Lifting Process

You can have perfectly aligned concrete in just a few steps — and in only a few hours.

At Atlas Concrete Lifting, we use specially formulated polyurethane foam that is permanent, weighs approximately 2lbs per cubic foot, and never loses its density. The injection process is cost-effective and efficient, and you can use your concrete surface immediately upon completion of the process.

Drilling holes in concrete to prepare the concrete for lifting via foam injection

STEP 1

Drill

We strategically drill 5/8” holes in the surface to be lifted. These holes are less than half the diameter of those used in traditional mudjacking, resulting in less patchwork upon completion of the lifting process.

STEP 2

Pump

Polyurethane foam is injected through the prepared holes and under the concrete to be lifted. This two-part foam mixture combines and expands to fill the void under the concrete. As the foam expands, the resulting pressure lifts the concrete back to its original position.

After concrete lifting, the drill holes in the concrete are filled/patched, like on this sidewalk.

STEP 3

Patch

When the concrete is leveled and stabilized, the injection holes are filled with new cement, returning the concrete surface to its original state. Your newly-raised concrete is ready to use!
