Understanding the Lifting Process: From Evaluation to Completion with KAT Concrete Jan 11, 2026

Understanding the process of concrete lifting can be tremendously beneficial for homeowners and businesses experiencing issues with uneven or sunken concrete surfaces. At KAT Concrete Lifting, we ensure a seamless process that restores structural integrity and safety to your property. This guide outlines our comprehensive approach from evaluation to completion, highlighting why choosing professional services is crucial.

The first step in our concrete lifting process is an in-depth evaluation. Our experienced team conducts a thorough assessment of your property to identify the root causes of the settling or sinking. This may involve examining the soil conditions, water exposure, and the extent of damage. An accurate evaluation is critical as it helps tailor the most effective lifting solutions for your specific needs. We communicate the findings transparently with you, ensuring you're fully informed before any work begins.

Following the evaluation, we move to the planning phase. Our technicians develop a strategic plan that details the methods and materials we’ll use. At KAT Concrete Lifting, we employ advanced polyurethane foam or mudjacking techniques, based on the initial assessment. Polyurethane lifting involves injecting a high-density foam beneath the slab, which expands and securely lifts the concrete. This method is ideal for its quick curing time and minimal disruption. Alternatively, mudjacking uses a slurry mixture to stabilize the slab and is often chosen for its cost-effectiveness on larger projects. Both methods are environmentally friendly and designed to support long-term durability.

Our expert team follows this with the precise execution of the lifting process. Execution begins with drilling small holes into the sunken concrete sections where the lifting substance will be injected. For polyurethane foam, the precision and control allow for a lift that effectively addresses the imbalances without adding additional weight to the soil, a benefit particularly in areas with poor soil conditions. This minimizes the risk of further sinking, an important consideration for maintaining the longevity of the repair.

As the lifting takes place, we meticulously monitor the slab level to ensure accuracy and avoid over-lifting, which could potentially cause cracking or instability. Our attention to detail ensures that the concrete is not only leveled but that it aligns smoothly with adjacent slabs or surfaces. This careful approach is part of what sets KAT Concrete Lifting apart, ensuring you receive a solution tailored exactly to your needs.

Finally, the completion phase involves a thorough clean-up and a final check to ensure all project goals have been met. We ensure any injection holes are filled and surfaced to match the surrounding texture, enhancing the appearance of the repaired area. Our team also provides insights into maintenance practices that help preserve the integrity of your newly lifted concrete, such as managing drainage or considering sealants to prevent moisture penetration.

In conclusion, KAT Concrete Lifting’s process is designed to provide a durable, effective solution for sunken concrete problems while ensuring minimal disruption to your daily activities. By understanding and engaging at each step—from evaluation, planning, and execution to completion—you are assured a comprehensive service that restores functionality and aesthetics to your property.
