Here is what usually brings homeowners across Hartford County to the phone. warning ### A Lip That Catches Toes A stepped joint on a walkway or entry is a liability the day someone goes over it. And it grows every winter rather than settling down. water\_drop ### Water Running at the House Once a slab tilts, roof and surface runoff heads for the foundation instead of away from it. A few degrees of lost pitch does that. construction ### A Tear-Out Quote You Hate Demolition, a week without the driveway, the landscaping wrecked, and a bill several times what a lift costs. Most of the time it is not necessary. door\_front ### Doors and Thresholds Out of Line A sunken garage or basement slab pulls thresholds, frames and doors out of alignment. The door is the symptom; the floor is the cause. All four have the same cause underneath: a cavity where the supporting ground used to be. Poorly compacted backfill consolidates, water washes the fines out, and every freeze-thaw cycle opens the space a little further. Fix the void and the slab stops moving.

Get a Free Written Quote [/contact/ →](/contact/) Why CT Pro ## Why Homeowners Pick Lifting Over Replacement The tear-out quote is the real competitor here, not another concrete company. Here is the honest case against it, and the one case for it. science ### Foam, Not Slurry Polyurethane weighs 2-6 lbs per cubic foot against mudjacking slurry at roughly 120. We are not adding weight to ground that already failed. It goes in through 5/8-inch ports, cures in 15-30 minutes, and being hydrophobic it displaces water instead of washing out. savings ### A Fraction of Tear-Out Replacement is priced by area and paid for in demolition, disposal, forms, concrete and a week of no access. Lifting is priced on lift height and void volume. The bigger your slab, the wider that gap gets. ac\_unit ### Built for Connecticut Ground Our frost line sits at 42 inches and footings have to reach below it. Your driveway does not. That single fact explains why flatwork settles here every winter and why a surface-only fix will not hold. yard ### Nothing Gets Torn Up No excavator, no demolition, no material stockpiles across the lawn. Everything works from the slab surface. On a property you have spent years landscaping, that is usually the whole argument. call ### A Local Crew That Answers We work out of Berlin and cover Hartford County. You get the owner on the phone and the owner at the inspection, not a national franchise routing your call to a contact center three states away. handshake ### We Say When to Replace Spalling, crumbling or heavily fractured concrete has reached the end of its service life and a lift on it is wasted money. You get that answer in writing at the free inspection, because it is worth more to you than a sale. How It Works ## How Polyurethane Slab Lifting Actually Works It sounds experimental until you see it. Four steps, a few hours on site, and the slab takes a load again before we pack up. 01 search ### Free Inspection We look at the slab, sound it for voids, measure the drop and tell you in writing what it needs, including when that is replacement. 02 adjust ### Penny-Sized Ports A planned pattern of 5/8-inch holes goes through the slab. Compare that to the 2-3 inch holes mudjacking needs. 03 expand\_less ### Inject and Lift Two-part expanding polyurethane fills the cavity first, then lifts the slab back to grade in monitored increments. 04 task\_alt ### Patch and Go Ports patched, site cleaned, foam at load-bearing strength in 15-30 minutes. Most driveways take a car before we leave.

Every figure below is a published material spec or a Connecticut code fact you can check for yourself. Connecticut frost line 42 in Footings have to reach below it. Your driveway sits well above it and takes the whole freeze-thaw cycle. Injection port 5/8 in About the width of a penny, patched on completion. Mudjacking needs 2 to 3 inch holes. Cure to load-bearing 15-30 min Mudjacking slurry typically needs 24 to 72 hours before it will carry a car. Foam per cubic foot 2-6 lbs Slurry runs around 120. We are not adding weight to ground that already gave way.

Every job is quoted per project on three things: square footage, how far the slab has dropped, and how much void has to be filled underneath. Flat per-slab rates hide too much variation to be honest. Two 400 square foot driveways can differ several times over in material once you measure the cavity. What holds across every job is the comparison. Lifting runs at a fraction of tear-out and replacement, and that gap widens as the slab gets bigger.

Our base, and why response is fastest across the south of the county Before You Call ## Concrete Lifting Questions Homeowners Ask ### How does polyurethane concrete leveling work? expand\_more We drill penny-sized (5/8") ports through the settled slab, inject a two-part expanding polyurethane that fills the void beneath it, and lift the concrete back to grade in monitored increments. The foam reaches most of its strength in 15-30 minutes, then the ports are patched. There's no demolition and your landscaping stays where it is. ### How much does concrete leveling cost in Connecticut? expand\_more Every job is quoted per project on square footage, lift height and how much void has to be filled. Flat per-slab rates hide too much variation to be honest. What holds across jobs is that lifting runs at a fraction of tear-out and replacement. The on-site inspection and written quote are free, and the quote is the price. ### How soon can I drive or walk on the concrete again? expand\_more Same day on most residential jobs. The polyurethane reaches load-bearing strength within 15-30 minutes of injection, so a driveway or garage floor typically takes a vehicle before we leave the property. Mudjacking slurry, by comparison, needs 24-72 hours before it will carry a load. ### Why does concrete sink so much in Connecticut? expand\_more Connecticut's frost line sits at 42 inches, and footings must reach below it. Driveways, patios and walkways sit well above that depth and take the full freeze-thaw cycle every winter. Combine that with the uncompacted backfill most flatwork was poured over and water washing fines out from underneath, and a void forms. The slab has nothing left to sit on, so it drops. ### How is this different from mudjacking? expand\_more Mudjacking pumps a cement slurry weighing roughly 120 lbs per cubic foot onto ground that has already failed under the slab's own weight, through 2-3 inch holes. Polyurethane foam weighs 2-6 lbs per cubic foot, goes in through 5/8-inch ports, cures in minutes rather than days, and is hydrophobic so it doesn't wash out over time. ### How do I know if my slab can be lifted or needs replacing? expand\_more Intact sections with clean cracks lift well. Slabs that are spalling, crumbling, or broken into many pieces have reached the end of their service life and are better replaced. We give you that answer at the free inspection in writing, including when replacement is the better buy, because a lift on a failing slab isn't worth your money. ### Still have a question? The on-site inspection answers it properly. We look at your actual slab and put the answer in writing, and it's free either way.
