How Concrete Lifting Saves Businesses Thousands in Repairs and Downtime
When commercial properties experience sinking or even concrete, the consequences can be costly. From liability risks to operational disruptions, it can be difficult to find room in the budget and the time to address these issues quickly. Traditional concrete replacement is expensive and time-consuming, while methods like mudjacking that come with lower costs and less downtime than replacement just pushes the problem off and doesn’t address the root causes that created the problem in the first place.
At Concrete PolyFix, we specialize in polyurethane concrete lifting, a modern method that stabilizes and levels concrete with minimal disruption. Below we’ll explore the financial advantages of concrete lifting compared to replacement, examine some real-world cost savings, and highlight why businesses and municipalities should consider this long-term solution.
The Financial Benefits of Concrete Lifting vs. Replacement
- Cost Savings
Concrete replacement requires demolition, removal, new material, labor, and extensive curing time. Depending on the size of the project, this can cost businesses thousands of dollars.Concrete lifting is a targeted solution that raises sunken slabs by injecting a specialized polyurethane foam beneath the surface. This process eliminates the need for removal and new concrete pouring, reducing overall expenses. Businesses can save on average up to 50% compared to the full replacement cost. - Reduced Downtime
For commercial facilities and municipalities, time is money. Replacing concrete can take days or even weeks, disrupting operations, foot traffic, and safety compliance. Opting for concrete lifting can drastically reduce this downtime, usually allowing normal operations to resume the same day. - Minimal Disruption and Environmental Impact
Replacing concrete is invasive, involving heavy machinery, excavation, and waste disposal. In contrast, concrete lifting preserves the existing infrastructure and requires only a few drilled holes to inject polyurethane foam. This method is environmentally friendly and prevents unnecessary destruction of landscaping, adjacent structures, and underground utilities.
