Key Benefits of Concrete Leveling & Lifting
Uneven concrete can create trip hazards, affect drainage, and detract from your property’s appearance. We assess the slab and surrounding conditions before recommending polyurethane concrete leveling, also called poly lifting or polyjacking.
Keep suitable concrete in place
For suitable slabs, lifting can cost less and involve less demolition than replacement. Small injection holes allow polyurethane foam to fill voids beneath the concrete and raise settled areas.
A focused repair process
Concrete lifting can reduce debris and disruption compared with removing and replacing a slab. We explain access requirements and return-to-use timing for your project. Severely damaged concrete may need replacement.

Walk the problem with us
We look at the affected concrete, access, surrounding conditions, and whether lifting is suitable. Ask us about the cause, options, and limitations.
Review the proposed work
If a repair is appropriate, review the scope and estimate before deciding. Ask about access, timing, and the warranty that applies to your proposal.
Lift, then check
For approved poly lifting work, material is injected beneath the slab and the lift is monitored. The crew patches injection holes and explains when the area can be used.

Is leveling better than replacement?
Possibly. Slab condition, the extent of settlement, voids, and surrounding conditions matter. We’ll assess whether lifting is suitable and explain when another repair may be needed.
What is concrete leveling and lifting?
Poly lifting uses expanding polyurethane material beneath a slab to fill voids and help raise settled concrete. It is also called polyurethane concrete leveling or polyjacking.
What causes concrete to sink?
Poorly compacted soil, erosion, and water saturation can leave voids beneath a slab and lead to uneven settlement. We assess the surrounding conditions and discuss drainage concerns as part of the repair recommendation.
How long do concrete leveling results last?
Results depend on the condition of the slab, the supporting soil, drainage, and ongoing site conditions. Polyurethane lifting is intended as a lasting repair for suitable concrete. Addressing water runoff and erosion helps protect the work; ask what maintenance applies to your property.
What affects the price?
The size and number of affected slabs, amount of lift, material needed, access, and underlying conditions affect the scope. An onsite inspection provides the basis for a specific estimate.
Will lifting fix cracks or stop water problems?
Lifting addresses settled concrete. Existing cracks may remain, and drainage or soil conditions may need separate attention. Ask which concerns the proposed work will—and will not—address.
How long does it take for concrete to be usable again?
Access and return-to-use timing depend on the repair and site. The team will explain what to expect before work and confirm instructions afterward. The sped-up videos are demonstrations, not a promise of job duration.
What about financing and warranties?
Our concrete leveling and lifting work carries a five-year workmanship warranty. Ask for the written coverage and exclusions with your proposal. Hearth financing is available subject to eligibility and terms; our team can explain the current options.
