These guys were professional. Explained what they were going to do and. They kept us i formed through the project.

Concrete Lifting FAQs

Common problem signs indicating that your concrete may need to be lifted and repaired include cracks, heaving or sinking areas, or visible gaps between slabs. Unevenness can cause safety concerns, such as tripping hazards, and can also negatively impact the aesthetics of your property.

Cracks in concrete slabs can significantly detract from the appearance of your property, lowering its curb appeal and potentially its value. More importantly, these cracks can evolve into serious safety issues like tripping hazards if left unaddressed.

PolyRenewal™ concrete lifting is a lasting solution for uneven, sinking concrete. The eco-friendly polyurethane foam gently lifts slabs, fills gaps, and stabilizes the soil beneath, providing a reliable and lasting solution for your home. 

Disclaimer: “Concrete leveling” means the process by which cracked, uneven concrete is stabilized, and in many cases lifted, by means of PolyRenewal™ polyurethane foam. Groundworks does not guarantee that PolyRenewal™ can make your concrete perfectly level.
