Removal and Replacement
Removing and replacing your old, worn concrete slab may be the more cost-effective option. We are experienced in this process and will install your new slab as seamlessly as possible.
If your concrete is still in decent condition but has sunken or risen, we can inject a high-density polyurethane foam into pre-drilled holes. This substance is lightweight and eco-friendly and will expand under the slab to fill any voids, lifting it so it’s level, stable, and sealed against water.
Once the process is complete, we’ll fill in the core holes with Portland cement.
