Frequently Answered Questions

Concrete raising is normally about half the cost or less, of replacing concrete. In general terms, concrete raising can cost between $2-$5 per square foot. This is why we offer FREE Estimates, so our experienced staff can provide you with an accurate estimate for completing your specific project.

Solid slabs of concrete can be raise and stabilized. Gravel areas or blacktop are unable to be repaired, and need to be replaced or re-installed to remedy settling issues. Slabs of concrete that are badly cracked may also be too damaged to lift. We LIFT IT ALL! Sidewalks, Driveways, Pool Decks, Footings, Patios, Garage floors, Basement floors, Office floors, Warehouse floors, Highways, Bridge Approaches, Seawall Repair, and Voids. If you are not sure if your concrete can be raised, call us for a Free Estimate. Raising settled concrete can be half the cost of replacing it with less damage to your landscaping and downtime. Our expert estimators will be able to assess and provide you with an accurate, FREE estimate for your project.

After the concrete is raised with polyurathane material, a foam plug is inserted into the hole, and the hole is patched over with cement. The concrete is ready for use immediately. However, it is recommended to allow the patch material to set-up before use, typically a couple of hours. When concrete is raised with polyurethane foam (FoamJacking), these plugs are not used. The material used for raising the slab replaces the inserted foam plug as a shock absorber.

Polyurethane foam concrete raising material is injected as a liquid that sets-up as a rigid foam. This foam will NEVER loose density or shrink. This material is lighter than traditional mudjacking material, and requires less holes to install. Even better, the holes are smaller creating a virtually invisible repair!

Both methods of concrete lifting will achieve the same results. Mudjacking concrete leveling and polyurethane concrete raising will raise and support sunken or unstable concrete slabs by drilling holes and pumping material under the slab. Material Settled concrete is commonly a result of poor soil conditions beneath a slab. Polyurethane has become a popular repair method because the material is so lightweight compared to traditional mudjacking material, it will not further burden the already weak soil. Mudjacking uses a sand based material that is infused with Portland cement. This slurry is hydraulically pumped under the slab to fill voids and raise the concrete. Mudjacking material weighs on average 100 lbs per cubic foot. Polyurethane Concrete Raising uses a foam material that is injected under the slab. When the components of this material are mixed, a reaction causes the material to expand. This expanded foam fills any voids beneath the slab and raises concrete. This material will never lose density, is permanent and weighs only about 2 lbs. per cubic foot. Hole Size? After the slab has been raised, the only visible evidence that the concrete has been repaired are the holes. For this reason, polyurethane has gained HUGE popularity because of the nearly invisible 5/8″ holes that remain after the job is completed. Mudjacking involves drilling a series of 1″ holes in a slab of concrete, so the material can be pumped under the settled slab. Polyurethane concrete raising drills a nearly invisible 3/8 or 5/8″ hole and the process calls for considerably fewer holes than traditional mudjacking. Investment / Cost Concrete raising is typically half the cost of replacing your concrete slab. When large voids are present, this can increase the cost of the repair. While polyurethane material is more expensive than mudjacking material, the smaller hole size, lighter material weight, and fewer injection holes, make the investment in polyurethane over mudjacking well worth it.

Concrete lifting comes with a 1-year warranty. Unless our seam sealing is purchased then we offer a 2-year warranty.
