CONCRETE LIFTING AND LEVELING
CONCRETE LIFTING AND LEVELING
Concrete Lifting and Leveling is the process of correcting uneven, sunken, or settled concrete surfaces, restoring them to their original position and appearance. It is a common solution for addressing issues like sunken driveways, sidewalks, patios, garage floors, and even building foundations. This process helps prevent further damage, reduces safety risks, and improves the aesthetic value of concrete surfaces.
You own a property that has a cracking, sinking or uneven concrete surface. You don’t know what to do
We as professionals recommend CONCRETE LIFTING AND LEVELING to solve these problems because it is a safe and less expensive process than replacing the entire affected area.
When we talk about CONCRETE LIFTING AND LEVELING, we refer to the process of raising and leveling concrete, that is, a process used to correct sunken, cracked or uneven surfaces in sidewalks, driveways, patios, floors and other concrete structures. Over time, soils can settle due to erosion, improper compaction or moisture, causing safety and functional problems.
There are different methods to perform this process, the most well known beign:
-
Mudjacking or “Mudjacking”.
This traditional method consists of injecting a mixture of cement, sand and water under the affected concrete slab to lift it to its original position.
Advantages:
- Inexpensive compared to reconstruction.
- Relatively fast process.
- Durable material.
- Polyurethane Foam Elevation
This modern method uses a high-density polyurethane foam that is injected through small holes in the concrete. The foam expands and lifts the slab to the desired level.
Advantages:
- Fast process with minimal curing times.
- Lighter than slurry, reducing the load on the floor.
- Waterproof and erosion resistant.
For those cases in wich the damage has been very deep, it is advisable to replace the concrete by demolition and reconstruction of the structure.
