Concrete Lifting in South Florida

Free Estimates • 5‑Year Warranty • Same‑Day Results

Before and after concrete lifting on a South Florida driveway

Uneven concrete isn’t just ugly — it’s a trip hazard, a liability, and an everyday annoyance when doors scrape and wheels catch. Floridian Concrete Lifting restores settled slabs using high‑density polyurethane foam injection, a clean process that lifts and supports your existing concrete without demolition. We drill small 5/8″ diamond‑size holes, inject expanding foam underneath, fill voids, and guide a controlled lift back toward grade. Because the foam is lightweight and closed‑cell, it doesn’t add heavy load or absorb water. Most residential areas are back in use the same day.

Homeowners call us for driveways and pool decks; property managers call us for sidewalks and HOA routes; facilities teams call us for warehouses, loading aprons, and interior slabs that have drifted. Our crew works neatly around landscaping, screen enclosures, garage thresholds, and finished interiors. We keep hoses tidy, protect edges, and patch ports with a durable mix so the final look is clean and professional. You’ll get straight‑talk pricing, a clear plan, and work backed by our 5‑year warranty.

Small 5/8″ ports, precise control, and same‑day usability — that’s how we do it in South Florida.

Why Concrete Sinks Here in South Florida

Our ground is mostly sand. It drains quickly — great for storms — but it doesn’t “lock up” like clay. When water moves through sandy backfill or across poorly directed downspouts, it can carry fines away and leave voids. Once support is lost, corners dip, joints open, and panels tilt. Even a small void can grow as traffic and rainfall work the same spot over and over.

The usual culprits we find on estimates across Palm Beach, Broward, Miami‑Dade, and the Treasure Coast include downspouts dumping at slab edges; stormwater cutting across driveway flares; irrigation overspray saturating soil along pool decks and patios; backfill settling after plumbing or utility work; root decay where trees were removed; and repeated point loads from vehicles, forklifts, or dumpsters. Any one of these can create a weak pocket that gets worse with time.

The better answer isn’t to rip everything out — it’s to lift and stabilize the slab that’s already there. Foam injection targets those pockets, expands to fill space, and re‑supports the slab on a denser base. Because the ports are only 5/8″ and the equipment is compact, most jobs are done with minimal disruption and no damage to surrounding finishes.

Our Concrete Lifting Process (Step by Step)

  1. Assessment & mapping: We locate voids, evaluate the slab condition, measure deflection, and plan the lift pattern. As part of this step we also look for the root cause — drainage issues, irrigation leaks, downspouts, or weak backfill — and recommend simple fixes so it doesn’t continue after we lift.
  2. Drilling ports: We drill 5/8″ diamond‑size holes for our injection ports — small, clean, and precise.
  3. Foam injection: High‑density polyurethane expands beneath the slab, fills empty space, and densifies the bearing soils for lasting support.
  4. Controlled lift: Using dial indicators, we raise slabs gradually to protect finishes and keep joints aligned.
  5. Patch & go: Injection ports are patched with a durable mix. Most areas are ready for foot traffic immediately and vehicle traffic the same day.

You’ll see the lift happen in real time. We communicate as we go, explain the limits of each panel, and stop at the right point for safety and finish quality. If a particular crack or joint needs sealant or a control‑joint cut after lifting, we’ll note it in your estimate so you know exactly what to expect.

Clean work, tight control, and the right material for Florida’s wet/dry cycles.

Why Choose Polyurethane Concrete Lifting Instead of Replacement?

  • Fast & clean: Most projects wrap in hours; areas reopen the same day.
  • Lightweight: Foam adds minimal load, so you don’t trigger more settlement.
  • Waterproof: Closed‑cell foam won’t wash out in summer storms or king tides.
  • Smaller ports: 5/8″ holes finish cleaner than old‑school mudjacking.
  • Cost‑savvy: Often 40–60% less than tear‑out and replacement — without the mess.

Demolition and replacement means days of noise, dust, forms, and curing time, followed by a color/texture mismatch. Lifting keeps the concrete you already have, restores function quickly, and limits disruption to daily life or operations. It’s the practical choice for driveways and sidewalks, pool decks and patios, interior slabs, and busy commercial floors where downtime is expensive.

Where Concrete Lifting Makes the Biggest Difference

  • Driveways and sidewalks (fix trip hazards)
  • Pool decks and patios
  • Garage and interior slabs
  • Warehouse and industrial floors
  • Loading docks and aprons
  • Municipal sidewalks & HOA routes

What to Expect: Pricing, Prep, and Cleanup

Every property is different, so we price by scope rather than “per hole.” Your written estimate explains which panels we’re lifting, where we’ll place ports, and how we’ll stage the work. For homes, we keep access tidy and protect landscaping. For commercial jobs, we phase bays to maintain traffic, coordinate with site managers, and can work off‑hours if that’s easier on operations.

Before we arrive, move vehicles off the work area and clear small items from the slab. We handle the rest — layout, drilling, injection, lift, patch, and sweep‑down. When we leave, you’ll have a safer, smoother surface with ports neatly patched and edges intact. Most driveways and sidewalks are immediately walkable; vehicle traffic generally resumes the same day unless we advise otherwise.

Common Questions We Get

How long does concrete lifting take? A typical residential lift takes a few hours. Larger commercial bays or long sidewalk runs may take a day. Most areas are usable the same day.

Will the patches match? We keep injection ports to 5/8″ and blend the patch. On textured or aged surfaces, patches soften visually over time. If color matching is critical, we’ll discuss topcoat options.

Can you lift cracked slabs? Yes — as long as pieces are interlocked and have enough integrity, we can lift and stabilize them. If a joint needs sealant after the lift, we’ll note that on your estimate.

Do you work around pools and screen enclosures? Every week. We protect coping and pavers, route hoses carefully, and maintain a clean site so the space is usable as soon as we finish.

What about interior floors? We lift interior slabs, garage floors, and warehouse aisles. Work is staged to minimize downtime, and we can coordinate with your schedule for off‑hours if needed.

How long does it last? Our high‑density, closed‑cell polyurethane is hydrophobic and built for long service life. We match the material and injection pattern to your slab and back it with a 5‑year warranty.
