Uneven concrete is a common issue in Kansas City. Slabs can sink due to soil movement or water under the surface. When that happens, walkways, patios, and driveways become unsafe and can lead to bigger problems for the home. Concrete leveling is a smart way to fix the surface without tearing it out or waiting days for new concrete to cure.

We lift settled slabs back to a safe and correct height. The process is fast, clean, and more affordable than full replacement. It keeps water away from the foundation and removes trip hazards so your home stays safe.

What Is Concrete Leveling?

Concrete leveling is a repair method used to raise sunken or uneven concrete back to its proper height. It’s a great way to restore the surface without having to remove and replace the slab.

We use two main types of concrete leveling in Kansas City:

Polyjacking (Foam Injection)

Polyjacking is our most common method. It works well on concrete that’s still solid but has settled due to soil movement or water problems.

Here’s how polyjacking works:

• We drill small holes in the concrete.
• We inject expanding polyurethane foam under the slab.
• The foam fills empty spaces, lifts the slab, and hardens in minutes.

We’ve used polyjacking on:

• Driveways
• Sidewalks
• Pool decks
• Basement slabs
• Daycare and school floors

Pro Tip: Polyjacking cures fast and is ready to use the same day, making it ideal for busy homes or businesses.

Slab Piers with Polyjacking

For more serious settling or broken slabs, we use slab piers first, then follow up with polyjacking.

The process includes:

• Driving steel helical piers through the slab down to solid bedrock
• Lifting the slab using hydraulic pressure
• Filling any remaining voids with polyurethane foam

This method is best for larger repairs or where the soil under the slab is very soft or unstable.

How Much Does Concrete Leveling Cost?

Concrete leveling costs can vary based on the size of the slab and the type of repair needed. Some projects are simple and others are more complex.

For example, when we use slab piers along with polyjacking, it’s a more involved process. These jobs can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $50,000, depending on how severe the settlement is and how much support is needed.

Key Takeaway: Serious slab repairs with piers can be costly, but they restore stability and help prevent further damage.

Is Concrete Leveling Worth It?

Yes, if the slab is stable and not falling apart. Leveling is faster, cleaner, and often much cheaper than replacing concrete. It also helps prevent:

• Water pooling near the foundation
• Tripping hazards
• Further cracking and damage

We recommend concrete leveling when:

• The slab is mostly intact, but uneven
• The issue is due to settling, not crumbling
• You want a fast, long-lasting solution
