Concrete Lifting Intro
Almost all concrete driveways and walkways will eventually sink over time. This can be due to excess water, improper compaction and simply the weight of the cement. This produces uneven concrete which causes a tripping hazard, creates an unaesthetic curb appeal and can cause potential water damage as uneven concrete can direct water towards the building’s foundation.
You have 2 Options
Replace the Existing Concrete
- Very expensive
- Requires demolition of existing concrete
- Creates excess waste and mess
Raise and Level Existing Concrete
- Less than half the price of replacement
- Can be done in one day
- Creates little or no mess and is environmentally sound
INTERESTING FACT:
Within Canada, many heavily used highways are made of 18″ thick cement. When needed, a polyurethane system is most often used to repair and lift those highways. This is the same system and materials used by Concrete Experts!
The Benefit of Polyurethane
Concrete Lifting has many names including mudjacking, slabjacking, and polyurethane concrete lifting. Different methods can be used, but Concrete Experts uses the latest polyurethane technology that is faster, stronger, and can be done with much less intrusion into the concrete than with traditional mudjacking. Here are some of the many benefits:
- In order to lift the concrete, small holes must be drilled into the existing cement in order to pump the material beneath. With mudjacking, the holes can be almost 2 inches in diameter. Our polyurethane system requires much fewer holes that are only 5/8 of an inch and can be spaced much further apart.
- Polyurethane foam is waterproof, preventing further damage. It is incredibly strong and durable, yet light-weight which can help to prevent sinking problems in the future.
- Polyurethane is pumped beneath the concrete in liquid form and is, therefore, able to spread further and more fully to fill the void. This also allows us to lift the concrete more evenly as opposed to mudjacking which lifts from one point. This means the likelihood of concrete cracking is much less.
- Polyurethane will not expand or contract. The more traditional mudjacking uses a slurry mixture which is water absorptive, meaning that when water is in the ground and it freezes it can displace the soil creating voids. With polyurethane in the ground, there will be less movement of the ground during extreme temperature change. (Chinooks) This creates a more stable environment for your concrete and means there will be less cracking and a longer lifetime generally for your concrete.

There may be some circumstances where the concrete cannot be lifted and therefore replacement would be necessary. Concrete Experts is trained and experienced in both lifting and replacing and can provide an estimate for either service.

Bryan and his team, Mitch and Mike, did work for me in October lifting the level of my garage floor, as well as some concrete patching. From the beginning, Bryan was very professional. When he came to assess my situation he spent a lot of time answering my questions, and continued to do so in subsequent phone calls. I was impressed by his integrity as he did not push for the job, reassuring me that nothing horrible would happen to my foundations (my big fear!) if I left things as they were. Unlike many of his competitors, he e-mailed me a written estimate right there on the spot at a competitive price. He honoured this quote at job completion. He and his team did not appear to rush as they worked around various complications, and worked with me patiently and cooperatively in patching my concrete porch, following my detailed instructions. I would recommend Bryan and his professional congenial team anytime!.read more

Concrete Experts were excellent in every way and I'm already planning to hire them for more work next year. I am thrilled with the end result of the foam jacking job... they got all of my concrete slabs back to level and up to original height, at a very competitive price compared to the other concrete slab lifting services in Calgary . I found Concrete Experts to be exceedingly fair in their billing too; the amount I was billed came in below estimated price! In addition, they do top quality work, they use a commercial grade 4 lb foam which is about triple the strength to the average 2 lb foam...what all of their competition uses. PLUS they warranty for 15 years. I did a LOT of research before I decided who to go with Bryan and his company, and am happy that I chose the best in Calgary.read more

We hired Concrete Experts to complete mud jacking for several units at our complex. Bryan's quote was not only reasonable but he identified that not all of our concerns needed to be completed this year and may be able to wait until next year - good for our budget!
Bryan answered homeowner questions as he worked and put concerned homeowners at ease.
We will definitely look at having him come back to our complex for work in future years.read more

I wish to commend Bryan and Concrete Experts for their prompt, efficient work on our garage floor. Their quote was fair, even lower than a previous similar job we had done. With the quote we received a detailed explanation of the procedure, testimonials and pictures. And the final bill was exactly as quoted. The crew cleaned up and explained the process to us. We could not be happier with the Concrete Experts.read more

I had the ground settle under my sidewalk and driveway next to the house. Concrete Experts were recommended to me by a friend and visited my house almost immediately.

Very pleased with the results. Definitely recommend getting this done and really glad I chose Concrete Expertsread more
