Vancouver’s Unique Concrete Challenges
Vancouver’s distinctive urban geography creates specific conditions that affect concrete stability:
These concrete issues extend well beyond aesthetic concerns. When concrete slopes improperly, water is often directed toward your home’s foundation, potentially causing serious structural problems over time—a particular concern given Vancouver’s significant rainfall. Additionally, uneven walkways create dangerous trip hazards that increase liability risks, especially in densely populated urban areas.
When Concrete Problems Disrupt Your Daily Life
For many homeowners, concrete issues progress from minor annoyances to significant concerns:
Imagine navigating your front walkway during a dark, rainy evening, constantly worried about family members or visitors tripping on the uneven sections. Or consider the frustration of repeatedly dealing with puddles that form on your driveway after each rainfall, knowing the trapped water is gradually causing further erosion beneath.
These scenarios are familiar to many Vancouverites:
“The concrete path along my Eastside home had settled unevenly after years of exposure to our wet climate. During heavy rains, water would collect against my foundation instead of draining away properly. I was constantly concerned about potential basement moisture problems.”
Many property owners attempt temporary solutions—patching cracks, applying self-levelling compounds, or considering disruptive concrete replacement. These approaches rarely address the underlying soil stability issues common throughout Vancouver’s varied terrain and generally provide only short-term improvements.
The Modern Solution to Settling Concrete
Rather than tearing out and replacing your concrete—a messy, expensive, and environmentally wasteful process—Level Best Concrete Lifting offers a superior solution tailored to local 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 advanced approach is particularly effective throughout Vancouver’s diverse landscape—from the west side communities of Point Grey and Kitsilano to the east side neighbourhoods of Hastings-Sunrise and Victoria-Fraserview. The solution creates a water-resistant barrier that helps prevent future settlement while correcting current unevenness.

Your Concrete Lifting Questions Answered
Is concrete lifting appropriate for heritage properties?
Absolutely. Our process is particularly valuable for many heritage homes where preserving original character is important. Unlike replacement that completely removes historical elements, lifting preserves the original concrete while restoring its functionality—a significant advantage for maintaining the character of historic properties.
How does lifting work in Vancouver’s limited-access properties?
Our equipment is specifically designed for urban settings with space constraints. We’ve successfully completed projects on narrow lots, homes with limited side-yard access, and properties with steep front approaches. Our technicians are experienced in navigating Vancouver’s unique urban property challenges.
Will the lifting process create neighbourhood disruption?
No. Unlike concrete replacement that involves noisy demolition, heavy equipment, and days of construction activity, our process is remarkably quiet and completed quickly—typically in just a few hours. This minimizes disruption to neighbours, an important consideration in Vancouver’s densely populated areas.
How does your solution handle Vancouver’s heavy rainfall?
Our polyurethane foam is specially formulated for high-moisture environments. It’s water-resistant and won’t break down when exposed to Vancouver’s significant rainfall. This makes it ideal for local conditions where traditional materials might deteriorate over time. The foam creates a stable, moisture-resistant barrier beneath your concrete.
Do I need a city permit for concrete lifting?
Unlike concrete replacement that typically requires permits in Vancouver, our lifting process is considered a repair rather than new construction. In most cases, no permit is required—saving you time, money, and bureaucratic hassle. We’ll advise you if your specific project has any permitting considerations.
Is concrete lifting environmentally responsible?
Yes. By avoiding concrete replacement, we prevent construction waste from entering landfills—a significant consideration given Vancouver’s environmental goals. Additionally, our polyurethane foam is environmentally inert once cured and won’t leach chemicals into the surrounding soil. This aligns with the city’s commitment to sustainable building practices.
