Polyurethane Foam Injection

Our advanced concrete leveling technique uses high-density polyurethane foam to lift and stabilize sunken concrete slabs with pinpoint accuracy. This modern approach offers significant advantages over traditional mudjacking methods.

The Concrete Leveling Process:

  1. Assessment: We evaluate the concrete to determine the cause of settling and create a strategic lift plan.
  2. Injection Points: Small 3/8" holes (about the size of a pencil) are drilled through the concrete at strategic locations.
  3. Foam Injection: Our specialized equipment injects expanding polyurethane foam beneath the slab.
  4. Precise Lifting: The expanding foam fills voids and gently raises the concrete to its proper position.
  5. Clean-up: Injection holes are filled with color-matched concrete, leaving minimal evidence of repair.

Most leveling projects are completed in just a few hours, and the concrete can be used immediately after the foam cures (typically 15-30 minutes after injection).

Common Applications:

  • Sunken driveway sections
  • Uneven sidewalks and walkways
  • Tilted patio slabs
  • Pool deck settlement
  • Garage floor depressions
  • Sinking front stoops or steps

Epoxy Crack Repair

Structural solutions for cracked concrete surfaces

High-Strength Epoxy Solutions

Concrete cracks are not just cosmetic issues—they can allow water infiltration that leads to more serious damage, especially during Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles. Our epoxy crack repair system creates a permanent, waterproof bond that's stronger than the concrete itself.

The Epoxy Repair Process:

  1. Crack Preparation: The crack is thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt, debris, and loose concrete.
  2. Surface Sealing: The surface of the crack is sealed to prevent epoxy from leaking out.
  3. Injection Ports: Entry points are installed along the length of the crack.
  4. Epoxy Injection: Low-viscosity epoxy is injected under pressure to completely fill the crack from bottom to top.
  5. Curing: The epoxy cures to create a permanent, waterproof seal stronger than the surrounding concrete.

Our specialized equipment allows us to repair cracks in floors, walls, foundations, and outdoor surfaces with minimal disruption to your property.

Types of Cracks We Repair:

  • Structural foundation cracks
  • Hairline surface cracks
  • Control joint deterioration
  • Shrinkage cracks
  • Settlement cracks
  • Corner breaks and edge cracks

Concrete Sealing

Professional protection for concrete surfaces

Concrete sealer application

Premium Concrete Sealers

Properly sealed concrete is significantly more resistant to staining, surface damage, and freeze-thaw deterioration. Our professional sealing services provide a protective barrier that extends the life of your concrete while enhancing its appearance.

Our Sealing Process:

  1. Surface Preparation: Thorough cleaning using pressure washing and specialized cleaners to remove dirt, oil, and contaminants.
  2. Repair: Addressing any minor cracks or surface damage before sealing.
  3. Application: Even application of premium-grade sealer using professional equipment.
  4. Protection: Monitoring weather conditions and protecting the area during curing.
  5. Inspection: Final quality check to ensure complete, uniform coverage.

Types of Sealers We Offer:

  • Penetrating Sealers: Invisible protection that penetrates into the concrete without changing its appearance.
  • Acrylic Sealers: Medium-gloss finish that enhances color while providing good protection.
  • Epoxy Sealers: Durable, high-build coating ideal for heavily used surfaces like garage floors.
  • Polyurethane Sealers: Premium protection with excellent chemical and abrasion resistance.

Regular sealing (every 2-3 years for exterior surfaces) is one of the most cost-effective ways to maintain your concrete investment and prevent costly repairs.

Surface Restoration

Concrete Resurfacing Solutions

When concrete has extensive surface damage but remains structurally sound, resurfacing provides a cost-effective alternative to replacement. Our concrete overlay systems apply a new wear surface that restores appearance and function while adding years of service life.

The Resurfacing Process:

  1. Surface Preparation: Thorough cleaning and profiling of the existing concrete to ensure proper bonding.
  2. Repairs: Fixing cracks, spalling, and other damage before overlay application.
  3. Primer Application: Applying bonding agents to enhance adhesion between old and new surfaces.
  4. Overlay Installation: Applying a thin layer (typically 1/8" to 1/4") of polymer-modified concrete.
  5. Finishing: Creating the desired texture, pattern, or decorative finish.
  6. Sealing: Protecting the new surface with appropriate sealers.

Resurfacing Options:

  • Skim Coat: Ultra-thin overlay for minor surface imperfections.
  • Stampable Overlay: Thicker application that can be stamped with patterns.
  • Spray Texture: Decorative, slip-resistant finish for pool decks and patios.
  • Stained & Scored: Artistic finishes with custom colors and patterns.

Resurfacing can address a wide range of concrete problems, from minor surface defects to severe spalling, while adding renewed beauty to your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about concrete repair services

How do I know if my concrete can be repaired or needs replacement?

Most concrete issues can be repaired if the foundation is structurally sound. As a general guideline:

  • Good Candidates for Repair: Uneven slabs, surface cracks, spalling/pitting, discoloration, minor drainage issues, salt damage, and most cosmetic concerns.
  • May Need Replacement: Extensive crumbling throughout the slab, severe heaving caused by tree roots, multiple cracks with significant differences in height, or concrete that's broken into numerous pieces.

Our assessment process includes evaluating the age of the concrete, underlying soil conditions, extent of damage, and cost comparison between repair and replacement. We provide honest recommendations based on what will provide the best long-term value for your specific situation.

How long do concrete repairs last?

The longevity of concrete repairs depends on the specific technique used and underlying conditions:

  • Polyurethane Foam Leveling: Typically 7-10+ years, often longer if the underlying soil issues are correctly addressed.
  • Epoxy Crack Repairs: 10-20+ years for structural cracks properly injected with high-quality epoxy.
  • Concrete Sealing: 2-5 years depending on exposure, traffic, and sealer type.
  • Resurfacing/Overlays: 7-15+ years with proper maintenance and sealing.

To maximize the lifespan of repairs, we address underlying causes (such as drainage issues or soil problems) rather than just treating symptoms. Regular maintenance, including cleaning and sealing, can significantly extend the life of your repairs.

How soon can we use the concrete after repairs?

Return-to-service times vary by repair method:

  • Polyurethane Foam Leveling: Immediate foot traffic; vehicle traffic in 15-30 minutes.
  • Epoxy Crack Repairs: Foot traffic in 4-6 hours; full cure in 24 hours.
  • Concrete Sealing: Foot traffic in 2-4 hours; vehicle traffic in 24-48 hours.
  • Resurfacing/Overlays: Foot traffic in 24 hours; vehicle traffic in 3-7 days depending on thickness.

These times are approximate and may vary based on weather conditions, particularly temperature and humidity. In cooler weather, curing times may be longer. We'll provide specific guidelines for your project to ensure optimal results.

What's the best time of year for concrete repairs in Minnesota?

The optimal season for concrete repairs in Minnesota is late spring through early fall (May through September), when temperatures consistently remain above 40°F. However, different repair types have different temperature requirements:

  • Polyurethane Foam Leveling: Can be performed in temperatures as low as 30°F, making this viable even in early spring or late fall.
  • Epoxy Repairs: Best when temperatures are between 50-85°F for optimal curing.
  • Concrete Sealing: Requires dry conditions and temperatures of 50-90°F, with no rain expected for 24 hours.
  • Resurfacing: Needs temperatures above 50°F with no freezing expected for at least 7 days.

For emergency repairs during colder months, we have specialized techniques and materials that can be used when necessary. For best results and scheduling availability, we recommend planning repairs during the peak season.

Are concrete repairs cost-effective compared to replacement?

Concrete repairs are typically much more cost-effective than full replacement:

  • Polyurethane Foam Leveling: Usually 50-70% less expensive than replacement.
  • Crack Repairs: A fraction of the cost of replacing the entire slab.
  • Resurfacing: Approximately 30-50% of the cost of removal and replacement.
  • Sealing: Preventative maintenance that extends concrete life at minimal cost.

Beyond direct cost savings, repairs also provide additional benefits: faster completion time, less disruption to your property, reduced environmental impact, and in many cases, immediate use of the surface after repair.
