Sidewalk & Driveway Lifting Solutions in Hamilton & Surrounding Area
For more than 25 years, Poly-Mor Canada has been a trusted name in concrete leveling and driveway lifting throughout Hamilton and the surrounding areas. We use a cutting-edge method that involves injecting high-density expanding polymers through small 5/8″ holes in the concrete slab. As the polyurethane expands, it fills voids beneath the surface and applies controlled pressure to lift and realign sunken concrete with precision.
Our advanced injection method not only levels uneven driveways but also seals the slab to prevent future water infiltration—an essential benefit in Canada’s freeze-thaw climate. With precise lifting techniques, we restore the alignment, appearance, and structural integrity of your concrete surfaces.

Our Concrete Lifting Process
- Precision Drilling: We drill 5/8” holes strategically throughout the concrete to ensure full foam coverage.
- Foam Injection: Using specialized injection ports, our high-density polyurethane foam is injected through an airtight, pressurized system beneath the slab. The foam expands, filling voids and gently lifting the concrete to its original position.
- Final Adjustments: Once the slab is raised to the desired height, we remove the injection ports and seamlessly patch the holes.
- Instant Results: Your newly lifted driveway is ready for immediate use, allowing you to enjoy a stable, level surface right away!
Why is Driveway Lifting Often Required?
If your driveway or sidewalks are starting to sink, it’s important to take action early to avoid more serious problems down the line. Uneven concrete isn’t just an eyesore—it poses real safety risks. Sinking slabs can create trip hazards for pedestrians, especially children, seniors, and anyone with mobility issues. They can also cause damage to vehicles by creating sharp edges or uneven surfaces that lead to unnecessary wear on tires and suspensions.
Beyond safety, sunken concrete often indicates underlying issues such as soil erosion, water infiltration, or poor compaction. These problems will only worsen over time, potentially leading to deep cracks, larger voids, or even complete slab failure. Lifting the concrete early on restores its original height and slope, improving water drainage and preventing further erosion.
Polyurethane injection is a fast, minimally invasive, and cost-effective way to stabilize and lift your concrete. It avoids the need for full replacement and offers long-lasting results. By addressing the problem promptly, you protect your property, improve curb appeal, and avoid expensive future repairs.
What Causes Sidewalks & Driveways to Sink?
Driveways and sidewalks can sink over time due to a combination of natural and structural factors. One of the most common causes is soil erosion, often triggered by poor drainage. When water consistently flows or pools around the concrete, it washes away the soil or base materials underneath, creating empty spaces that eventually cause the slab to settle unevenly.
Another major contributor is the freeze-thaw cycle, especially in colder climates. Water that seeps under the concrete freezes in winter, expanding and pushing the slab upward. When the ice melts, it leaves gaps beneath the surface, weakening the support and allowing the concrete to sink.
Poor soil compaction during construction can also lead to sinking. If the ground wasn’t compacted properly before the concrete was poured, it may shift and settle under the weight of vehicles and environmental stress. Tree roots growing underneath or nearby can displace soil and lift or tilt slabs as well.
Heavy traffic, nearby construction, and aging materials all compound the problem. Over time, these factors create unstable foundations, resulting in sunken, cracked, or uneven surfaces that need to be repaired or lifted to restore safety and appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Poly-Mor Canada and what services do you offer?
Poly-Mor Canada specializes in geotechnical polyurethane foam solutions for concrete lifting, soil stabilization, void filling, and leak sealing. Our innovative technology provides a cost-effective and long-lasting alternative to traditional methods like mudjacking and concrete replacement.
How does the polyurethane injection process work?
Our polyurethane foam is injected beneath the surface through small, strategically placed holes. The expanding foam fills voids, stabilizes soil, and gently lifts settled concrete. It cures within minutes, providing a strong and durable solution with minimal disruption.
What are the benefits of polyurethane over traditional concrete repair methods?
Polyurethane foam is lightweight, fast-curing, and water-resistant. Unlike traditional methods, it does not add excessive weight to the soil, minimizing future settling. It also requires smaller drill holes, making it a cleaner and less invasive process.
Is polyurethane injection environmentally friendly?
Yes! Our polyurethane foam is eco-friendly, non-toxic, and does not leach harmful chemicals into the ground. It is a safe and sustainable solution for both residential and commercial applications.
How much does polyurethane injection cost?
The cost of polyurethane injection varies based on factors such as the size of the area, the extent of settling, and site conditions. Homeowners could pay as little as 15% – 25% the cost of removing and replacing the concrete. While polyurethane lifting is almost always more affordable than full concrete replacement, we recommend contacting us for a free assessment and quote to determine the exact cost for your project.
How long does the repair process take, and when can the area be used again?
Most projects can be completed within a few hours. The polyurethane cures within 15-30 minutes, allowing the repaired area to be used almost immediately after the work is finished.
