Excerpt:

Fixing uneven concrete in early fall is a smart move—cooler temperatures and shifting soil make minor issues worse. Foam lifting is fast, affordable, and ideal before winter sets in.

Why Fall Is the Best Time to Fix Uneven Concrete

Summer's wrapping up, and you're probably noticing those same uneven slabs that bugged you all season long. Maybe the driveway still has that awkward slope—or the front walkway just doesn’t feel safe anymore.



At Metro Concrete Lifting, we specialize in helping homeowners across New Jersey, Westchester, and the Lower Hudson Valley repair sinking, sloped, or cracked concrete before cooler weather makes it worse.

Fall in the Northeast brings:

  • Cooler nights and wider temperature swings
  • Soil shifts from dry summer conditions
  • Early frost, which can enter even small cracks and expand them quickly


If you ignore it, by November those little cracks and sunken spots can become dangerous—and more expensive to fix.


What We Do: Foam Lifting, No Demo Required

Our team uses polyurethane foam lifting to raise uneven slabs in just hours:

  • Drill small holes
  • Inject high-density foam
  • Slabs rise back into place
  • Holes patched, ready the same day

Don’t Wait for the First Freeze

Cold soil and frost can reduce foam performance. Plus, your availability for concrete lifting narrows as the season ends.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know if my concrete needs lifting or full replacement?

    If your driveway or walkway is uneven but structurally intact (not severely crumbled), it’s usually a great candidate for foam lifting. We assess the slab during your free estimate.

  • Is it too cold to lift concrete in the fall?

    Not yet—but time is limited. Foam lifting works best when the ground is still dry and temperatures are above freezing. That’s why early fall is ideal.

  • Will the lifted concrete stay level long term?

    Yes. Our polyurethane foam is waterproof, non-shrinking, and designed to last 10–20+ years, depending on conditions.

  • Can you lift just one slab or section of my walkway?

    Absolutely. We can lift just the affected portion without disturbing the rest of your concrete, saving you time and money.

  • How long does the process take?

    Most jobs are completed in just a few hours and ready for use the same day.
