To Repair or Replace: Three Reasons Concrete Lifting is Better than a New Concrete Slab

Slab Fix To Repair or Replace Three Reasons Concrete Lifting is Better Than a New Concrete Slab
Well, there’s no getting around it; your concrete slab is damaged. Whether sections have sunken in, or the surface is cracked, the end result is the same. Action must be taken to restore your home’s curb appeal and prevent tripping hazards. But this begs the question; is it better to repair or replace your existing concrete slab? If your slab is free of severe breakage, most experts will agree that concrete lifting is the way to go. This is because of three simple reasons; speed, cost, and minimal disruption.
Concrete Slab Leveling with polyurethane is a quick and cost effective process for leveling the slab back into place and restoring the soil load beating capacity

First off, one of the chief benefits that comes with concrete lifting that you just don’t get with replacement is speed. Specifically, the speed of the process and the speed of recovery. When you put in a whole new concrete slab, you must first demolish and remove the old one. What is worse is that once that process is completed, you are still only halfway done! A whole new slab must be poured, smoothed, and left to dry, which can take days to complete. None of these are issues with concrete lifting. Through a relatively simple injection process, you can be standing on level, good-looking concrete in as little as two hours!

 

Another factor that is never far from any homeowner’s mind is the cost of the project. It should go without saying how much more palatable the cost of concrete lifting is as opposed to total slab replacement. Every job is different, but on average, concrete lifting is typically about half of the cost of total slab replacement. Just tearing up the old slab will be a costly endeavor, to say nothing of the process of pouring the new one. Specialized equipment, tools, and hired labor are just a few of the headaches both you and your wallet will be feeling. Concrete leveling is a far cheaper alternative, requiring less tools and labor.
And then, of course, there is the disruption to consider. How long will you be affected by this process? Tearing out concrete and replacing it is an incredibly disruptive and messy process that can leave the area in question unusable for days. Concrete lifting/leveling, specifically with polyurethane injection, is a minimally invasive process. Done properly and by professionals, it is not unusual for normal use to be restored within thirty to sixty minutes!
When looking at these factors together, a clear and concise picture begins to take shape. Yes, you can make the argument that replacing and repairing are options on equal footing. But once you add in the questions of cost, speed, and disruption to your everyday life? There is really no contest. Concrete lifting via polyurethane injection is the superior choice almost every single time.
