Burnaby, BC Concrete Lifting & Levelling
Restore Without Replacement
Revive Your Property's Concrete Surfaces with Professional Lifting Solutions
Is uneven concrete affecting your home’s safety and appearance? Across Burnaby—from the slopes of Capitol Hill to the flatter terrain of South Burnaby—shifting concrete surfaces have become an all-too-common issue for homeowners and businesses alike. Cracks forming between slabs, water pooling on driveways, and dangerous trip hazards on walkways compromise both safety and property value.
Level Best Concrete Lifting provides a modern, cost-effective alternative to disruptive concrete replacement. Our innovative polyurethane foam lifting technology restores your existing concrete to its original position without the mess, expense, and inconvenience of demolition and reconstruction.
Our advanced concrete lifting solutions address various applications throughout Burnaby, including:
- Sloping Driveways: Particularly common in North Burnaby’s hillside neighbourhoods where erosion and settlement frequently occur
- Multi-Family Walkways: Restoring safe pedestrian access in Burnaby’s numerous townhouse and condominium communities
- Sunken Patios: Correcting outdoor living spaces that have shifted and now direct water toward foundations
- Commercial Entries: Eliminating access issues and liability concerns for Burnaby businesses
- Tilted Garage Floors: Resolving vehicle access problems and drainage issues in both attached and detached garages
- Uneven Pool Decks: Creating safer environments around recreational spaces, particularly important in Burnaby’s established neighbourhoods
Burnaby’s Unique Concrete Challenges
Burnaby’s diverse topography and soil conditions create specific challenges for concrete surfaces throughout the city:
These concrete issues extend beyond aesthetic concerns. When concrete settles unevenly, it often creates safety hazards that can lead to accidents and potential liability for property owners. Additionally, poor drainage from tilted concrete can direct water toward your home’s foundation, potentially causing costly structural damage over time. The City of Burnaby, like most municipalities, places responsibility on property owners to maintain safe walking surfaces on their property.
Living with Problem Concrete in Burnaby
For Burnaby homeowners, the progression of concrete problems often follows a predictable pattern:
Imagine stepping outside after a heavy rainfall to find water pooling against your home’s foundation because your once-level patio now slopes toward the house. Or picture family members carefully navigating your uneven front walkway, concerned about tripping—especially during Burnaby’s darker, wet winter months.
These concerns are shared by many Burnaby residents:
“I noticed the concrete slabs along the side of my house had begun to sink, creating a channel that directed rainwater straight toward my basement. During heavy storms, I would constantly worry about potential water damage to my home’s foundation.”
Across Burnaby, property owners typically try various temporary solutions—filling cracks with sealant, attempting DIY levelling compounds, or simply living with the problem—before considering expensive concrete replacement. These approaches rarely address the underlying stability issues and generally provide only short-term relief.
The Modern Solution to Settling Concrete
Instead of disruptive concrete replacement, Level Best offers a modern solution specifically adapted for Burnaby’s varied terrain and soil conditions.
Our polyurethane foam injection technology precisely targets the areas where your concrete needs support:
- Minimal Disruption: Small, precise holes (just the size of a dime) are drilled through the concrete
- Strategic Injection: Our environmentally safe polyurethane foam is injected beneath the slab
- Controlled Lifting: The expanding foam gently raises the concrete to its original level position
- Immediate Results: Unlike traditional mudjacking or replacement, your surface is ready for use within 30 minutes
This approach is particularly effective throughout Burnaby’s varied landscapes—from the hillside properties of Burnaby Mountain to the low-lying areas near Burnaby Lake. The foam creates a stable, water-resistant barrier that supports the concrete while preventing future erosion and settlement.
Transforming Properties with Immediate Results
After our concrete lifting process, you can experience significant benefits:
- Properly sloped surfaces that direct water away from structures rather than toward them
- Elimination of tripping hazards for family members, visitors, and customers
- Enhanced property appearance and functionality for better enjoyment and value
- Reduced liability concerns from uneven walking surfaces
- Environmentally responsible solution that extends the life of existing materials
Our approach preserves your original concrete while restoring its functionality, saving you money while providing a more sustainable solution compared to replacement.

Your Concrete Lifting Questions Answered
How do I know if my concrete can be lifted?
Most concrete slabs can be successfully lifted if they’re intact. During your free assessment, we’ll evaluate the condition of your concrete and explain your options. Generally, if your concrete is structurally sound but uneven, lifting is an excellent solution.
How soon can we use the concrete after lifting?
Immediately! One of the major advantages of our process is that your concrete is ready for normal use within 30 minutes of completion. This means minimal disruption to your daily routine.
What happens to the small holes drilled for the process?
The injection holes (about 16mm in diameter) are filled with a cement compound that matches your existing concrete. These patched areas blend in with the surrounding surface and become virtually unnoticeable once completed.
Does concrete lifting work in wet conditions?
Yes! Unlike new concrete installation that requires dry conditions, our polyurethane lifting process can be performed even in light rain. The material is not affected by moisture and cures quickly regardless of weather conditions.
How long does concrete lifting last?
Our polyurethane foam solution is designed for permanent results. Unlike older mudjacking materials that could wash out or compress over time, our modern materials maintain their integrity for decades. We back this confidence with our 10-year warranty.
Is the process noisy or messy?
No. Concrete lifting is remarkably clean and quiet. There’s no jackhammering, no large equipment, and no concrete dust. Most homeowners are surprised by how unobtrusive the entire process is compared to their expectations.
