Bring that Basement Floor Back to Level with Liftech
Your basement floor has started to sink, causing an uneven surface, cracks, and gaps that you can’t stand to live with any longer. This is where Liftech comes in! With our Polyurethane concrete leveling, we can bring almost any basement floor back to level! As a result, you have a level floor with little hassle!
Polyurethane leveling is ideal for lifting and leveling basement floors where access is limited and low intrusion is necessary. Even if you’re dealing with sunken basement floors in a finished basement, Liftech can level and lift your floors with minimal damage to the concrete and surrounding structure. The basement floor leveling process is easy. For instance, small holes are drilled through the concrete in the affected areas, a polyurethane mix is injected through the holes to level out the floor and your basement is fully serviceable again within a few hours at most. It’s as simple as that! Schedule an on-site quote with us at Liftech today to get started.
Why Choose Polyurethane Concrete Leveling?
It's the Best Solution for Basement Floor Leveling
When polyurethane is injected under the concrete of your basement floor between the soil and the slab, it forms a bond between the concrete and soil. Moreover, this bond is hydrophobic (i.e., water can’t penetrate it) and is not susceptible to fracture or failure, providing you a long-term solution to sinking or failing basement floors. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
- Penny-sized holes are strategically drilled based on the location, area, and scope of the repair.
- A two-part polyurethane solution is injected with air pressure through the holes.
- As the two parts are injected through the holes, a chemical reaction begins within seconds, creating the expanding polyurethane foam.
- The foam fills the voids underneath the surface while stabilizing loose and poorly compacted soil.
- This process lifts the sunken areas of your basement floors within minutes to hours at most. Our expert team will inject enough material until the desired height is achieved and your floors are back to their original position.
- The injection holes are filled with a high-density cementitious grout, blending in the injection sites as closely as possible to the rest of your basement floor.
- And the best part, you get a lifetime warranty on any future settlement!

What Causes Basement Floor Settlement?
Basement floors often fail due to a combination of poor drainage around the foundation of the home and loose soils created when the area around the foundation was originally excavated. Without proper compaction, the loose soils near the foundation and under the basement floor settle and compact over time, causing the slabs to fail.

INTERIOR SIGNS OF FOUNDATION FAILURE
While some sunken basement floors might be extremely obvious, there are times when other signs within your home can indicate that the foundation of your home is moving as well. Here are some signs that your foundation might be failing:
- Sagging & Uneven Floors
- Cracked & Bowed Walls
- Doors & Windows Not Opening Properly
- Cracking Drywall
- Popping Sounds
If you’re noticing any of these signs in your home, it’s time to call the pros. The sooner you have your basement floors looked at, the more likely concrete leveling and foundation repairs will be more cost-effective and far less invasive than having to do a total replacement.
EXTERIOR SIGNS OF FOUNDATION FAILURE
While you’re currently focused on your basement floor and making sure it gets fixed in a timely manner, it’s also important to pay attention to the exterior of your home to catch any signs of a failing foundation before it gets too bad. Here’s some signs to pay attention to:
- Stair-Stepping in Bricks
- Cracks in the Foundation
- Sagging Roof Lines
- Bowing & Leaning Walls
- Leaning Chimneys
- Crooked Garage Frames
Liftech can address the issues you are having, whether with the floor itself or the surrounding structure. We will also work with you to improve the drainage around your home, and when addressed properly, your basement can be enjoyed for many, many more years!

Basement Floor Leveling Cost
As a homeowner, you have a lot of expenses around the house. When doing research on concrete leveling, it can look like an expensive investment to fix the sunken areas of your basement floor. However, when you review all of your options, you’ll realize that replacing your basement floors is far more expensive and invasive than polyurethane concrete lifting. To give you an idea of pricing, here’s a breakdown of what the cost would be to repair, replace, or ignore your sunken basement floors:
| Type of Repair | Average Cost to Repair | Average Cost to Replace | Savings from Repairs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Driveways | $1,200 | $8,000 | $6,800 |
| Garage Floor | $1,200 | $5,000 | $3,800 |
| Back Patio | $1,000 | $4,500 | $3,500 |
| Front Porch | $895 | $4,000 | $3,005 |
| Basement Floor | $1,500 | $10,000 | $8,500 |
| Interior Floor | $1,500 | $10,000 | $8,500 |
The longer you ignore foundation problems,
THE MORE EXPENSIVE AND DEVASTATING THEY BECOME.
Don’t let other concrete contractors convince you that a full replacement is the only solution to your failing basement floor. A replacement can take anywhere from one week to three weeks to complete. That involves having limited access to your home for that duration of time and having to deal with scheduling times for the concrete crew to come out and pour the concrete. In addition to the pain of coordinating that process, replacing the concrete in your basement can cost you tens of thousands of dollars when all is said and done. And what if your basement is already finished? You should avoid replacement at all costs!
When you decide to repair your concrete with polyurethane, you will pay a fraction of the price it takes to replace the concrete and have a long-lasting, reliable solution to enjoy for decades. Trust Liftech, your local concrete leveling contractors, to fix your sunken basement floors at an affordable price.
FAQ's About Concrete Leveling?
Now that you’re aware of the process and benefits of having your basement floors leveled with polyurethane, you might have some other questions arise as you get closer to scheduling your service, and that’s okay! We at Liftech are here to help educate you on the process and provide you with all the information you need. There are several questions customers often ask us, including:
How long will my project take?
Depending on the size of the project, polyurethane concrete leveling can take a few hours or a full day. To put it in perspective, other techniques such as replacing the concrete completely, can take several weeks. Our professional team will provide quality work and leave your home cleaner than we found it and in a timely manner.
How long does concrete leveling take to set?
At Liftech, we know that you’re anxious to have your basement floors repaired and ready to enjoy again. Your basement floors will be serviceable again within 15 minutes after we complete the process!
Will my concrete move after being leveled?
At Liftech, we know the reason you’re investing time and money into leveling your basement floor is to fix your current problem and prevent the same problems from arising down the road. As Colorado homeowners, it’s important to know that Colorado soil has a high density of clay, which is particularly prone to movement. The soil around and underneath your home will “breathe” – in other words, it will rise and fall naturally due to the composition of the soil. The good news is that when you decide to have a concrete stabilization system installed, such as polyurethane concrete leveling, you will have nothing to worry about and your repairs will typically include a warranty against resettlement.
THE PROBLEM
As you now know, Colorado soil has a high density of clay, making it prone to expansion and contraction. When contraction happens, the soils will eventually fall, causing settlement in your basement floor.
THE SOLUTION
No home is the same, and all soil settles and expands differently due to various factors. At Liftech, we thoroughly assess each project individually to design and implement a concrete repair that will last for many years to come. Our advanced process will raise your basement floor while simultaneously stabilizing the soil to prevent failure in the future.
THE RESULT
Within minutes of our expert team injecting polyurethane underneath your basement floor, you can enjoy your space like normal. The curing process, depending on the size of the project, will be completed within 15 minutes. You can now enjoy your basement once again for many more years to come!
