Why SPF Concrete Lifting is the Smart Solution for Concrete Repair and Levelling | Peace River Alberta

Concrete surfaces take a beating over time. Sidewalks, driveways, patios and warehouse floors can all settle, sink or crack due to moisture changes, shifting soil or simple wear and tear. When this happens, many property owners worry that the only answer is costly demolition and replacement. Thankfully, there is a faster, more affordable option: slab jacking. 

At Fusion Foam, we specialize in professional slab jacking services that restore your concrete surfaces quickly and efficiently. Slab jacking lifts and levels existing concrete slabs using high-density foam, saving you money and downtime compared to a full replacement. It is an ideal solution for residential, commercial and industrial projects alike. 

Slab jacking works by injecting expanding foam through small, strategic holes drilled in the concrete. The foam flows underneath the slab, filling voids and lifting the concrete back to its original position. This method is less invasive and much faster than traditional tear-out and pour methods, meaning you can often use your surface again within hours, not days.

One of the biggest benefits of slab jacking is the minimal disruption it causes. Homeowners appreciate that landscaping, driveways and patios stay intact. Business owners benefit from reduced downtime for warehouses, storefronts and service areas. Foam slab jacking extends the life of existing materials rather than sending tonnes of concrete to the landfill. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, using restoration techniques can significantly reduce construction waste and environmental impact.

Another advantage is the durability of polyurethane foam. Unlike mudjacking, which uses heavy, water-based grout that can erode over time, the foam used in slab jacking is waterproof, stable and designed to last for decades. This makes it an excellent investment for anyone seeking a long-term solution to uneven or sunken concrete. 

Spring and early summer are perfect times for slab jacking. As the ground thaws and settles, more issues become visible. Cracks widen, trip hazards appear and puddles form in driveways or walkways. Acting now prevents further damage and avoids more expensive repairs down the line. 

Choosing slab jacking also improves safety and accessibility. Uneven walkways are a leading cause of trips and falls, particularly for seniors and children. Driveways and garage floors with significant dips can cause vehicle damage or drainage issues. Slab jacking restores surfaces to their proper grade, enhancing both appearance and safety without the cost and inconvenience of replacement. 

When you are considering concrete repair, it is important to work with experienced professionals.

What is slab jacking, and how does it work? 

Slab jacking, also known as polyjacking or foam lifting, is a concrete repair technique that involves injecting high-density polyurethane foam beneath a sunken concrete slab. The foam expands, filling voids and lifting the slab back to its original position. This method is less invasive and more cost-effective than full slab replacement.  

How long does the slab jacking process take? 

The duration depends on the size and complexity of the project. However, most residential slab jacking jobs are completed within a few hours. The repaired area is typically ready for use shortly after the process is finished.  

Is slab jacking a permanent solution? 

Yes, when performed correctly, slab jacking provides a long-lasting repair. The polyurethane foam used is durable and resistant to moisture, ensuring the stability of the lifted slab for many years.  

Will the injection holes be noticeable after the repair? 

The holes drilled for foam injection are relatively small, typically around 5/8 inch in diameter. After the process, these holes are filled and patched with a material that closely matches the existing concrete, making them only minimally visible.  

Can all types of concrete slabs be lifted using slab jacking? 

Most sunken concrete slabs can be effectively lifted using slab jacking. However, slabs that are severely cracked, crumbling, or have other structural issues may not be suitable candidates. A professional assessment is recommended to determine the best repair approach.  

How does slab jacking compare to traditional mudjacking? 

While both methods aim to lift sunken concrete, slab jacking uses lightweight polyurethane foam, resulting in smaller injection holes and a quicker curing time. In contrast, mudjacking utilizes a heavier cement-based mixture, which may require larger holes and longer curing periods.
