Professional Concrete Lifting Services
At United Structural Systems, we provide efficient concrete lifting services designed to raise settled slabs back to an optimal functional level. Our process uses high-density polyurethane foam injections to fill underlying voids, quickly and affordably stabilizing driveways, sidewalks, patios, and garage floors.
This non-demolition approach eliminates the hassle, mess, and high costs of full concrete replacement while letting you walk or drive on the restored surface within minutes of completion.
Signs Your Concrete Needs Lifting
Recognizing these early physical indicators can help you identify when slabs are no longer receiving uniform support from the ground below.
What Causes Concrete Slabs to Sink?
Concrete slabs rely entirely on consistent support from the underlying soil. Over time, heavy rainfall, seasonal weather shifts, and local drainage patterns can contribute to natural soil movement and erosion beneath walkways, driveways, or patios. As water carries loose soil away, empty spaces form under the concrete, leaving portions of the slab unsupported.
Soil that was not fully compacted during original construction can also naturally settle over time under the slab's weight. When the supporting ground shifts, gravity can cause unsupported concrete sections to dip downward.
Our Polyurethane Concrete Lifting Process
Our team uses an efficient, four-step approach to restore support beneath settled slabs without requiring demolition or major upheaval around your property.
- Inspection. USS evaluates the site to map void locations and determine precise injection points. This step identifies the underlying cause of settlement so we can apply the most effective solution.
- Access. We drill small, nickel-sized holes through the affected concrete slab. This minimally invasive step preserves the surrounding landscape and surface layout.
- Injection. High-density expansion foam is injected beneath the slab to fill subterranean voids. As the material expands, it performs precision slab lifting to return the surface to its optimal functional position.
- Patching: The small access holes are filled with durable grout, leaving a clean finish. The lightweight foam cures within minutes, allowing you to walk or drive on the surface almost immediately.
Concrete Surfaces We Lift and Level
Our advanced repair process works on virtually any residential concrete surface, both exterior and interior, including driveways, sidewalks, garage floors, patios, pool decks, and entry steps. While the industry often uses the term concrete leveling, our primary goal is concrete lifting to bring settled slabs back to their optimal level, helping prevent water collection and uneven transitions.
Choosing high-quality concrete leveling services preserves your property's overall curb appeal while saving you the time, mess, and expense of tearing out old concrete. To help make the costs of qualifying repair projects manageable, USS provides flexible financing options tailored to your budget.
