, and poor compaction can cause concrete slabs to settle, creating dangerous tripping hazards and costly structural issues.
Our concrete leveling process restores driveways, sidewalks, patios, garage floors, and commercial slabs quickly—often in just a few hours.
What Is Concrete Lifting?
Concrete lifting, also known as concrete leveling, slab jacking, or polyjacking, is a process that raises sunken concrete back to its original position.
Instead of tearing out and replacing the slab, our technicians drill small 3/8″ holes and inject material underneath the concrete. This material fills voids in the soil and gently lifts the slab back into place.
Modern concrete lifting uses high‑density polyurethane foam which expands to fill gaps and stabilize the soil beneath the slab.
Why Concrete Sinks
When soil beneath a slab weakens or washes away, the concrete loses support and begins to settle or crack.
Polyurethane Foam Injection
Polyurethane foam concrete lifting is the most advanced leveling method available today.
The process includes:
1. Small 3/8″ holes drilled in the concrete slab
2. Injection of structural polyurethane foam beneath the slab
3. Foam expands to fill voids, compact soil, and lift concrete
4. Holes are patched
Benefits include:
• Lightweight material that won’t add stress to soil
• Water resistant and long lasting
• Fast cure time (ready same day)
• Minimal disruption to landscaping
• Smaller drill holes compared to mudjacking
Concrete Lifting vs Replacement
Many homeowners assume sunken concrete must be replaced. In reality, replacement is often unnecessary.
Concrete lifting advantages:
• Up to 80% cheaper than replacement
• Completed in hours instead of days
• No demolition required
• Minimal mess or disruption
• Longer-lasting stabilization of underlying soil
Concrete Lifting
• Quick Process
• Affordable
• Clean Jobsite
• Long Lasting Results
Concrete Replacement
• Days of Disruption
• Higher Price
• Color matching issues
• Messy demolition
Replacement may still be required if concrete is severely broken, but most settled slabs can be successfully lifted and repaired.
Driveways are one of the most common areas where concrete settles. Sunken driveways can damage vehicles and create drainage problems. Polyurethane foam lifting restores the driveway surface quickly while reinforcing the soil underneath.
Uneven sidewalks are not only unattractive—they are also serious trip hazards. Municipalities and property owners are often responsible for maintaining safe sidewalks.
Concrete lifting restores sidewalks to safe, even surfaces without tearing out existing concrete.
Patios often settle due to soil movement and poor drainage. Lifting the patio restores outdoor living spaces and prevents water pooling near foundations.
Garage slabs can settle near foundations or entrances, creating uneven floors and water intrusion.
Concrete lifting raises the slab back into position while stabilizing the soil below.
How Much Does Concrete Lifting Cost?
Concrete leveling costs vary depending on slab size, soil conditions, and severity of settlement. However, polyurethane concrete lifting is typically far more affordable than full replacement.
Most projects are significantly cheaper and faster than removing and repouring concrete.
