Essential Guide to Care for Lifted Concrete

After lifting your concrete, keeping it in good shape helps it last.

This guide gives you simple ways to care for your slab.

Lifted Concrete Care Tips

• Keep water away from the edges of your slab.- Seal any joints or cracks that may appear.

• Don’t place heavy items near the edges.- Check for changes after storms or freezes.

Example: A family in Brandon checked their lifted patio every spring and resealed it after 2 years. It stayed level.

Concrete Repair Aftercare

1. Right after concrete lifting, stay off the slab for at least 24 hours.

2. Avoid power washing for a few days. Give the slab time to settle.

3. Check nearby downspouts. Make sure they don’t drain water toward the slab.

4. If you see any signs of movement, call your contractor.

Concrete Lifting Maintenance

Lifted slabs can last years, but only with good care.

Watch for small cracks or gaps. Fill them quickly to stop bigger issues.

Keep soil or mulch away from slab edges. This helps avoid water damage.

Example: One customer added gravel around the edge of their driveway slab. It helped keep water away. Boost Concrete offers support and advice on keeping your slab strong.
