It is faster and more convenient―most projects take only an hour or two―and after the work is completed, the area is ready for use within a few hours. Concrete lifting, however, is a much cleaner process that leaves no waste behind. To remove a slab and replace it means a lot of jackhammer noise and huge dust clouds of fine dust that settles upon everything. Louis foundation contractors will also inject high expansion foam in the lift areas to fill any voids under the slab to help prevent critter access. With a particular method, we can even match old weathered concrete. The holes are then filled with high strength cement to match the existing as close as possible leaving little visual evidence of the repair. A lifting steel lifting plate is then inserted in the hole, secured then a steel pier is pushed down through the center of the hole until it reaches stable strata then lifting the slab back into position.

Louis Foundation Repair’s slab lifting method involves drilling a hole or series of holes depending on the size of the slab to be lifted, in the damaged slab approx 8” in diameter. Louis foundation contractors offer concrete repair services to all of our customers in the area.
This might be acceptable in some instances, but if you repair just a single sidewalk or patio section, the difference in appearance might be too noticeable. And, because the new slab does not stabilize the soil the way concrete lifting does, it is likely the new slab will eventually become unsettled in the future.Īlso, a new slab will look wonderful after it is poured, but rarely will its color and texture match the surrounding concrete. To pour a new slab usually costs two to three times more than simply lifting the concrete.
Cost and aesthetics are the main reasons most people prefer concrete slab lifting.
