Bloomington Concrete Experts : Driveways, Patios, Foundations, Stamped Concrete & Leveling for Commercial & Residential
Bloomington Concrete Experts is the Twin Cities metro's trusted source for residential and commercial concrete work, backed by more than 20 years of hands-on experience throughout Bloomington and the surrounding communities. We install driveways, patios, walkways, foundations, garage slabs, and pool decks for homeowners, and deliver commercial foundations, warehouse floors, parking lots, ADA-compliant sidewalks, and trip hazard removal for businesses, property managers, and developers. Located minutes from the Mall of America and the busy I-494 corridor, we serve Bloomington, Richfield, Edina, Eden Prairie, Burnsville, and Eagan with the same licensed crew, the same materials, and the same exacting standards on every project.
The most common concrete failures in Minnesota — surface scaling after the first winter, frost heave cracking, and premature settling — almost always trace back to the same root causes: insufficient air entrainment in the mix, inadequate base preparation, and shortcuts taken during cold-weather pours. Our crews use ACI 318-compliant air-entrained concrete mixes, 6 to 8 inches of compacted granular base on Bloomington's clay-heavy glacial soils, and precision control joint placement to build surfaces that hold up through Minnesota's 55-plus annual freeze-thaw cycles and heavy road salt exposure for decades. Whether you're choosing a classic broom finish, custom stamped patterns, exposed aggregate, or integral color, our project coordinators handle all required Bloomington Building Division and Engineering Division permits from submission to final inspection sign-off.

Comprehensive Concrete Solutions
Commercial Concrete Services
We pour foundations, parking lots, warehouse floors, and ADA-compliant walkways for offices, retail centers, and industrial facilities across the Twin Cities metro. Our licensed crews manage permits, inspections, and code compliance on every commercial project.
Residential Concrete Services
From new driveway installations and patio construction to concrete leveling and walkway replacement, we handle every concrete surface around your home. Our residential work is backed by a written workmanship warranty covering materials and labor.
Decorative and Specialty Concrete
We offer stamped concrete, integral color,
exposed aggregate, and acid-stained finishes that transform standard slabs into
custom outdoor living spaces. Every decorative pour uses the same
freeze-thaw-resistant mixes as our structural flatwork.
Our Commercial Concrete Services
Commercial Foundations
Bloomington Concrete Experts designs and pours structural foundations for office developments in the Normandale Lake District, retail expansions near American Boulevard, and industrial facilities along the I-494 corridor and Highway 77. Our engineering team handles structural load calculations and the 42-inch minimum frost depth required by Minnesota Rule 1303.1600 for all Hennepin County footings — ensuring every foundation is engineered from the ground up for Minnesota's freeze-thaw conditions and expansive glacial clay subgrade. Cutting corners on foundation depth is the most expensive mistake a commercial property owner can make in this climate. When footings are set too shallow, frost heave forces in saturated clay soils can lift and crack entire foundation walls over a single winter. Our crews excavate to code depth, bear on undisturbed soil, install perforated drain tile and filter membrane at the footing level, and waterproof the exterior below grade — protecting against hydrostatic pressure and moisture intrusion before a single structural load is applied.
Parking Lot Construction
We design and pour concrete parking lots for shopping centers along American Boulevard, hotel properties in Bloomington's South Loop District near the Mall of America, and office parks surrounding Normandale Lake. Before the first form goes down, our team maps drainage slope, joint layout, and structural thickness based on your expected vehicle loads — eliminating the pooling water and surface failure that plague parking areas built without proper subgrade engineering.
Concrete parking lots cost more upfront than asphalt, but they last 30 to 40 years with minimal maintenance versus asphalt's typical 15 to 20 year cycle of resurfacing and patching. We pour to ACI 330 standards with maximum 15-foot joint spacing, a minimum 6-inch slab thickness for light commercial use, and F3-class air-entrained mixes that resist deicing salt attack through Minnesota winters.
Warehouse and Industrial Flooring
Our installation crews pour high-performance industrial floor slabs for logistics facilities near Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, manufacturing operations along Highway 77, and commercial warehouses throughout Bloomington's I-494 industrial zones. We use laser screed leveling to achieve FF 50 / FL 35 floor flatness tolerances
required for narrow-aisle forklift operations — the kind of precision that hand-screeded floors cannot deliver consistently across large commercial pours.
Every warehouse slab we install uses macro fiber-reinforced concrete with minimum 4,000 PSI compressive strength, a dry-shake surface hardener for forklift abrasion resistance, and a penetrating silane sealer to block oil, grease, and chemical spills from penetrating the surface. Contractors who skip fiber reinforcement save less than a dollar per square foot at the time of pour and hand the property owner a slab full of
random cracks within three years of heavy forklift traffic
Commercial Sidewalks and Walkways
We install commercial walkways and pedestrian access routes for retail centers, office parks, and multi-tenant properties across Bloomington's high-traffic commercial districts, including the Penn American District along American Boulevard and the South Loop near the Mall of America. Every pour is graded to a minimum 2% drainage slope to direct stormwater away from building entrances, and all exterior surfaces receive a stiff broom finish to maintain slip resistance through Minnesota's wet spring and icy fall transition periods.
Our installation team works to MnDOT flatwork specifications — Mix 3F52, 6.5% target air entrainment, 4,000 PSI — for all sidewalks within or adjacent to the public right-of-way, and coordinates the Bloomington Engineering Division form inspection required 24 hours before any concrete placement in the ROW so your project doesn't stall waiting on a city inspector who wasn't called.
ADA Compliance Concrete Modifications
Minnesota Building Code Chapter 1341 adopts the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design and adds state-specific provisions that are more stringent than federal minimums in several applications. Our project team reviews your existing ramps, curb cuts, and pedestrian routes against the 2% maximum cross-slope, 1:12 maximum ramp slope, and 60-by-60-inch landing requirements — identifying every point of non- compliance before it becomes a Title III enforcement action or a costly accessibility lawsuit.
Following the assessment, our crews modify or reconstruct your concrete access routes to full compliance, including precise slope corrections, compliant curb ramp transitions, and non-slip broom-finish surfaces that meet the firm, stable, slip-resistant surface requirements of ADA Section 302. We handle all required permits and coordinate the final Bloomington Building Division inspection before the project closes.
Commercial Concrete Repair and Trip Hazard Removal
You don't always need full demolition and replacement to fix damaged commercial concrete. Whether frost heave has lifted a panel in a Bloomington industrial yard, clay soil settlement has cracked a loading dock apron, or heavy vehicle traffic has deteriorated a warehouse approach, our repair team diagnoses the root cause before applying a fix — because grinding down a lifted joint without addressing the drainage or
subgrade issue just means the same panel lifts again next spring.
For raised sidewalk lips and shallow surface cracks, we use precision diamond grinding and polyurethane crack injection to restore a smooth, safe surface without full panel replacement. For slabs with structural voids beneath them, polyurethane foam lifting corrects elevation differences and fills subsurface voids in a single visit — typically within hours, with the area open to pedestrian traffic the same day.
Our Residential Concrete Services
Driveway Installation
Bloomington Concrete Experts installs concrete driveways that fit the character of established neighborhoods throughout the city — from the mid-century ranch homes in the Penn Lake area to newer construction near Hyland Lake Park Reserve in west Bloomington. Every driveway starts with 6 to 8 inches of compacted Class 5 aggregate base on Bloomington's
clay-heavy glacial till soils, because the single most common cause of residential driveway cracking in Minnesota isn't the winter — it's the base that wasn't built to handle it.
Our mixes meet ACI 318 F3 exposure requirements with 6% air entrainment and a maximum 0.40 water-cement ratio — producing a surface that resists the road salt and freeze-thaw cycling that causes the surface scaling and edge cracking you see on driveways installed without those specifications. Choose from a classic broom finish, exposed river rock aggregate, integral color, or a custom stamped pattern — every option is available in the same structural mix.
Patio Construction
A well-designed backyard patio is one of the most-used surfaces on a residential property — it needs to drain correctly, hold up to outdoor furniture and foot traffic, and look as good in year ten as it did the day it was poured. Our installation team designs every patio with a minimum 2% slope away from the house to keep Minnesota's spring snowmelt moving away from your foundation rather than pooling against it — a detail that matters more in Bloomington's clay soil than almost anywhere else in the metro.
We've installed patios for homeowners backing up to the wooded corridors near Hyland-Bush-Anderson Lakes Park Reserve and for homeowners on open lots where strong summer sun and winter freezes cycle the surface through extreme temperature ranges. In both environments, the mix is the same: F3-spec air- entrained concrete with a 5,000 PSI minimum strength, and an isolation joint at the house foundation that prevents frost heave forces from transferring directly into your structure.
Concrete Leveling
Sunken or uneven concrete doesn't always need to be replaced. When a slab has settled due to clay soil shrinkage, erosion, or a subsurface void — all common in Bloomington's glacial till subgrade — polyurethane foam lifting restores it to grade in a single visit without the mess, cost, and curing time of full replacement. We drill 5/8-inch injection holes through the slab, inject an expanding structural foam that fills the void and lifts the panel, then patch the holes — typically within two to four hours for a standard residential project.
We use polyurethane foam rather than traditional mudjacking for most Bloomington leveling projects because cement-based slurry can wash out in the freeze-thaw environment and adds weight to a subgrade that may already be compromised. Polyurethane foam is waterproof, lightweight, and reaches full bearing strength within 30 minutes. Common candidates for leveling: settled driveway aprons at the garage entrance, sunken patio slabs, lifted walkway panels, and pool deck sections that have settled away from the coping.
Walkways and Pathways
Concrete walkways connect the different surfaces around your property — the driveway, front entry, patio, and side yard — and when they're designed well, they make a property feel finished and easy to move through. Our site supervisor maps out the flow with you before any work begins, reviewing slope, grade changes, and connection points to existing concrete to ensure the new sections match elevation and drain correctly.
Every exterior walkway gets a stiff broom finish perpendicular to the direction of travel — the same non-slip texture specification used by MnDOT on public pedestrian routes — because smooth-troweled exterior concrete becomes a slip hazard when wet or iced. Control joints are cut every 8 to 10 feet to give the slab room to move through Minnesota's annual temperature swing of more than 100 degrees without random cracking.
Why Choose Bloomington Concrete Experts for Your Next Project?
Bloomington Concrete Experts built its reputation by doing something that sounds simple but too often isn't: showing up on time, using the right materials, and finishing the job exactly as described. We stripped out the practices that make homeowners and business owners distrust contractors — vague estimates, mid- project upsells, and sub-standard crews who disappear after the pour. What's left is a straightforward professional process that delivers a surface built to last,
backed by a written workmanship warranty covering materials and labor.
Twenty years in the Twin Cities has given us a working knowledge of Bloomington's concrete environment that no amount of general construction experience can substitute for. We know how the expansive Minnetonka-series clay soils in Bloomington's low-lying areas behave differently from the coarser Eden Prairie-series outwash soils in the western neighborhoods, and we adjust base specifications accordingly. We know the Bloomington Engineering Division's 24-hour form inspection requirement for right-of-way work, and we schedule it as a matter of course so your project never stalls waiting on a city call that wasn't made.
On site, our standards are specific and non-negotiable: forms are set to grade before any concrete is ordered; base compaction is verified before the truck arrives; expansion joints are placed at every fixed structure before the pour begins; and every slab gets a broom finish on exterior surfaces regardless of how long it takes. The site is cleaned before we leave each day — no debris, no concrete washout on the lawn, no leftover forms leaning against your fence for a week.
Most of the homeowners and business owners who call us have already dealt with a contractor who made the job sound simple, disappeared during the hard parts, and left them with a cracked or settled slab by the following spring. We know how exhausting that experience is, and it's exactly why our process is built the way it is — upfront written estimates, clear scope, no surprises after the pour, and a crew that picks up the phone when you call. We're a local business in a city where our work is visible every day, and we treat every project like the next homeowner driving by Old Shakopee Road is a potential client — because they probably are.
How the Concrete Installation Process Works
Step 1: Site Visit and Scope Assessment
A project supervisor visits your property to assess existing conditions — drainage patterns, soil stability, proximity to the foundation, and any existing concrete to be tied into or removed. You'll leave the visit with a clear picture of what the project requires, an honest assessment of any complications, and a realistic timeline. For commercial projects, we review the site plan and discuss permit requirements at this stage so nothing is discovered after work has started.
Step 2: Upfront Written Estimate
Within 48 hours of the site visit, you receive a written, itemized estimate that breaks down materials, labor, base preparation, and permit fees separately so you can see exactly what you're paying for. For decorative projects — stamped concrete, exposed aggregate, or colored finishes — we bring material samples and color options so you can approve the design before any concrete is ordered.
Step 3: Base and Subgrade Preparation
This is the step that separates a driveway that lasts 30 years from one that cracks by year five — and it's the step most competing contractors rush or skip. Our crew excavates to the required depth, removes all organic material and topsoil, places a non-woven geotextile fabric directly on the prepared clay subgrade, and compacts 6 to 8 inches of Class 5 aggregate in two lifts to 95% standard Proctor density. Forms are set to grade, rebar or wire mesh is placed per structural requirements, and the Bloomington Engineering Division inspection is completed before any concrete is ordered.
Step 4: The Pour and Finishing
We order concrete to the specification required for your project — F3-class air-entrained mix for all exterior flatwork, minimum 5,000 PSI for severe freeze-thaw exposure, 3-inch maximum slump for Bloomington right-of-way work. Large commercial slabs are laser-screeded for flatness; residential slabs are hand-screeded and bull-floated. Control joints are cut or tooled at correct spacing before the concrete stiffens. Exterior surfaces receive a stiff broom finish; interior warehouse floors are power-troweled to a dense, smooth grade. Curing compound or insulated blankets are applied immediately after finishing if temperatures are forecast to fall below 40°F within 24 hours.
Step 5: Inspection, Sealing, and Warranty
After the concrete has reached adequate strength, a supervisor walks the entire slab — every edge, every joint, every finish transition — against the agreed scope. For right-of-way work, the Bloomington city inspection is scheduled and completed before the project is closed. A penetrating silane-siloxane sealer is applied to all exterior flatwork to block chloride ion penetration and protect against Minnesota road salt. You receive a written workmanship warranty covering materials and labor, and a maintenance schedule that tells you exactly when to reseal to protect your investment.
Top Decorative Concrete Styles for Bloomington Homes and Properties
Stamped Concrete
Stamped concrete replicates the look of natural stone, slate, brick, or wood plank at a fraction of the cost of those materials — with none of the joint maintenance or frost heave settling problems that come with individual pavers on Minnesota's expansive clay soils. We press texture mats into the surface while the concrete is still plastic, creating depth and shadow lines that are cast into the slab itself, not applied as a coating that can peel or chip through freeze-thaw cycling.
Design flexibility is one of stamped concrete's
strongest advantages. We can combine two or more patterns in a single pour — a running bond border with a fan pattern field — and apply integral color, dry-shake color hardener, or a contrasting grout release to create a multi-tone finish. The options are wide enough to match virtually any exterior palette, from natural stone tones that complement the wooded lots near Hyland-Bush-Anderson Lakes to bold geometric patterns for modern commercial properties.
Stamped concrete takes a few additional hours
compared to standard flatwork because texturing and coloring must be completed before the concrete sets — and this step requires an experienced finisher who can read the concrete's stiffness correctly. We apply a penetrating sealer to all stamped exterior surfaces before winter to protect the color and texture from road salt and freeze-thaw damage, with a reapplication recommended every two to three years.
Colored Concrete Finishes
Colored concrete is available in three forms, each suited to different project types and aesthetic goals. Integral color is mixed into the concrete batch before pouring, so the color runs through the full depth of the slab — if the surface experiences minor scaling or is ground down for leveling, the color remains consistent. This makes integral color the most durable choice for exterior flatwork in Minnesota, where freeze-thaw cycling can damage the surface layer of a concrete that was improperly specified.
Acid staining and concrete dyes are applied to cured concrete and react chemically or penetrate the surface to produce translucent, variegated tones that solid color cannot achieve. Stains work best on clean, low water-cement ratio slabs — concrete installed to F3-class specifications absorbs stain more evenly and holds color better than older, porous surfaces. We assess the existing slab before recommending a stain application and do not apply stain to concrete with active moisture migration.
All colored concrete installations include a penetrating sealer application that enhances color depth and protects the surface from UV fading, road salt intrusion, and moisture. For integral color projects, we maintain a job record of the color mix proportions so future pours can be matched precisely if you expand the patio or add a walkway later.
Exposed Aggregate Surfaces
Exposed aggregate concrete reveals the natural stone within the mix by removing the top layer of cement paste before it fully hardens, leaving a textured surface of embedded rock that is naturally
slip-resistant, visually rich, and extremely durable. The texture is integral to the slab — it cannot wear off or peel — making exposed aggregate one of the best choices for pool decks, driveway aprons, and sidewalks where traction matters through Minnesota's wet spring and icy fall transition seasons.
The appearance of an exposed aggregate surface is driven almost entirely by the aggregate specified in the mix. Standard mixes use the crushed limestone and river gravel from Minnesota quarries; we can also
specify granite chips or colored glass aggregate for a custom look. Larger aggregate creates bolder texture with more pronounced shadow; smaller aggregate
produces a fine, consistent surface closer to a sandblasted finish.
We expose the aggregate by applying a surface retarder immediately after the pour and power-washing the surface the following day to remove the retarded paste while the interior concrete has fully
hardened. A penetrating sealer applied after washing brings out the stone color and protects the surface from chloride intrusion through Minnesota winters.

How Much Do Concrete Services Cost in the Twin Cities Metro?
Commercial Projects
Commercial foundations are priced by project based on building footprint, soil conditions, frost wall depth, and waterproofing scope. Most Twin Cities commercial foundation projects range from $25,000 to $80,000 and above. We provide custom pricing after an on-site assessment.
Concrete parking lot construction typically runs $5 to $10 per square foot. Per stall, budget $1,300 to $3,500 depending on grading requirements, drainage infrastructure, and whether curb and gutter is included. A concrete lot's 30 to 40 year service life makes it the lower-cost option versus asphalt when total lifecycle cost is calculated.
Warehouse flooring — standard fiber-reinforced industrial slabs — runs $7 to $10 per square foot. High-tolerance floors for narrow-aisle forklift operations, or specialty coated surfaces, range from $10 to $18 per square foot depending on flatness specification and surface hardener or sealer system.
ADA compliance modifications typically cost $4,000 to $10,000 per access point, depending on the scope of ramp reconstruction, the number of curb cut modifications, and existing site conditions. Commercial sidewalks and walkways to MnDOT 3F52 specification run $7 to $12 per square foot, including excavation, base prep, forming, and removal.
Residential Projects
Standard reinforced concrete driveways in the Twin Cities metro run $7 to $12 per square foot installed. Exposed aggregate adds $2 to $4 per square foot to the base price. Stamped concrete driveways range from $12 to $22 per square foot depending on pattern complexity and color count. Demolition and haul-away of an existing driveway adds approximately $1.50 to $2.50 per square foot.
Residential patio installation starts at $7 to $12 per square foot for standard concrete. Decorative finishes — stamped, stained, or exposed aggregate — range from $12 to $22 per square foot. A typical 400-square-foot patio runs $2,800 to $4,800 for standard concrete, or $4,800 to $8,800 for a premium decorative finish.
Polyurethane foam lifting (polyjacking) runs $5 to $25 per square foot depending on void depth and access. Most Bloomington residential leveling projects run $500 to $2,500 — significantly less than the $3,500 to $6,000-plus cost of full panel replacement. Traditional mudjacking is available at $3 to $6 per square foot for appropriate projects. Standard concrete walkway installation runs $6 to $12 per square foot, with custom stamped or aggregate finishes ranging from $10 to $20 per square foot.
We offer free on-site consultations and written estimates for projects throughout Bloomington, Richfield, Edina, Eden Prairie, Burnsville, and Eagan. Contact our team to schedule your walkthrough.

Residential and Commercial Concrete FAQs
We install and repair concrete driveways, patios, walkways, pool decks, garage floors, and front steps for homeowners throughout Bloomington and the surrounding metro. Our residential services include new pours, full replacement, concrete leveling using polyurethane foam injection, and decorative finishes including stamped concrete, exposed aggregate, and integral color. Every residential project is backed by a written workmanship warranty covering materials and labor.
Yes. Our commercial division handles foundations, parking lots, warehouse and industrial floors, commercial sidewalks, ADA compliance modifications, and trip hazard removal for office buildings, retail centers, manufacturing facilities, and logistics properties across the Twin Cities. We are fully licensed, carry general liability insurance and bonding, and manage the entire city permitting process — including Bloomington Building Division and Engineering Division filings — for every commercial project.
The most common causes of early concrete failure in Minnesota are inadequate base preparation, insufficient air entrainment in the mix, and improper joint spacing. We address all three: a minimum 6 to 8 inches of compacted Class 5 aggregate on geotextile fabric, ACI 318 F3-class mixes with 6% air entrainment and a maximum 0.40 water-cement ratio, and control joints cut at 8 to 12 foot intervals on residential flatwork. These aren't optional upgrades — they're the baseline specification on every project we pour.
We offer stamped concrete in dozens of pattern and color combinations, integral color mixed through the full slab depth, acid staining and concrete dyes for variegated finishes on cured slabs, and exposed aggregate using local river rock, granite, or custom stone blends. All
decorative concrete uses the same F3-class structural mix as our standard flatwork — the decorative treatment is applied to a properly engineered slab, not a shortcut mix.
Yes, for all work in or adjacent to the Bloomington right-of-way. The City of Bloomington Engineering Division (952-563-4870) requires a permit and a 24-hour-notice form inspection before any concrete is placed on driveways or approaches. For commercial work, the Building Division (952-563-8930) manages permits and inspections. Our project coordinators file all required paperwork and schedule inspections — you don't have to deal with city departments.
Standard reinforced concrete driveways in the Twin Cities metro run $7 to $12 per square foot installed. Stamped concrete driveways range from $12 to $22 per square foot depending on pattern complexity and color count. Exposed aggregate adds $2 to $4 per square foot to the base price. If the existing driveway needs to be removed first, demolition and haul-away typically adds $1.50 to $2.50 per square foot to the total.
Residential patios start at $7 to $12 per square foot for standard concrete. Premium decorative finishes — stamped patterns, integral color, exposed aggregate — run $12 to $22 per square foot. A typical 400-square-foot patio runs $2,800 to $4,800 for standard concrete. For pool decks, budget $8 to $15 per square foot for a standard broom finish, or $12 to $20 per square foot for exposed aggregate or a specialty texture that keeps the surface safe underfoot through wet Minnesota springs.
Yes. We assess your existing pedestrian access routes — ramps, curb cuts, landings, and sidewalks — against MN Building Code Chapter 1341 and the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. We then reconstruct or modify the concrete elements that fall out of compliance,
including precise slope corrections to meet the 1:12 maximum ramp grade and 2% maximum cross-slope requirements. Our team handles all required permits and the final city inspection before the project closes.
Residential driveways typically take one to three days from excavation to pour. Patios and pool decks run two to four days. Decorative and stamped projects take slightly longer because texturing and coloring steps must be completed while the concrete is still plastic. Commercial projects vary by scope — a warehouse floor pour may be a single day for the slab placement, but site work, forming, and inspection scheduling typically extend the total commercial project to one to two weeks.
Before any excavation begins, we mark all utility locate flags, protect landscaping near the work zone with temporary barriers, and set concrete forms with precision to contain the pour within the agreed boundaries. Concrete washout is contained and removed from your property — never washed into a lawn drain or municipal storm inlet. The site is cleaned at the end of every working day so your property is never left in disarray overnight.
New concrete should be kept free of deicing salts for the first full winter — this is the period of highest vulnerability to surface scaling regardless of mix design. After that, a penetrating silane-siloxane sealer applied every two to three years is the most effective single maintenance step for Minnesota exterior concrete. For driveways and patios, a simple sweep and occasional rinse is all that's needed between sealings. Control joints should be inspected annually and re-caulked with polyurethane sealant when they begin to open.
Our crews regularly work throughout Richfield, Edina, Eden Prairie, Burnsville, and Eagan — all of which border Bloomington directly. We also serve Minneapolis and other communities throughout the south and southwest Twin Cities metro. Every project outside our home base receives the same specifications, materials, and workmanship standards we apply in Bloomington.
Yes. Bloomington Concrete Experts carries general liability insurance and bonding on every project. For residential work contracted directly with homeowners, we hold the required Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry residential contractor licensing under MN Statute §326B.802, which covers masonry and concrete as a special skill. Every project is completed to Minnesota State Building Code standards and undergoes any required city inspection before the project is closed.
For slabs that have settled due to subsurface erosion, clay soil shrinkage, or void formation — all common in Bloomington's glacial till subgrade — we use polyurethane foam lifting: drilling 5/8-inch holes through the slab, injecting an expanding structural foam that fills the
void and lifts the panel to grade, then patching the holes. The foam reaches full bearing strength within 30 minutes and the area is typically open to vehicle traffic the same day. For trip hazard lips under one inch, precision diamond grinding restores a flush surface with no injection required.
