In this short informational video, the speaker explains that the foam material used in concrete lifting can endure for many years, potentially decades. However, the long‑term stability of a lifted slab depends heavily on the condition of the soil beneath the slab and foam, as well as external influences such as rainwater infiltration, nearby construction vibrations, and flooding. Under generally stable conditions without heavy environmental disturbances, the speaker estimates the concrete lifting solution can remain effective for roughly 15 to 20 years before the slab might settle again.

How long does concrete lifting last? It has the potential to last a very, very long time. The foam material itself underneath there, that has the potential to last years and years and years. There are several factors to consider when a slab actually, or if it can settle again, and it is largely dependent on the soils below the concrete slab and ultimately below the foam as well. Ground can constantly shift. That can be expedited by different external variables like rainwater, maybe construction in an industrial area where there's a lot of vibrations. Different things can, can allow a slab to fall again even after it's been lifted. But when you generally have stable conditions and you don't see that too often where there's just heavy floods, heavy construction in the area, generally we can see it over 15 to 20 years.
