Notice one corner of your slab sitting lower than the rest? That's slab lifting territory, not a full foundation job.

Slab lifting raises a sunken section of concrete back to grade by filling the void underneath it. Melissa Concrete Lifting handles this on driveways, patios, garage floors, and walkways where fill dirt settled after the pour. It's a targeted fix, not a structural rebuild.

What's included

What's included with Concrete Slab Lifting

Typically included: Optional: Customer prep:

  • Site walk and slab assessment to map low spots and joint separation
  • Void check to estimate depth and volume before choosing a method
  • Small access holes drilled at strategic points on the slab
  • Material injection (foam or slurry) until the slab reaches target grade
  • Hole patching and color-matched finish
  • Joint sealant to slow future water intrusion
  • Drainage grading consult if water is pooling toward the house
  • Clear furniture, planters, or vehicles off the work area
  • Point out any past repairs or known soft spots

How it works

How our Concrete Slab Lifting process works

  1. Site visit and slab assessment photo
    Step 1

    Site visit and slab assessment

    Walk the slab, mark low points and cracked joints.

  2. Void assessment photo
    Step 2

    Void depth check

    Probe or sound the slab to gauge how much space needs filling.

  3. Drilling access points photo
    Step 3

    Method selection

    Foam for lighter, faster jobs; mudjacking slurry for larger voids.

  4. Foam or slurry injection photo
    Step 4

    Drilling access holes

    Small ports placed at calculated spots on the slab.

    Patch, seal, and verify

    Holes patched, level rechecked, area cleared for use.

FAQs

Concrete Slab Lifting FAQs

Can slab lifting fix a garage floor pulling away from the house?

Usually, yes. Garage slabs are often poured separate from the home's foundation, so a gap at the threshold is typically slab settlement, not a foundation crack. We check the gap and void depth before recommending a fix.

How do I know if it's slab settling and not a foundation problem?

Slab settling tends to stay isolated to one flatwork section: a driveway, patio, or garage floor. Foundation issues usually show up as diagonal wall cracks, sticking doors, or movement across multiple rooms. When in doubt, we'll tell you honestly if it looks like more than a slab issue.

Does slab lifting work on all types of concrete?

It works well on driveways, patios, garage floors, sidewalks, and pool decks. Thickness and reinforcement (rebar vs. wire mesh) affect which method we recommend.

Will the lifted slab settle again?

It can, if the underlying soil keeps moving. Filling the void addresses the current gap; ongoing clay soil shrink-swell cycles are a separate, longer-term factor.

How soon can I use the slab after lifting?

Foam-based lifts often support light foot traffic within hours. Larger mudjacking jobs need more cure time before vehicle loads. We'll give you a specific window at the estimate.

Is slab lifting cheaper than replacing the concrete?

Generally yes, since you're not tearing out and repouring. Replacement makes more sense when the slab itself is cracked through or badly deteriorated.
