Why level

Lift the slab, skip the tear-out

When a slab sinks, it is usually because the soil underneath washed out or compacted, leaving a void. Slab leveling fills that void and lifts the concrete back to grade, so a sound slab does not have to be demolished and repoured.

Fills the void underneathWe pump material through small holes to fill the gap the soil left and raise the slab from below.

Keeps your existing slabA sound but sunken slab is lifted back to level rather than broken out and replaced, which costs less.

Removes trip hazards and poolingBringing the slab back to grade evens out joint lips and restores drainage away from the house.

The difference

Slab leveling or replacing the slab?

If a slab has sunk but is still in one solid piece, leveling is almost always the better value. We drill small holes, pump material to fill the void underneath, and lift the concrete back to grade in a fraction of the time a tear-out and repour takes, with much less mess. The slab you already have goes back to doing its job.

Leveling cannot save a slab that has structurally failed. If the concrete is broken into several pieces, badly cracked, or crumbling, lifting it just raises a broken slab, and replacement is the honest answer. We look at the condition before we quote so you spend money on the fix that actually solves the problem.

How it works

From sunken slab to back at grade

Assess the settling

We check how far the slab has sunk, why the soil moved, and whether the concrete is sound enough to lift.

Drill inject ports

Small holes are drilled through the slab in a pattern that lets us fill the void evenly.

Pump and lift

Material is pumped underneath to fill the gap and raise the slab back to level.

Patch and finish

The holes are patched flush, we confirm the slab drains right, and we walk the result with you.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is mudjacking?

Mudjacking is slab leveling. We drill small holes in a sunken slab, pump material underneath to fill the void the soil left, and lift the concrete back to level. The holes are then patched flush with the surface.

Is leveling cheaper than replacing the slab?

Usually, yes. Leveling reuses the slab you already have and involves little demolition, so it typically costs less than tearing out and repouring, and the work is done faster with far less mess.

Will the slab just sink again?

Not if the cause is addressed. Slabs sink because of erosion, washout, or poor compaction. Filling the void solves the current gap, and we look at drainage so water is not steadily washing the soil out again.

Can any sunken slab be lifted?

Only sound ones. If the slab is still in one solid piece, leveling brings it back to grade. If it is broken apart, badly cracked, or crumbling, lifting only raises a broken slab, and we will recommend replacement instead.
