What Is Commercial Curb Lifting?

Commercial curb lifting is a concrete repair process that raises settled curbs by injecting high-density polyurethane foam beneath the concrete. The foam fills voids caused by soil erosion and gently lifts the curb back into proper position.

This approach preserves existing concrete while correcting functional and safety issues.

Common Curb Problems on Commercial Properties

Curbs play a critical role in parking lot safety and drainage. Common issues include:

Curbs sinking or tilting over time
Poor water drainage leading to erosion
Vehicle impacts causing misalignment
Trip hazards near sidewalks and walkways
Uneven curb height affecting accessibility

These issues are common in parking lots, drive lanes, loading areas, and commercial entrances.

Why Curbs Settle or Shift

Curbs commonly settle due to:

Soil erosion from stormwater runoff
Freeze–thaw cycles in the Kansas City region
Improper soil compaction during installation
Heavy vehicle traffic and impacts
Poor drainage design

When soil support is lost, curbs begin to sink or lean.

Curb Lifting vs. Curb Replacement
