In business, time is money—and when concrete problems arise, every hour of disruption can hit your bottom line. Whether it’s a sunken loading dock, uneven warehouse floor, or cracked commercial walkway, ignoring concrete issues can be a liability. But full replacement takes time, creates a mess, and can force costly shutdowns.
That’s where slabjacking comes in. This efficient concrete leveling solution is designed to lift and stabilize sunken slabs with minimal disruption to your business operations.
What Is Slabjacking?
Slabjacking (also called concrete lifting) involves injecting material beneath sunken concrete to raise it back to its original position. For commercial properties, this is a cost-effective, quick, and non-invasive alternative to concrete replacement.
There are two types of slabjacking:
-
Traditional Mudjacking: Uses a cement-based slurry to fill voids and lift slabs.
-
Polyurethane Foam Lifting: A modern method using high-density foam that expands, lifts, and stabilizes.
For commercial applications, we recommend polyurethane foam due to its speed, strength, and minimal disruption.
Why Polyurethane Foam Lifting Is Ideal for Commercial Repairs
Here’s why commercial property owners and facility managers trust foam slabjacking:
✅ Fast Cure Time
Foam cures in 15 minutes or less, allowing you to return to full operations the same day—often within hours of the repair.
✅ Minimal Interruption
Our process requires only small access holes (about the size of a dime) and minimal equipment. That means no large demo areas, no loud jackhammering, and no days-long shutdowns.
✅ Long-Lasting Results
Polyurethane foam is waterproof, resists erosion, and doesn’t shrink, making it perfect for high-traffic or heavy-load areas like warehouses, storefronts, and loading docks.
✅ Cost-Effective
Compared to full slab replacement, slabjacking is typically 50–70% less expensive—and with far less lost productivity.
Where Can Slabjacking Be Used Commercially?
Slabjacking is ideal for a wide range of commercial and industrial settings:
-
Warehouse floors
-
Loading docks
-
Commercial driveways
-
Storefront sidewalks
-
Parking lots
-
Factory and shop floors
-
Apartment complex walkways
-
School or municipal buildings
If concrete is sinking, cracking, or creating a safety hazard, slabjacking offers a fast, permanent fix.
Safety, Liability & Compliance
Trip hazards and uneven surfaces aren’t just inconvenient—they’re serious liability risks. A single injury claim from an employee or customer can cost far more than the repair itself. Slabjacking helps your property stay ADA-compliant and safe for foot and vehicle traffic.
