Sidewalk & Driveway Lifting
Your sunken sidewalk or driveway does not have to be torn out and repoured. Using PolyLevel® concrete lifting, DBS raises existing slabs back to their original position, eliminating trip hazards and pooling water with almost no disruption. A sunken sidewalk can be made level again in as little as 15 minutes.
Raise the Slab You Have Instead of Paying for a New One
Erosion from rainwater and gutter runoff, rotted tree roots, and poorly compacted fill all create voids beneath walkway and driveway slabs. The concrete sinks into the empty space, creating raised edges, cracks, and low spots that pool water. Heavy loads, like an RV parked in the same spot, accelerate the sinking.
DBS Repair lifts the existing slab with PolyLevel®: high-density polyurethane injected through small holes spreads beneath the concrete, raises it to its original position, and stabilizes the soil so the problem does not return. There is almost no waiting before you can walk or drive on it, while replacement concrete needs about a day to cure.

Concrete Lifting vs Tear-Out and Repour
Surface patches do not fix the settlement underneath, and DIY repairs can leave a driveway unusable for up to 30 days. Here is how professional lifting compares with replacement.
Traditional methods
Remove & Replace
Heavy equipment damages grass and landscaping during demolition and removal. New concrete takes about a day to cure before light use. Higher cost and longer project time. Does nothing to fix the weak soil, so the new slab can settle the same way.
Recommended Solutions
PolyLevel® Lifting
Small holes, no demolition, no landscape damage. Slab is raised in minutes and usable within a day or sooner; sidewalks can be level in 15 minutes. Costs less, takes less time, and the expanding foam strengthens the soil so the slab will not sink again.
