Concrete Lifting & Leveling

     When concrete around your home begins to sink, tilt, or separate, it becomes a safety concern and affects both drainage and curb appeal. Many homeowners assume replacement is the only option, but polyurethane concrete lifting offers a cleaner, faster, and longer-lasting solution. Using precise injection techniques, we lift and stabilize settling slabs without the mess or downtime of mudjacking or replacement. Our method strengthens the soil beneath your concrete while restoring a smooth, level surface that lasts.

Over time, soil erosion, freeze–thaw cycles, poor original compaction, and water movement can cause concrete to settle unevenly. Our polyurethane lifting system targets the underlying cause by stabilizing weak soils and filling hidden voids before gently raising the slab back into position. This structural-grade foam expands into every gap even filling horizontally, creating a uniform support layer that won’t wash out, break down, or add unnecessary weight like traditional mudjacking material.

   

     This service is ideal for driveways, sidewalks, garage floors, patios, pool decks, basement slabs, steps, and entry approaches. Because the foam is lightweight and waterproof, it helps prevent future settlement and performs exceptionally well in Wisconsin’s climate.


Some of the most common residential applications include:
• Driveways and approach slabs
• Sidewalks and walkways
• Garage and basement floors

    

     Homeowners often choose foam lifting over mudjacking because it provides a cleaner appearance, smaller injection holes, much longer service life and faster results. The waterproof foam expands with incredible lifting strength while adding virtually no weight to the soil. This helps ensure the repaired area stays level and stable for many years.


Key benefits include:
• Immediate return to use
• Minimal drilling and a clean finish
• Lightweight material that won’t contribute to future sinking
• Long-lasting, environmentally stable foam that resists moisture

 

     Our process begins with a detailed inspection of the slab and underlying soils. Small injection points are drilled through the concrete, and our expanding polyurethane is injected below the slab. As it expands, the foam fills empty voids, compresses weak soils, and gently lifts the slab back into place. After leveling is complete, the access points are sealed for a smooth finish. Most projects take only a few hours, allowing you to use your repaired surface the same day.

      As a professional concrete lifting and soil stabilization contractor, we understand how different soil types, climates, and environmental conditions affect concrete performance across various regions. Whether your project is local or out of state, our team brings the same level of precision, high-quality materials, and honest evaluations to every job. If a slab is too damaged to salvage, we’ll tell you. Our commitment is to long-term stability, engineered solutions, and doing the job right — wherever the work takes us.

Concrete Lifting & Leveling — Frequently Asked Questions

 

1. How does polyurethane foam lifting work?

     Polyurethane foam is injected through small access points beneath the slab. As the foam expands, it fills voids, compacts weak soil, and gently raises the concrete back to a level position. It cures within minutes, creating a stable, long-lasting support base.


2. How long does concrete lifting take?

     Most projects take one to two hours depending on the size and number of slabs. Because the foam cures quickly, the surface can usually be used immediately after the repair.


3. Is foam lifting better than mudjacking?

     Yes. Foam lifting is cleaner, more precise, and far more durable. Polyurethane is lightweight and waterproof, so it won’t wash out or add extra weight to failing soils. Mudjacking uses a heavy slurry that often causes repeat settlement over time.


4. Will the foam break down over time?

     No. Structural polyurethane foam is a closed-cell material that does not absorb water, shrink, decompose, or weaken. It is engineered to remain stable for decades and performs exceptionally well in freeze–thaw environments.


5. What causes concrete slabs to sink in the first place?

     Concrete typically sinks because of poor soil compaction, erosion from water drainage, freeze–thaw cycles, rodent tunneling, or gradual soil settlement. When the soil loses strength or volume, the concrete above begins to settle.


6. How soon can I use my driveway or sidewalk after lifting?

     Almost immediately. The foam reaches full strength within minutes, allowing homeowners to walk or drive on the repaired slab the same day.


7. Can you lift concrete that is cracked?

     Yes. As long as the slab is still structurally sound and the cracked pieces can move together, lifting is effective. If the slab is severely broken or deteriorated, replacement may be recommended, and we provide honest evaluations.


8. How large are the drill holes used for injection?

     Foam lifting requires very small injection points, typically around 5/8 of an inch—much smaller and less noticeable than mudjacking holes, which can be 1.5 to 2 inches wide.


9. Is polyurethane foam environmentally safe?

     Yes. The foam is an inert, closed-cell material that does not leach chemicals into soil or groundwater. It is approved for residential, commercial, and municipal use and is widely used by DOTs.


10. Do you travel outside Wisconsin for concrete lifting projects?

     Yes. While based in Wisconsin, we frequently complete lifting and stabilization projects in Florida and other states for homeowners, contractors, and municipalities that require advanced lifting solutions.
