If you’ve noticed uneven concrete around your Florida home—whether it’s a driveway, patio, pool deck, or sidewalk—you’re likely dealing with concrete settlement. This is a common issue in Florida due to sandy soils, heavy rains, and shifting ground. Fortunately, tearing out and replacing concrete isn’t your only option.
One of the most effective solutions is concrete lifting, also known as slabjacking or polyjacking.
What Is Concrete Lifting?
Concrete lifting is the process of raising and stabilizing sunken or uneven concrete slabs. Instead of replacing the slab, professional slab jackers restore it to its proper level by filling voids beneath the concrete and stabilizing the soil.
Polyurethane foam injection, also called polyjacking, is the preferred method in Florida. It’s fast, durable, and designed to resist water and erosion—perfect for our local soil conditions.
Signs You May Need Concrete Lifting
Not every uneven slab is obvious at first. Watch for these warning signs:
-
Cracked or tilted concrete surfaces
-
Gaps between the concrete and adjacent surfaces (like sidewalks or patios)
-
Uneven driveways or sidewalks that create tripping hazards
-
Pool decks or patios that slope toward the home or collect water
-
Doors or garage doors that don’t close properly due to uneven foundation
If you notice one or more of these issues, concrete lifting may be the solution you need.
How Does Concrete Lifting Work?
At Sealtite Slabjacking & Insulation, we use polyurethane foam injection to lift and stabilize concrete slabs. Here’s how it works:
- Small access holes are drilled in the slab.
- Pipes are driven beneath the slab or footings, reaching the soil below.
- High-density polyurethane foam is injected under the slab.
- The foam expands, filling voids, compacting weak soil, and lifting the concrete back into place.
- The foam cures quickly, forming a strong, water-resistant base.
This method is fast, clean, and non-invasive—no heavy equipment or large-scale excavation is required.
