Concrete Lifting Process

How We Lift Settled Concrete Without Costly Replacement

If your driveway, sidewalk, patio, garage floor, warehouse floor, or other concrete surface has started to sink, replacement is often not necessary. In many cases, settled concrete can be lifted, stabilized, and restored at a fraction of the cost and disruption of removing and replacing it.

At Jacksonville Contracting, we’ve been helping Maryland homeowners, businesses, contractors, and municipalities repair settled concrete since 1973. Whether your project requires traditional mudjacking or modern polyurethane foam lifting, our goal is the same: stabilize the underlying problem and restore the concrete to a safer, more functional condition.

Every project is different. Soil conditions, slab thickness, voids, drainage issues, and structural requirements all play a role in determining the best repair approach. That’s why our team evaluates each project individually and recommends the solution that makes the most sense for your property.

Our Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1: Drill Small Access Holes

The first step is creating access to the area beneath the slab.

Small, strategically placed holes are drilled through the concrete so our team can reach the voids and weak soils below. These holes allow us to inject the appropriate lifting material directly where support is needed.

Because the holes are relatively small, there is far less disruption compared to complete concrete replacement.

Step 2: Pump & Stabilize

Once access has been established, we begin the lifting process.

Depending on the project requirements, we may use:

  • Traditional mudjacking material
  • Polyurethane foam
  • Specialized grouting materials

Material is carefully pumped beneath the slab to:

  • Fill voids
  • Stabilize weak soils
  • Restore support
  • Lift settled concrete

Our experienced crews closely monitor the lifting process to achieve the desired results while maintaining proper drainage and functionality.

Because Jacksonville Contracting offers both mudjacking and polyurethane solutions, we can recommend the method that best fits your specific project rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.

Step 3: Patch & Finish

After the concrete has been stabilized and lifted, the access holes are patched and the work area is cleaned.

Most concrete lifting projects can be completed quickly, allowing property owners to avoid the noise, mess, and inconvenience associated with concrete replacement.

The finished result is a safer, more stable surface that is ready for continued use.

Mudjacking vs Polyurethane Foam Lifting

Jacksonville Contracting offers both traditional mudjacking and polyurethane foam lifting.

Mudjacking

Mudjacking uses a cement-based material pumped beneath the slab to fill voids and restore support.

Benefits include:

  • Proven repair method
  • Effective for many residential and commercial projects
  • Cost-effective solution
  • Long history of performance

Polyurethane Foam Lifting

Polyurethane foam lifting uses expanding foam to lift and stabilize concrete.

Benefits include:

  • Lightweight material
  • Fast curing times
  • Excellent void filling capabilities
  • Minimal water absorption

Because every project is different, our team evaluates the conditions and recommends the best solution based on the slab, soil conditions, and long-term performance goals.
