What Is Shop Floor Lifting?
Shop floor lifting is a concrete repair method that raises sunken or uneven floor slabs by injecting high-density polyurethane foam beneath the concrete. The foam fills voids, stabilizes the soil, and lifts the slab back to proper elevation.
This solution is ideal for active shop environments where precision and efficiency are critical.
Common Shop Floor Issues
Shop floors must support equipment, vehicles, and daily operations. Common problems include:
Uneven or settled concrete slabs
Cracking from soil movement
Equipment vibration or misalignment
Standing water or drainage issues
Trip hazards in work areas
Even small changes in floor level can impact workflow and safety.
Why Shop Floors Settle
Shop floors can settle due to:
Poor soil compaction during construction
Repeated equipment loads and traffic
Moisture intrusion beneath the slab
Freeze–thaw cycles common in the Kansas City region
Voids forming under the concrete
Over time, these factors cause floors to shift or sink.
Our Shop Floor Lifting Process
Our process is designed to minimize disruption:
Evaluate floor conditions and identify affected areas
Drill small injection holes in the slab
Inject polyurethane foam beneath the concrete
Lift and level the slab with precision control
