Concrete Jacking Serving Dallas, Texas
Hello, and welcome to Nortex Concrete Lift & Stabilization – your premier concrete jacking specialists. When it comes to any type of repair project, you want professionals who are licensed and have the expertise to back up their claims – that is exactly what you get from Nortex. As a Fort Worth-based road-construction company, we specialize in lifting and stabilizing uneven, settled concrete panels. Lifting and stabilizing – or concrete jacking – is a vital type of intervention that can circumvent potential accidents and possible lawsuits. Aesthetics and enhanced property values are secondary reasons why compromised concrete panels should be repositioned to their correct grades and elevations.
Concrete slabs are only as stable as the soil beneath them. The integrity of the soil’s strength and performance can be compromised due to improper compaction, erosion, and other issues. By injecting high-density polyurethane foam beneath the pavement, slabs are very easily lifted and properly adjusted. Recent technology has replaced the once-common mud-cement-slurry mix with polyurethane foam due to its outstanding benefits. Concrete jacking that utilizes polyurethane foam can remedy a multitude of uneven concrete issues at airport runways, residential sidewalks, bridges, highways and much more. Concrete jacking with foam injections is the go-to choice for concrete repair since it is, usually, half the cost of new concrete!
Mud-jacking doesn’t address the real reason concrete settles, but concrete jacking with foam injections do. The high-density foam compacts the soil around it, resulting in an extremely reliable and stable substrate. The foam quickly expands and hardens, it is impervious to water, and it will never degrade over time due to hot and cold temperature extremes.
Concrete Grinding
At Nortex, we, also, offer concrete grinding services. Our signature process, known as ‘PolyGrinding’, satisfies two objectives, simultaneously: it provides a remedy for issues below a concrete slab and it solves the issues of faulted pavement on top of the slab. Polyurethane-foam injections and concrete joint grinding work together to repair and strengthen the soil as well as grind down any offset joints above the soil’s surface.
Concrete jacking with foam and concrete grinding procedures are fully supported by transportation departments throughout the US. The reasons are simple: these remedies are far more efficient and far more cost-effective alternatives to full-depth repair and dowel bar retrofit. To top it off, road-deflection tests have proven that these two solutions boost the ride-quality index.

Our Services
The foam material used in Nortex’s concrete jacking procedure is watertight, water repellant, and is completely unaffected by wet soil conditions. Also, our heavy-duty polyurethane foam offers an incredibly quick cure-time – it can be traffic-ready within minutes. As a result, any disruption is minimally affected.
Concrete jacking with foam injections and concrete grinding are utilized in venues that include:
*** Airport Runways – cracking and severe pavement settlement due to poor base and sub-grade soils – efficient repairs allow for quickly-resumed flight operations.
*** Bridges – slab settlement at approach and departure areas caused by unstable foundation soils, water penetration, and constant impact and pressure – soils are stabilized and strengthened, eliminating future settlement and erosion.
*** Pavements – faulted pavements due to poorly-compacted foundation soils, water penetration, and heavy tractor-trailer loads – polyurethane-foam injections and ‘PolyGrinding’ are, commonly, used here.
*** Industrial/Commercial – settlement due to voids beneath concrete foundations – concrete is quickly repositioned to the original elevation – Nortex’s foundation-lifting process can extend the life of slabs that are still in good shape.
*** Infrastructure – leaks, voids, and deterioration of large pipes, culverts, manholes, drop inlets, and more due to water infiltration, settling, poor compaction of foundation soils, etc. – costly repairs, such as excavation, can be bypassed.
*** Ponding Water – pooling of water, where the pavement has settled, due to water erosion of sub-grade soils – polyurethane-foam injection lifts the concrete to its proper grade, allowing for proper water flow.
*** Sidewalk Division – trip hazards due to the settling of sidewalks – the lightweight property of sidewalks, when compared to other concrete structures, means extra care must be taken during the
lifting and leveling. Our three crews specialize in this delicate operation where preventing over-lifting is critical. Sidewalks can be lifted back to their original position in as little as 30 minutes.
*** Soil Densification – pavement-surface failures caused by weak or insufficient support in the foundation soil – patching or replacing the surface pavement and the replacement of foundation soils can be ineffective, temporary, and costly. Nortex’s polyurethane foam strengthens the sub-grade soils to extend the life of the surface pavement.
