Why Does Concrete Sink?
The causes of concrete settlement and sinking are the same whether it's a driveway, walkway, patio, garage floor, or pool deck. As soil underneath a concrete slab shrinks, settles or washes away, this leaves empty space, or voids, beneath the slab. With the soil no longer supporting the slab, the concrete will sink, creating an uneven surface.
If expansive soils and settlement are causing your concrete to sink and crack, then it’s important to find the concrete leveling solution that solves the problem at its source. Other concrete repair methods, like simply stripping and replacing the concrete slab, won’t prevent future settlement. Methods like PolyLevel® fill the voids caused by expansive soil, meaning your concrete is repaired both cosmetically and structurally.
How PolyLevel® Works for Concrete Raising and Leveling
PolyLevel® uses high-density polyurethane foam to fill voids, stabilize, and lift sinking concrete slabs. The expanding properties of the two-part urethane formula allows for accurate leveling of the slab. The result is a waterproof repair that's much more permanent than mudjacking and other common concrete repair methods.
Small 5/8” holes are strategically drilled in the slab.
Injection ports are installed.
Polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slab.
Holes and control joints are sealed.
PolyLevel® Concrete Leveling Applications
Total Foundation Solutions has the expertise and equipment to quickly raise and level many types of slab-on-grade concrete, so you can use those areas around your home without worry.
Garage Floors
If your garage floor has uneven or sunken concrete, we can fix it with our PolyLevel® services. It’s important for garage floors to be stable enough to support the heavy weight placed on them, and PolyLevel® can raise the sunken concrete back into place for permanent stability.
Driveways
If you have a driveway that's sunken or uneven, replacing it might not be the most cost-effective option. We can use PolyLevel® to raise the concrete, creating an even surface and preventing further sinking and cracking. Our driveway leveling process can eliminate unsafe conditions and improve the curb appeal of your home. The life of your driveway will also be extended for years without the need for replacement.
Sidewalks & Walkways
An uneven sidewalk not only looks bad, but it creates a tripping hazard. If the concrete slab is still intact, don't waste your money on replacing the concrete. With PolyLevel®, we can raise your sunken sidewalk, allowing you to walk on the sidewalk within an hour. Our sidewalk leveling process saves you time and money.
Patios, Porches & Landings
You shouldn't have to worry about tripping on uneven concrete when relaxing on your patio. You might also notice your table and chairs wobbling because of uneven concrete. Concrete leveling can eliminate these issues and provide a safe, even surface.
Concrete Floors & Slab Foundations
If your home has sloped floors, cracks in floor tiles, gaps below baseboards, gaps at the tops of walls or sticking doors, you might have a concrete settlement problem. Our use of polyurethane foam for concrete floor leveling is a long-lasting alternative to self-leveling treatments.
Concrete Pool Decks
Has your concrete pool deck seen better days? Worried about the cracked, uneven deck causing tripping hazards? PolyLevel® can raise your concrete pool deck back to its original position and help restore your backyard pool area into the oasis it once was.
PolyLevel® for Commercial, Industrial, and Municipal Applications
Looking for commercial, industrial or municipal solutions? PolyLevel® can be used for a broad range of applications, such as concrete raising, void filling, soil stabilization, and leak repair.

Traditional Concrete Lifting vs PolyLevel®
Before foundation polyleveling, our Erie concrete leveling specialists would generally utilize mudjacking and slab replacement. However, both approaches have limitations and disadvantages. PolyLevel® offers many advantages over traditional concrete leveling methods:
Mudjacking is a concrete leveling method that utilizes a mud-concrete mixture called “slurry.” This slurry is injected into voids to raise the concrete back to level. Though the process sounds similar, when compared to mudjacking, PolyLevel® offers a faster, less-invasive, longer-lasting solution. Mudjacking can take days to cure, whereas PolyLevel® cures in under an hour. Not only that, but Mudjacking is also subject to erosion and wash-out, just like the soil. PolyLevel®, on the other hand, is a permanent concrete leveling solution. Finally, Polylevel® uses smaller holes for injecting fill materials, meaning less mess and disruption than mudjacking.
Replacing a concrete slab is both expensive and disruptive. Concrete slabs can take days - or even weeks - to cure. Pouring new concrete over bad soil often delays future problems and leaves unsightly patchwork. PolyLevel® material is lightweight, so it won't add weight to weak soil. Best of all, PolyLevel® allows for use of concrete within hours, not weeks.
