One common concern people have about concrete lifting is whether it is environmentally friendly. The good news is that the materials used for concrete slab lifting are non-toxic and environmentally safe. In fact, concrete slab lifting is often considered a “green” solution because it reduces waste and minimizes the need for new materials.
Although difficult to perform and perfect without the right tools and training, concrete lifting or leveling is a straightforward process that follows three basic steps no matter the method being used:
- Holes are drilled in strategic locations throughout the affected concrete slabs.
- A compound is pumped through the holes and underneath the slab where it fills any voids and creates enough backpressure to cause the concrete to rise.
- Once the concrete is in the proper place, the drill holes are patched.
Another concern people may have is whether concrete slab lifting will damage their property. Again, the answer is no. The small holes drilled in the slab are typically less than 2 inches in diameter, and they can be easily filled with a colour-matched material after the lifting process is complete.
