What does the process look like?

When you contact us we will visit with you about your project- gathering information to make sure poly lifting is the right fit for you and your unique situation. If it is we will schedule a time to come in person and evaluate your concrete and provide you with a free no-obligation quote. Once the quote is accepted we will add you to our schedule and get you taken care of!

How long does it take?

Most lifts can be done in under 2 hours. This means minimal disruption to your use of the affected concrete. Our foam is completely cured in under 30 minutes meaning you can drive on your lifted driveway slabs as soon as we are done!

Do you warranty your work?

Yes for a period of 5 years! To qualify for this warranty your concrete must be at least 10 years old at the time of the initial lift. This ensures that regular Montana freeze/thaw cycles aren’t going to affect the slabs. The owner is responsible to remediate the original cause of the settling-such as water draining under the slab or sealing cracks in the slab that allow water to get under and wash away the base.

Will the holes destroy the look of my concrete?

No! The holes we drill are a small 5/8” diameter that we patch with a mix of Portland cement, sand, and water. While new concrete always looks slightly different than older concrete the patches blend in very well after curing and are often only noticeable with a very keen eye. When you remember that your alternative option is to tear out the concrete completely at over double the cost and all the lost time small patches are very easy to live with!

Do I need to be there for you to give an estimate/do the lift?

No! While we love working with owners one on one through the whole process we understand that life is hectic and you have other demands on your time. We will have you snap a few pictures of the areas you want us to look at and text or email them to us to make sure we look at the right slabs for the quote. If the slab is in a secured area such as a back yard vs. a front driveway or sidewalk we will need someone there to grant us access.

While many owners prefer to be present to watch the process it isn’t a requirement to do the lift. We will discuss this with you as part of scheduling your job. Often if you are OK with us completing the work without you present we can get you on the schedule even sooner. Either way this is completely up to you!

My slab is already cracked! Is it still salvageable?

Most of the time Yes! Most cracks are caused by the base under your slab being unstable or eroded. If caught before there is to much breakage most slabs can be raised back to where they should be with the added effect of often closing/minimizing the existing cracks.

My sidewalk is pushed up by tree roots. Is it able to be lifted?

Often times yes! While this is on a case by case basis often we can lift the slabs around the bulged area and the slabs a few sections back to create a gentle ramp over the root or obstruction.

My concrete has settled a large amount. Are you still able to lift it?

Yes! The only restrictions to how high we can lift a slab are places that the slab will hang up. This is where having an expert with experience & training comes in so clutch. We look at the big picture of the overall lift-not just the low areas but the other sides of the slabs and anything that might hang up during the lift. If we run into something that prevents us from completely lifting the slab to it’s previous height we will almost always know beforehand and will inform you up front on what may limit the success of the particular lift. This lets you make an informed choice about how to move forward with your project.

My slabs are flexing when I run a forklift or large vehicle over it. Is that something you can fix?

Yes! We specialize in not only lifting sunken slabs- but in void filling and supporting slabs as well. We can identify the areas where you have voids under your slabs that are allowing your concrete to move and flex with heavy traffic. Then it is a simple matter of filling those voids with our foam to give those slabs the base and support that they need.

Will your foam hurt the soil over time?

No! Once the 2 chemicals in our foam react and expand the resulting foam is very hard and is completely inert & hydrophobic-it doesn’t absorb water! It also holds no interest for bugs.

Can you lift the foundation of my house?

No. While we can lift any slab we aren’t able to lift foundations. If your house’s foundation has settled you will need a helical pier company that specializes in that area.
