The process of concrete lifting is relatively simple. First, small holes are drilled in the sunken or uneven slab. Then, the special material is injected through the holes and into the void underneath the slab. As the material expands, it “jacks” the slab back into its original position.
The material used for concrete slab lifting is strong and durable, and it can withstand heavy loads and extreme weather conditions. Once the material has hardened, it stabilizes the slab and prevents future sinking or settling.
