Do you have a concrete slab — be it sidewalk, driveway, porch or others — that has started to crack or settle? Is your home beginning to exhibit the signs of foundation failure? If so, you can contact the foundation repair and slab lifting experts in Jacksonville for a solution. Airlift Concrete Experts is your number one choice for foundation repair and concrete raising.
We offer concrete lifting with polyurethane foam, also known as polyjacking, services and more to restore the concrete around your Jacksonville, AR home. Our team is experienced in dealing with settled concrete and we have the necessary equipment to get your repairs done efficiently and effectively. The methods that we use to lift concrete are non-invasive and can be used for both residential and commercial applications.
The polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete through small, coin-sized holes. The foam expands underground, both hydraulically lifting the slab and compressing any loose or weak soil particles that were allowing the concrete to sink in the first place.
This method is more precise, longer lasting and less invasive than methods like mudjacking and less expensive than pouring a new concrete slab, especially given that you would need to ensure the concrete wouldn’t start sinking again as soon as you pour it.

There are several different things that can cause the foundation of your home to start settling. If there is excess moisture in the ground beneath your slab, erosion could wash away the soil and create voids that lead to settlement. Soil shrinkage due to dry and hot weather could also create voids or soil to not be compact enough to support your home. Whatever the cause, it is important to look for signs of foundation failure:
These issues indicate that you may need to invest in foundation repair.
At Airlift, we use a minimally invasive foundation repair method that costs less than those used by most of our competitors. The key with any foundation repair is to bring the foundation back to level and then make sure the foundation is supported enough going forward that it won’t start immediately settling again.
Rather than installing a piering system, which is both invasive and expensive, we use polyurethane foam to hydraulically lift the foundation while also filling subsurface voids and compacting the soil particles from within. This increases the soil’s load-bearing capacity.
Not believing the same technique that lifts sidewalk slabs could be used on your house? For many contractors, that may be the case. At Airlift, however, we are among the industry leaders in polyfoam lifting applications. One of our specialties? Using foam to lift sinking grain bins.
This method of foundation repair has two primary benefits for you. First, it is less expensive than most other foundation repair methods. Second, it is far less invasive. No heavy equipment. No excavating portions of your yard to expose the footings.
