Concrete Leveling & Lifting

Concrete Lifting and Leveling in Huntsville, AL

Concrete driveways, sidewalks, patios, and other slabs can become uneven as the ground beneath them changes over time. Soil settlement, erosion, poor compaction, and voids beneath the concrete can all contribute to sinking or shifting slabs.

Ox Foundation Solutions provides professional concrete lifting in Huntsville, AL, for sunken and uneven concrete around residential and commercial properties. Our team evaluates the affected areas to determine what may be contributing to the movement and whether polyurethane concrete lifting is an appropriate repair option.

Signs Your Huntsville Concrete Needs Lifting

Changes in concrete surfaces can develop gradually, and not every crack or uneven area requires the same repair. Signs that may warrant an evaluation include:

• Cracks in concrete: Cracks across driveways, walkways, patios, or other slabs may develop as support beneath the concrete changes.
• Sinking or uneven surfaces: Height differences between adjoining slabs can indicate that sections of concrete have settled.
• Pooling water: Water collecting on concrete surfaces may indicate changes in the slope or drainage around the affected area.
• Sloping porches or patios: Concrete surfaces that appear noticeably uneven or sloped may have shifted from their original position.
• Gaps beneath concrete: Visible spaces beneath the edge of a slab may indicate that soil has settled or eroded away.
• Uneven transitions: Changes in height between adjoining slabs can create noticeable raised or lowered edges.

If you notice these changes around your property, an inspection can help determine whether concrete leveling in Huntsville, AL, may be appropriate.

What Causes Concrete to Sink in Huntsville?

Concrete depends on the ground beneath it for support. When soil settles, erodes, washes away, or was not adequately compacted before the concrete was installed, empty spaces can develop beneath portions of a slab.

Tree roots and changing moisture conditions may also affect the ground surrounding concrete surfaces. As support beneath a slab changes, sections of the concrete may begin to sink or become uneven.

Rather than assuming the cause based on what is visible at the surface, Ox evaluates the affected concrete and surrounding conditions first. When appropriate, polyurethane concrete lifting in Huntsville can help fill voids beneath the slab and raise settled concrete.

Our Polyurethane Concrete Lifting Process

Ox Foundation Solutions uses OxPoly® polyurethane foam to help fill voids beneath sunken concrete and raise affected sections toward a more even position. The process typically involves:

1. Drilling: Small access holes are drilled into selected areas of the affected slab.
2. Injection: Polyurethane material is injected beneath the concrete, where it expands to help fill voids and raise the slab.
3. Patching: The access holes are patched after the lifting process is complete.

Because every slab and underlying condition is different, the amount of lift and final position will depend on the conditions found at the property. Our team will explain what to expect before beginning the repair.
