What Is Concrete Lifting?
Concrete lifting, also known as slab jacking or foam jacking, is a cost-effective, non-invasive method used to raise and level sunken or uneven concrete surfaces. Instead of replacing entire concrete slabs, a specialized material (often spray foam) is injected underneath to lift and stabilize the slab.
How It Works:
Benefits of Concrete Lifting:
Concrete lifting is especially useful in Wisconsin’s climate, where freeze-thaw cycles often cause concrete to settle or shift. It’s a smart, reliable solution for homeowners and businesses looking to fix uneven surfaces without the mess or cost of new concrete.

Instead of replacing entire concrete slabs, a specialized material (often spray foam) is injected underneath to lift and stabilize the slab.
How It Works:
- Small holes are drilled into the sunken concrete.
- A polyurethane foam or grout mixture is injected under the slab.
- The foam expands, gently raising the concrete back to its original level.
- The holes are sealed, and the surface is ready for use—often the same day.
- Sidewalks
- Driveways
- Garage floors
- Patios
- Basement slabs
- Steps
- Warehouse floors
Benefits of Concrete Lifting:
- Faster & cheaper than full replacement
- Minimal downtime – walk or drive on it the same day
- Long-lasting results
- Reduces trip hazards and liability
- Eco-friendly with less waste
