Do you have issue spots in your driveway, sidewalk, walkway, concrete stairs, or patio where sunken concrete has created uneven surfaces, trip hazards, pooling water, or huge cracks to appear in the concrete?
It’s possible that you’re considering having concrete lifting done in Calgary as a solution to such problems. However, how long will it be until you are permitted to utilize the space again? Let’s find out.
In Calgary, conditions in which the exterior concrete has already started to sink is not unusual. This is often the consequence of fresh concrete being poured over recently disturbed soil surrounding the residence during construction, which may be a prevalent cause of these conditions. This sandy soil will eventually get compacted, and when it does so, it will often leave a space under the concrete slab. Erosion of the soil is another typical factor that may lead to the formation of voids. The concrete will eventually develop cracks and joints, which will allow water to seep through and eventually wash away the soil below.
Traditional methods of addressing these issues include concrete replacement and mudjacking, both of which are efficient ways to solve these concerns. However, if your issue may benefit from an advanced solution, it may be in your best interest to pursue that course of action.
The PolyLevel Injection System offered by FOAMEXperts is a cutting-edge solution for the rehabilitation of concrete that has been sunk. To raise and level concrete slabs to the proper height, PolyLevel makes use of a high density polyurethane as opposed to the method known as “Mud Jacking,” which involves utilizing a combination of concrete and mud.
Before we get into more details, what is concrete lifting? Concrete lifting, sometimes referred to as foam-jacking, is the process of filling the space under the slab of concrete that is causing it to sink. This gap is the cause of the slab of concrete sinking. The concrete is perforated with a number of tiny holes. After that, an injection of polyurethane foam is made to fill the space, which simultaneously elevates the concrete to make it level again. After that, the holes are patched up such that they are undetectable. After then, the concrete will reach its final state of stability.

The whole process of raising concrete normally takes a few hours to accomplish, beginning to end. If you wanted to completely redo your driveway, you would have to start by removing the existing concrete, installing the new concrete, and then waiting for it to dry. The whole process may take several days or weeks. After the concrete lifting process is finished, you will be able to walk on the surface instantly and park your vehicle on your driveway within 15 minutes after the completion of the operation. That’s how quick the process is.
The cost of elevating concrete is far lower than the expense of completely replacing the concrete. The quantity of polyurethane product that must be used for this particular task, in addition to the length of time that the contractors must put in to complete it, will decide how much you will have to pay. If you have numerous places that require raising, the total cost will be more than if you only had one small area lifted, but it will still be far less expensive than installing brand new concrete.
