Concrete Lifting & Leveling
What is Concrete Lifting & Leveling?
Concrete lifting and leveling is a trenchless repair method used to restore sunken or uneven slabs to their original elevation. Expanding structural polymers are injected beneath the slab, filling voids, compacting soils, and providing stable long-term support without demolition or replacement.
Problems Solved
- Uneven or sunken slabs create trip hazards
- Settlement causes ADA non-compliance in walkways and public spaces
- Faulted joints reduce safety and service life in pavements
- Erosion or voids undermine concrete foundations and floors
- Replacement is costly, disruptive, and time consuming
Types of Polymers Used
High-Density Polyurethane Foams
- Lightweight expanding material for slab lifting and alignment
- Provides precise elevation control without adding soil load
- Stabilizes soils while eliminating voids beneath concrete
Structural Polyurethane Resins
- Engineered for soil densification and load transfer
- Restores bearing capacity in weak or loose soils
- Extends the service life of pavements and foundations
Hydro-Insensitive Polymers
- Expands and cures reliably in wet or saturated soils
- Effective for groundwater control and leak sealing
- Maintains performance in challenging site conditions
Benefits of Concrete Lifting & Leveling
Concrete lifting and leveling provides a permanent solution to uneven slabs without the disruption of replacement. The process improves safety, restores compliance, and ensures long-term stability for critical assets across multiple industries.
Safe, Precise, and Long-Lasting Results
- Eliminates trip hazards and improves public safety
- Lightweight polymers won’t overload weak soils
- Quick return to service — often within 30 minutes
- Long-term durability compared to mudjacking or replacement
Key Applications
Sidewalks & Walkways
Restores pedestrian areas to safe, even conditions and eliminates ADA trip hazards
Parking Lots & Drive Lanes
Levels settled pavement sections, improves drainage, and prevents further deterioration
Warehouse & Industrial Floors
Corrects slab settlement in high-traffic areas, ensuring smooth operation for forklifts and equipment
Airport Pavements
Stabilizes and realigns taxiways, aprons, and hangars with minimal downtime
Bridge Approaches & Roadway Dips
Restores smooth transitions at approaches to improve safety and extend pavement life
Precast Panel Alignment
Realigns faulted or misaligned panels for better load transfer and surface performance
Industries We Serve
Concrete lifting and leveling supports safe and reliable infrastructure across public, private, and industrial sectors. From municipal sidewalks to airport pavements and industrial floors, this process provides a cost-effective alternative to replacement that minimizes disruption and extends service life.

How Our Process Works
1
Investigation
Site conditions assessed with visual inspection, surveys, and DCP testing
2
Planning
Injection locations and sequencing are designed based on slab type and soil profile
3
Access
Small-diameter ports drilled into the slab at strategic locations
4
Injection
Expanding polymers are placed in controlled lifts, filling voids and lifting slabs gradually
5
Monitoring
Laser levels and elevation surveys confirm uniform lift and slab stability
6
Validation
Final checks ensure alignment, stability, and readiness for immediate return to service
