GARAGE FLOOR LEVELING

Home » Residential » Garage Floor Leveling

An uneven garage floor can be unsightly, add inconvenience to your daily activities and create safety hazards. Concrete garage floor leveling with polyurethane foam is an attractive and fast-curing option for addressing uneven concrete, restoring both function and aesthetics.

Why Does Flooring Become Uneven?

Concrete flooring can provide years of reliable performance with proper care, but several factors can impact longevity. Uneven concrete flooring can result from:

Natural and environmental causes: Natural factors like temperature changes and soil compaction can cause parts of concrete flooring to crack or sink. Some soils expand when wet and compact when dry, causing shifts that impact the concrete. Tree roots can also grow under garage floors, causing some sections to lift over time.
Water damage: Water erosion can impact the soil beneath your foundation, and freeze-thaw cycles can cause concrete to crack. Poor drainage, leaking pipes and flooding can allow water to pool around or under your concrete, leading to increased water damage.
Heavy use: Like many areas of a home, a garage can experience wear after frequent and heavy use. Garage floors consistently support the weight of heavy vehicles and may also face additional stress from equipment vibrations or tools dropping onto the concrete.
Poor installation or maintenance: For some homeowners, the problem lies with the initial installation or poor maintenance practices. Improper base preparation or inadequate reinforcement can make the concrete more prone to shifting and cracking.

Using Polyurethane for a Concrete Garage Floor

Polyurethane foam is a modern and efficient solution for uneven concrete floors. Foam injections minimize downtime and environmental impact, allowing you to choose a more sustainable solution with confidence. Injections are also far less invasive and resource-intensive than full replacements, which means you can save time and money while restoring your garage floor.

The Garage Floor Leveling Process

Foam injections are highly durable, minimally invasive and more cost-effective than replacements. Professionals can complete most foam leveling projects within a few hours, and you can continue using the garage floor almost immediately after project completion. The leveling process is also less disruptive to your routine and requires fewer tools than demolition and replacement work. The leveling process generally consists of:

Assessment: Your contractor will inspect the concrete to determine underlying issues and identify cracks and low spots.
Drilling: The team will drill small holes in strategic locations for the foam injections.
Injection: Specialized equipment injects the polyurethane foam, which expands below the surface to lift and level the concrete.
Monitoring: The contractor will monitor the lift in real time and apply precise injections as necessary to bring the concrete to its original level.
Sealing: Once the concrete is level, your team will seal the injection holes, leaving a smooth surface that is ready for use.

DIY vs. Professional Concrete Garage Floor Lifting

Concrete lifting is not a DIY task. Large cracks, uneven slabs, sinking sections, and recurring issues all require professional evaluation and correction. Only trained technicians have the equipment, materials, and expertise to identify underlying soil or structural problems and deliver a lasting solution.

Professional floor leveling ensures your slab is properly assessed, lifted safely, and stabilized for long-term performance. Relying on experts protects your home, prevents costly future damage, and guarantees the job is done right the first time.
