Uneven concrete at strip malls can affect customer safety, tenant access, and the overall appearance of the property. Settled slabs create trip hazards near storefronts, uneven walkways, and drainage issues that allow water to collect near entrances. These conditions increase liability risk and can impact how customers and tenants experience the property.
Foamjection lifts sunken concrete slabs back into position without removing or replacing the concrete. Our polyurethane concrete lifting process restores support beneath walkways, storefront approaches, and common areas—helping maintain safe access, improve drainage, and keep businesses open with minimal disruption.
Concrete at strip malls sinks when the soil beneath it loses strength. Common causes include:
As support weakens, slabs settle unevenly and conditions continue to worsen.
You may need concrete leveling if you notice:
Addressing these issues early helps improve safety and protect tenants and customers.
If surrounding areas are also affected, parking lot leveling, interior floor leveling, or loading docks & ramps may be needed to restore consistent height and support across the property.
Foamjection levels strip mall concrete by injecting high-density polyurethane foam beneath the slab. The foam expands to fill voids, lift the concrete, and restore firm support below the surface.
Most strip mall leveling projects are completed efficiently, and many areas are ready for use the same day.
Property owners choose concrete leveling because it fixes uneven surfaces without closing businesses or replacing concrete. Lifting restores safe walkways, improves drainage, and helps reduce liability.
For intact but uneven concrete, leveling is often the most practical solution.
Settlement usually happens when soil beneath walkways and storefronts erodes, compacts unevenly, or washes out due to poor drainage. Vehicle traffic, foot traffic, and changing weather conditions can speed up this process over time.
Most projects are completed quickly, in just a few hours. No mess. No down time. Just level, safe concrete.
Yes. Leveling lifts sunken slabs to eliminate uneven edges and height changes that create trip hazards near doors, sidewalks, and common walkways. This helps improve customer safety and reduce liability risks.
In many cases, no. Work can often be completed in sections to maintain access to storefronts. We do our best to work around tenant schedules and keep businesses open during the repair process.
The access holes are small and placed carefully. After lifting, they are patched to blend with the surrounding concrete. While they may be visible up close, they are minimal compared to the surface changes caused by replacement.
Yes. By lifting low areas, leveling helps restore proper slope so water drains away from storefronts and walkways instead of pooling near entrances.
In most cases, leveling does not significantly impact existing markings. The slab itself is raised rather than resurfaced. Minor touch-ups may be needed in some areas, but this is far less disruptive than restriping after full replacement.
Yes. Uneven concrete can create accessibility issues along walkways and entry routes. Leveling helps reduce abrupt height changes and improve surface continuity, supporting safer and more accessible paths.
