Arkansas Foundation Repair & Concrete Leveling: Frequently Asked Questions

It is a process where a two-part structural foam is injected beneath sunken concrete. The foam expands to fill voids, compacts the soil, and hydraulically lifts the slab or foundation back to its original level.

Yes. Unlike traditional mudjacking—which uses a heavy “slurry” that can wash away or settle under its own weight—polyurethane is waterproof and chemical-resistant. It will never rot, erode, or lose its shape, making it the most durable solution for the Arkansas climate.

Don’t let the word “foam” fool you. This is geotechnical, closed-cell structural polyurethane. Once cured, it is incredibly dense and can support thousands of pounds per square foot—the same technology the DOT uses to level interstate highways.

Yes. While many companies only lift small slabs (sidewalks/patios), Airlift Concrete Experts has perfected the tools and techniques to lift structural footers. We have successfully leveled garages, homes, businesses, and churches since 2018.

Piers drive steel rods into the earth to put your home on “stilts,” which is invasive and expensive. Our process strengthens the existing soil your home was built on. Foam is typically 40% less expensive, takes less time, and doesn’t require tearing up your landscaping with heavy machinery.

Arkansas soil is often rich in expansive clay, which swells when wet and shrinks during hot, dry summers. This movement creates the voids that cause your concrete to settle. Our foam doesn’t just lift the slab; it compacts that loose soil to help prevent future movement.

No. This is the least invasive repair method available. We only drill holes the size of a dime (5/8″) to inject the foam. There are no trenches and no heavy excavators. Once we patch the holes, you’ll hardly know we were there.

Absolutely. Our foam is eco-friendly and becomes completely inert once cured. It will not leach chemicals into your soil or affect well water, making it safe for residential yards and agricultural sites like grain bins.

We use precision laser levels to monitor the lift to within 1/10th of an inch. Our experienced technicians inject the foam in controlled bursts, ensuring a level surface without over-lifting or causing new cracks.

Most residential projects are completed in a single day. Because the foam cures in about 15 minutes, you can drive on your driveway or use your foundation immediately after we finish.

Yes. We stand by our work with a structural warranty. Furthermore, our foundation lifting is transferable to the next homeowner, which adds significant value to your property if you decide to sell.
