Concrete Repair Calgary
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. Concrete Experts Calgary can help you with the concrete repair.
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!
Concrete lifting: the benefit of polyurethane
Concrete Lifting has many names including mudjacking, slabjacking, and polyurethane concrete lifting. Different methods can be used, but at Concrete Experts Calgary we use the latest polyurethane technology. This 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.

I hired Concrete Experts to fill the void in my front step. The team was very responsive and were able to come the... next day to give me an estimate, offering to price-match if i found a better offer. As opposed to other companies, Concrete Experts was able to schedule me in right away which was a huge selling point.
On top of that, they came back a 2nd time to to take a look at another issue i was having (front steps pulling away from foundation), and gave me guidance on how to fix myself, free-of-charge.
Would definitely recommend and go back to Concrete Experts againread more

Bryan helped us in solving a slab sub-grade support issue for a very high forklift load cycle / high load industrial... area. His team was excellent to work with, and under my direction helped stabilize the slab so that we could apply a permanent surface repair solution in a critical area that was damaging the forklifts, as well as a preventive measure to protect the rest of the slab from surface damage elsewhere. And, it was all done under budget.

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

Concrete Experts – are truly that.
I called and got three quotes, from the top three concrete professionals based on... google reviews in Calgary.
My Hot Tub pad weight requirements were to withstand 6500 lbs. of weight when full of water, and all the quotes came in between $4k and $6K. However the biggest difference was what I was getting in these quotes, from labor, material, design/structure and methodology about how and why to pour the pad based on my situation.
Concrete Experts included more rebar, thicker rebar, and additional 2 inches of concrete (thicker pad) than the competition, 2 piles that other quotes did not even suggest or offer, and ridge foam, for heaving. AWESOME Value.
Out of all the quotes and (education process) Concrete Experts explained the pros and cons of the different approaches to pouring the pad and methodology as to either tie the Hot Tub pad to my house foundation or not and the risks and alternatives, that worked best.
Hands down these guys know what they are talking about, and delivered above and beyond what they quoted.
Bryan Tagg and his Crew, were on time, efficient, polite, communicated well, and were collaborative on what I wanted, and made suggestions, and recommendation based on my requirements, they were respectful of my property, and my neighbours and truly did an amazing job.
My original quote from “Concrete Experts” – Bryan Tagg (owner) was for $5,049 and the final bill came in at $4800. Very happy with them and would recommend them to any family member or friend. I will defiantly use them again.

Bryan came and estimated the work for me. He came back and did the work as we agreed and the outcomes were very good... for the entire scope; however; I had a concern in one area that was not fill out properly from my opinion. I did ask Bryan via emails with the photos to come back and fill out the area of concern, but he start talking about extra charges to fill the hole who left behind “which is part of his scope - under the slab towards the 1st door step”. Also mentioned he won’t guarantee ploy to not go over the stucco due to the location and the high pressure unless the entire area get sealed. For me, this is why I hired expert to assess the job site and come up with plan HOW to address ALL the issues BEFORE he starts the job. Not to leave an outstanding area and offer another FREE visit to start bargaining again for EXTRA charges.
My comments for those who want to hire Concrete Expert make sure to go through the scope with Bryan in DETAILS to ensure you get the right service. Am I hiring him again if I have another job? No, because he failed to identify the FULL scope at the beginning when he assessed the job and he wasn’t willing to keep the customer satisfied after deficiency was observed.
I did finish the work that he left behind and bought couple of Poly cans from Lowe’s to fill the hole. I paid him full amount of $3,000 and got unfinished job… What a GREAT service !!read more
