Cracked, sinking, and uneven concrete is all too common for homeowners in Florida and Georgia. Alpha Foundations can lift and restore your concrete to help eliminate trip hazards and pooling water problems.

Cracked Concrete
Cracked concrete often detracts from homes, causing both aesthetic and safety issues. We offer dependable concrete lifting services.
Sinking Concrete Slab
A sinking concrete slab poses a risk to safety and signals underlying problems, potentially compromising your entire property.

Causes of Concrete Lifting and Sinking
Concrete will crack when it sinks into underlying soil that has compressed or washed away. Once it cracks, moisture seeps in, widening the gap even more.
Tree Roots and Concrete Damage
Many species of trees have invasive root systems that can damage the integrity of your foundation. Learn how soil aids this process and how to spot the signs.
Concrete Isn’t Flexible
When concrete is exposed to intense pressure, it will crack. Concrete does not have the capacity to stretch, and concrete problems can occur as a result.
Deep Foundation Soils
Surface soils can become weak due to weather or weight, but the deepest soils are sturdy. Here is a quick overview.
Poorly Compacted Soil
During your home's construction process, fill soil may have been transported from outside sources. Sometimes, this fill soil is compacted poorly and causes your exterior concrete slabs to sink. Learn more about soil and compaction in this article.

I contacted Alpha Foundations about a brick patio that had a significant dip across the middle. Josh came out and gave an estimate and the repair was scheduled.There was good communication with the company, confirming time and who would be coming to do the actual repairs.Brandon and Huntercame and began the process to lift the slab. Brandon was upfront about the challenge concerning lifting the concrete while not causing more damage to the brick overlay. He gave realistic scenarios. The patio was almost unusable prior. It is now functional again. I am very pleased with the outcome and would recommend Alpha Foundation without any reservations.

Would definitely recommend Alpha! I had a good bit of work done to the crawlspace of my home – five jacks, two sistered joists, and a drain system with sump pumps installed. From the start I felt really comfortable with Alpha. My salesperson, Zack Long, was excellent and so helpful with all the questions I had. The team followed up with me the week before the job started to let me know when they would arrive and to run over the specs. Keith, Miguel, and Jake could not have been more efficient throughout the whole install. Clean up was perfect and they added a few thoughtful touches that I really appreciated. Even more, since I had an electrician coming out the next day Keith and the team made sure the area where they’d be working was dry and clean so that part would go smoothly as well. I don’t think I could have asked for a better crew!Great experience start to finish. Thank you!

I have been trying to decide on replacing concrete or using Alpha Foundations for a couple of years. Well I can tell you now, It is a no brainer. I am glad I chose Alpha Foundations after a few hours, my concrete around my pool is back to it's original state before the cracking and settling. I will recommend Alpha Foundations to everyone for sure!The costumer service was very satisfying. My crew Alex Fante was the very professional and explained each step to me and they did a great job!!

Everyone I worked with at Alpha Foundations were great to work with, the initial inspector Tyler was extremely knowledgeable and explained the issues I was experiencing with my home. He didn't try to upsell anything and was thorough in explaining my options. The day before the install, the crew foreman, Donald, reached out to me to touch base and introduce himself. The day of the install, Donald and his crew arrived, introduced themselves, and immediately began working. The crew worked at an incredible pace and were happy to answer any questions I had throughout the install. Once the install was complete, they did a phenomenal job cleaning up the area. The warranty offered is outstanding. While I hope I will not need foundation work at any future houses, if I do, I will be using Alpha Foundations and their team. My experience with Alpha Foundations was top notch.

Have to give it to Alpha Foundations – we scheduled our repair and Tyler even reached out to us to come a few days earlier. My husband is in the rehab/construction business and he said Tyler, Ryan and Drew were polite, informative and completed their work exceptionally well. They even put up with our grand dog (Roscoe), who had to be involved in the inspection process. Thank you Alpha Foundations for improving our foundation! The Davenports……..

I would highly recommend this company – I am a property manager in Sarasota/Bradenton area and found this company at my NARPM event. They were extremely informative and went to my rental properties quickly once we discussed the problem we are having. Many of my property are raised homes with crawl spaces and having soft flooring issues. Alpha Foundations was prompt and the level of expertise exceeded my expectations! The tech Jonathan Hutsell communicated with myself, my owner and the tenants very well. I am very impressed and plan to be using them in the future. I would recommend over and over again!

Concrete Driveway Repair
Our esteemed professionals are trained to find the right solution for your driveway concrete so you can get right back to using it as usual.
Is PolyRenewal™ the right solution for me?
When you’re dealing with cracked, settling, or uneven concrete, you have two options: replace the slab or invest in a concrete repair service like concrete lifting. Concrete lifting with polyurethane foam such as PolyRenewal™ can repair your concrete quickly and with minimal disruption to your daily life.
- It’s an affordable, permanent, and waterproof solution.
- PolyRenewal™ reaches its final strength and can support weight in just 15 minutes. Other repair options take an entire day.
- It’s environmentally friendly, meaning it does not release harmful chemicals into the soil.
- Contractors can be precise about what and where concrete is lifted.
FAQ
PolyRenewal cures very quickly. In fact, you can drive your car over a driveway slab just 15 minutes after it’s been lifted with PolyRenewal.
Contact us for a free inspection. One of our design specialists will come to your home and inspect your concrete. He or she will then sit down with you and explain what caused your issues, how they can be fixed and exactly what it will cost.
PolyRenewal is cost-effective because it offers a solution that is long-lasting, unlike mudjacking and slab replacement. And your concrete will never cost less to repair than it does right now.
Yes. PolyRenewal is made from an environmentally friendly material that is waterproof and won’t degrade over time. This means it won’t leach harmful chemicals into the surrounding soil.
No. PolyRenewal™ is a proprietary product developed by Groundworks and is available exclusively from Alpha Foundations and other Groundworks companies.
Why PolyRenewal™ Is Needed
There are various reasons your exterior concrete slabs sink. However, before PolyRenewal™, there were two basic options for lifting concrete: mud jacking and slab replacement. Both approaches have limitations and disadvantages. PolyRenewal™ offers many advantages over traditional concrete lifting methods:
PolyRenewal vs. Replacement
Replacing a concrete slab is both expensive and disruptive. Concrete slabs can take days – or even weeks – to cure. And even then, since the root cause of uneven concrete wasn’t addressed, the new slabs are likely to sink again. PolyRenewal™ material is lightweight, so it won’t add weight to weak soil. Best of all, PolyRenewal™ allows for the use of concrete within hours, not weeks.
Common Concrete Lifting Tips & Mistakes
Concrete Lifting Tips
- Look For A Waterproof Solution
Florida is no stranger to rain. Unfortunately, all this rain can cause the soil under exterior concrete slabs to wash out. When looking for a repair, choose a waterproof solution that won’t wash out even in the worst of storms.
- Cure Time Is Important
Although cure time may seem like nothing to consider, a lot can happen while you wait for concrete to set. If it rains on fresh concrete or concrete that has been mud jacked recently, there are serious negative results. PolyRenewal™ has a cure time of only 15 minutes.
- Consider The Mess
The equipment required to install other methods of concrete lifting can be large and heavy. This kind of machinery can tear up your lawn and landscaping and make it difficult to use when accessing specific locations. Consider an alternative that uses compact and transportable solutions.
Concrete Lifting Mistakes
- Using Self Leveling Concrete
DIY concrete lifting is not something we can recommend. Self-leveling concrete can sound alluring but is very tricky to use. One huge mistake is using warm water, causing the concrete to set too quickly and creating bubbles and bumps.
- Assuming All Concrete is Equal
Attempting to pour your own concrete takes a lot of preparation. The concrete alone requires a precise mixture of three ingredients — cement, water, aggregates (i.e., sand and gravel). Depending on where the concrete is being poured, different rations of dry ingredients are needed, as well as differing amounts of water.
- Slab Thickness Matters
Concrete used in different areas needs to be different thicknesses. For example, a sidewalk slab should be four inches thick, while a driveway slab should be eight to ten inches thick.
