What Is Concrete Leveling?
Concrete leveling is the process of lifting sunken or uneven concrete slabs back into place without tearing them out and repouring. It’s faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective than full replacement — and it works on driveways, walkways, patios, and more.
Why Concrete Slabs Sink or Tilt
Poorly compacted soil that settles over time
Water erosion washing soil out from beneath slabs
Expansive clay common in Friendswood that shrinks and swells
Tree roots, voids, or improper original installation
How Concrete Leveling Works
Our process involves drilling small holes through the affected slab and injecting material beneath it to fill voids and lift the surface evenly.
Drill core holes in sunken sections
Inject grout (slurry) or polyurethane foam beneath
Material expands, lifting the slab precisely
Holes are patched and sealed to match
Foam vs. Mudjacking
Slabjacking uses a cement-based slurry — heavier and ideal for load-bearing slabs like driveways. Foam injection is lightweight, cures faster, and offers precise control. For example, we often use foam near landscaping or patios with delicate borders, while slabjacking works best for wide, heavy driveways.
| Feature | Foam Jacking | Mudjacking |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Expanding polyurethane foam | Cement-based slurry |
| Weight | Very light | Heavier (may compress weak soil) |
| Cure Time | 15–30 minutes | 1–2 hours |
| Ideal For | Precise, light-load areas | Heavier slabs, garages, sidewalks |
| Cost | Slightly higher | Budget-friendly option |
Signs You Need Concrete Leveling
If you're noticing changes around your property, here are the most common red flags:
Cracked or uneven sidewalks
Sloped or sunken driveway slabs
Pooled water after rainfall
Gaps beneath porch steps or slabs
Doors that stick or won’t close
Height differences between adjacent slabs
In most cases, we can complete a leveling project in just one day.
The results are long-lasting, clean, and nearly invisible.
The Benefits of Leveling Over Replacement
Why rip it out when you can lift it?
Saves Time and Money
Concrete leveling is faster and far more affordable than full demolition and repour. Most projects are completed in hours, not days.
Preserves Existing Landscaping
No need to dig up grass, uproot trees, or remove hardscape. We target only the areas that need repair.
Eco-Friendly Alternative
Leveling reduces waste and uses less material. It strengthens what's already there rather than replacing it.
Tailored for Friendswood Soil and Conditions
We’re locals — and we know Friendswood’s clay-rich ground and weather cycles are tough on concrete.
Expansive Clay Soils in Galveston County
These soils swell during wet seasons and shrink in the dry, causing slabs to shift if not properly stabilized. We engineer each lift to account for this.
Seasonal Moisture Cycles in Southeast Texas
From summer droughts to heavy storms, we adjust grout mix PSI and expansion joint strategies to match the season.
Drainage and Grade Adjustments
Leveling reduces waste and uses less materiaLeveling is only one piece of the puzzle. We also evaluate runoff direction and add edge drains where needed to prevent future issues.al. It strengthens what's already there rather than replacing it.
Surfaces We Level
We lift more than just walkways. Our crews regularly restore patios, garage floors, pool decks, driveway aprons, porch slabs, and even light commercial walkways. If it's concrete and it’s uneven — we level it.
Our Leveling Process from Start to Finish
We follow a precise, proven method from inspection to finishing.
Step 1 – Site Assessment
We perform a detailed evaluation, laser measurements, and check for slab integrity.
Step 2 – Drilling and Injection
Strategic holes are drilled, and grout or foam is injected based on soil and slab type.
Step 3 – Precision Lifting
Slabs are raised slowly using pressure gauges to ensure even elevation.
Step 4 – Finishing
Holes are patched to blend with your slab. Cracks are filled, and sealing is optional for added protection.
Cost vs. Replacement
Many Friendswood homeowners are shocked at how affordable slabjacking is compared to a full replacement.
| Service | Slabjacking | Full Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Time | 2–4 hours | 2–5 days |
| Permits | Usually not needed | Often required |
| Demolition | None | Yes |
| Haul-away costs | None | Yes |
| Cost | $4–10 per sq. ft. | $10–20+ per sq. ft. |
| Average savings | 40–70% | – |
In most cases, leveling will restore your concrete’s function and appearance for another 10–15 years at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
