A sunken or tipped sidewalk panel is a trip hazard, and in Grand Rapids the abutting owner is responsible for sidewalk repair.
Driveways that settle at either end leave ridges that catch tires and collect water.
Steps that settle lean away from the house and leave a gap at the foundation.
Low spots hold water, and freezing makes the settling worse.
Real Foamjection lifts on the kinds of slabs we fix for Grand Rapids homeowners. Small holes, no tear-out.
Foamjection is powered by HMI, which provides the equipment, training and systems behind every lift. Here’s what you can expect when you call us about your Grand Rapids concrete:
Drill Small HolesOur crew drills small 5/8″ holes in key areas of the slab.
Inject High-Density Polyurethane FoamThis is the core of polyurethane concrete lifting — the foam expands beneath the slab, fills voids, stabilizes loose soils, and delivers a controlled slab lifting process.
Patch & Use the Same DayOnce the slab reaches the correct height, holes are patched and the area is often ready to use within hours.
Tell us what’s sinking and where. A local pro will follow up with a free, no-pressure estimate.
The Grand Rapids area sits on glacial deposits, including sandy outwash and old lake-bed sediments along the Grand River and its tributaries, over bedrock, according to the USGS.
Sandy soil drains quickly, but it also washes out easily when downspouts or heavy rain send water under the edge of a slab. Add Michigan freeze-thaw cycles, and empty spaces open up under driveways, walks and steps. Foam fills those spaces and firms up the soil.

Every service below uses the same foam lifting process, sized to the slab. Not sure which one you need? Describe the problem on the estimate form and a local pro will help you figure it out.
Under City policy, the owner of the abutting property is responsible for sidewalk repair, with options to pay over several annual installments and help for qualified low-income owner-occupants. Work in the right-of-way needs a permit. See the City of Grand Rapids sidewalk repair policy.
If the panel is in one piece and the problem is a height difference, lifting may be an option. Ask about it during your estimate, and check City permit requirements before working on a public sidewalk.
Yes. Foamjection also serves Wyoming, Walker, Kentwood, Grandville, Hudsonville and Rockford. You’ll find links to each area at the bottom of this page.
Keep water away from slab edges so less of it washes soil out or freezes underneath. Extend downspouts and keep gutters clear.
