Concrete Lifting in Ithaca, NY

Concrete slabs sink when the soil beneath them washes away, compresses under load, or was never properly compacted during construction. Once settlement begins, water collects on the low side and accelerates the erosion process underneath. What starts as a minor dip becomes a significant trip hazard and drainage problem within a few seasons. The longer you wait, the larger the void grows beneath the slab and the more difficult and expensive the repair becomes. Early lifting saves money and prevents damage to adjacent slabs.

Midstate Basement lifts settled concrete by injecting expanding polyurethane foam through small ports drilled in the slab surface. The foam flows into void spaces beneath the concrete, fills them completely, and expands to lift the slab back to its target elevation. We control the lift precisely using laser measurement throughout the process. The foam cures within minutes and the repaired surface can handle foot traffic immediately. The entire process is completed without excavation, heavy equipment, or extended disruption.

Our lifting foam is engineered for permanent underground performance. It will not compress, dissolve, or break down over time the way mudjacking material does. The lightweight foam adds minimal load to the supporting soil, dramatically reducing the chance of re-settlement. Homeowners see their concrete returned to its original grade with improved drainage, eliminated trip hazards, and restored appearance that lasts through years of use and seasonal weather changes.
