We are OPEN for business.

As responsible small business owners, we are taking the necessary precautions to protect our customers’ health and safety. Our work is mainly outdoors and we do practice social-distancing on our jobs. If this is a good time for you to have your concrete lifted, this is a great time for us to give you a quote and get the work done! And it will give you something to watch besides Netflix and Hulu!

Concrete Raising Systems is a local Kansas City owned company in business to provide residential and commercial customers with a better alternative to concrete repair and traditional mud jacking. Concrete Raising Systems uses a state-of-the-art Polyurethane foam injection material as opposed to the traditional mud jacking processes which use dirt, water and cement mixture.

Since 2012, Jason and Ken have owned Concrete Raising Systems. They are the experts doing the concrete lifting work. Pictured below is Jason, foam jacking a driveway!

Small jobs are not a problem for us. We are a small business and we appreciate all sizes of jobs! 

Using Concrete Raising System is a cost-effective, eco-friendly alternative to traditional mud jacking. When you choose Foam Jacking, you won’t have to raise your concrete again!

Why does concrete sink?

Concrete sinks as the soil underneath a slab, either compacts (the water in the ground has evaporated to the point that it has shrunken) or a void or pocket has been created due to erosion from running water (from a downspout or a natural sloping of the ground toward your cement) or rainwater, causing a concrete slab to sink, settle or become uneven.

The weather in our Kansas City region has been fairly dry since 2008. When a region experiences less rain or moisture, the water in the soil evaporates which dries the soil causing the cement slabs to sink into the ground in an uneven way.

Winter snow and ice or improper draining onto your driveway can be especially problematic for concrete. Make sure when the ground thaws each spring you check your driveway and sidewalks for gaps between the concrete slabs. If you think you may have an issue with sinking concrete, call us. The sooner you call us the more cost-effective our visit can be!

What is Mudjacking?

I am really pleased with the work Concrete Raising Systems has done. I have a three car garage and my driveway had sunken 4-5” and it is now as level as it could be. Having them fix my driveway was a lot cheaper than tearing it out and replacing it.  I’ve known Ken for over 25 years . He is honest and he always does what he says he is going to do. I definitely would recommend them. -John Kearns, Kearney, MO Homeowner

Concrete Repair with Foam Jacking

Foam jacking is a two-part process where polyurethane foam is injected through holes in the concrete approximately that are 5/8” in diameter. The concrete is effectively raised with the expansion of the foam. The foam jacking material will expand in the weak soil first to consolidate and cause the dirt to become denser and fill all voids below the concrete. It expands in all directions, sometimes as much as 7 feet, so fewer holes are needed to raise the concrete. The foam is set in 30 minutes. Our foam jacking method will not retain moisture so it is not subject to erosion once it is set. Polyurethane foam jacking does not settle due to its lightweight nature. Foam weighs 3-8 pounds per cubic foot. The small holes are professionally patched.
