PolyLevel® is a less abrasive and cost-saving alternative to concrete lifting & leveling. The entire concrete lifting process is less destructive and offers numerous benefits over typical slab raising methods. Our Miami contractors are the only professionals trained and to provide the PolyLevel® concrete lifting solution.
The PolyLevel® Concrete lifting and slab-raising applications will work for the many variations of sinking and settling concrete, including:
The problem isn’t your concrete, it’s the soil beneath. When the soil beneath your concrete compacts or washes out, it leaves voids into which heavy concrete slabs sink. These voids need to be filled in order to raise the sunken slabs back to level.
How expansive soil plays a role:
On average, rainfall in Miami, Florida totals to 59 inches per year, higher than the US average of 38 inches. When expansive clay soil is exposed to heavy rainfall combined with Miami’s spring droughts, this makes the soil shrink and rise, causing the concrete above to lift or settle. Concrete settlement often leads to cracked and sunken concrete slabs.
Other causes and signs of concrete damage:
Concrete is strong, but it's not indestructible. Concrete is often poured over recently backfilled soil around a home after construction. This loose soil settles over time, creating a void under the concrete. Another common occurrence is erosion of soil under the slab. As water runs down through the cracks and joints in the concrete, it washes the soil out as it passes through. These voids cause your concrete to shift and settle, creating cracked, uneven surfaces and dangerous tripping hazards.

Mudjacking, or pressure grouting, are solutions that require the demolition and replacement of an entire slab of concrete, a procedure that is time consuming and expensive. PolyLevel® two-part foam expands instantaneously upon injection beneath a settled slab. The injection holes are small and much less abrasive than those required for mud jacking. During the injection process, PolyLevel® expands many times its original volume, forcing the sunken concrete back to its initial level. It takes only a matter of minutes for the polymer to expand and reach more than 90% of its firmness!
For homeowners, general contractors and commercial property owners, the PolyLevel® system is the most effective solution for repairing sunken concrete surfaces. Contact us today for a free inspection and repair estimate!
