Foam Concrete Lifting for Driveways, Sidewalks, Basements & More

Foam concrete lifting is a fast, affordable way to raise and level sunken slabs—ideal for driveways, sidewalks, patios, and even basement floors. Using high-density polyurethane foam, we restore safety and appearance without demolition. Most jobs are done in hours, not days.

Cracked, Sunken Concrete? We Know the Feeling...

What Is Foam Concrete Lifting?

Foam lifting (also called polyurethane slab jacking) uses an expanding foam to gently and precisely raise your sunken concrete back into position.

Here’s how it works:

1. Tiny holes are drilled into the slab
2. Foam is injected underneath
3. The foam expands and lifts the slab in real time
4. Holes are patched, and your surface is ready in minutes

Where Foam Lifting Works Best

Let’s talk about the areas where this solution can make the biggest difference—and prevent the most damage.

Driveways

Uneven driveways are one of the top complaints we hear.

You may notice:

• Sinking where the driveway meets the garage
• Cracks spreading from the middle
• Water pooling after every rain

All of these are signs that the soil beneath your slab is settling—and it won’t fix itself. Foam lifting restores your driveway’s level, protects your car, and improves curb appeal in just a few hours.

Sidewalks & Walkways

Sidewalks are one of the biggest trip hazards on your property.

Sunken sections can lead to:

• Injuries
• Legal liability
• Municipal code violations

Foam leveling fixes walkways without tearing them out—making it perfect for front entries, walkways to the backyard, or even shared sidewalks along the street.

Garage & Basement Floors

Have you noticed:

• A slope in the garage floor?
• That the basement slab dips in the middle?
• Cracks widening near the walls?

Those are signs of voids forming under your slab. Foam can fill these voids, lift the concrete, and stabilize the foundation—without ripping up the entire floor.

Yes, foam lifting can be done inside basements. It’s safe, clean, and leaves no residue or fumes.

Patios, Pool Decks & Stairs

Outdoor concrete takes a beating—especially with freeze/thaw cycles in NJ and NY.

We’ve used foam lifting to fix:

• Sinking patio corners
• Sunken pool deck slabs
• Uneven front steps
• Detached slabs that pose a fall risk

Foam lifting is ideal for decorative or stamped concrete, where traditional mudjacking or full replacement would ruin the look.

Foam Lifting vs Concrete Replacement

Here’s the truth:
Concrete replacement is expensive, messy, and disruptive.

In most residential cases, it’s just not necessary.

If your concrete is in one piece and sinking—lift it. Don’t replace it.
