Serving Little Elm and nearby communities.

Little Elm sits on fill soil that took shape fast. A lot of that soil is still settling, and slabs poured over it move with it. Concrete lifting raises a sunken slab back to its original grade by injecting material underneath it, no jackhammer required.

Little Elm Concrete Lifting handles driveways, walkways, garage floors, and patios that have dropped an inch or more at an edge or corner. The slab itself is usually fine. It's the ground under it that gave way.

What's included

What's included with Concrete Lifting

Typically included: Optional: Customer prep:

  • On-site inspection to confirm the slab is a lift candidate, not a replace candidate
  • Small access holes drilled at strategic points (dime to quarter size, depending on method)
  • Material injection with real-time monitoring as the slab rises
  • Hole patching and a final level check before the crew leaves
  • Soil stabilization add-on if the ground beneath shows signs it'll keep settling
  • Joint sealant on adjacent panels to slow future water intrusion
  • Clear vehicles, furniture, or planters off the affected slab
  • Note any sprinkler lines running near the sunken area

How it works

How our Concrete Lifting process works

  1. Site visit and assessment photo
    Step 1

    Site visit and inspection

    Confirm the void, mark the sunken section, check for cracking.

  2. Method selection photo
    Step 2

    Access point drilling

    Small holes placed at calculated spots along the slab.

  3. Drilling access points photo
    Step 3

    Material injection

    Foam or slurry pumped in slowly under pressure.

  4. Material injection photo
    Step 4

    Lift monitoring

    Laser level or straightedge tracks slab rise in real time.

  5. Void fill confirmation photo
    Step 5

    Void fill confirmation

    Pumping stops once the slab reaches target grade.

  6. Follow-up check photo
    Step 6

    Hole patching

    Access points sealed with matching concrete patch.

  7. Final grade check photo
    Step 7

    Final grade check

    Slope verified so water drains away from the house.

  8. Site cleanup photo
    Step 8

    Site cleanup

    Debris and drill dust cleared before the crew leaves.

FAQs

Concrete Lifting FAQs

Can you lift a slab without cutting or replacing it?

That's the whole point of lifting versus tear-out. We drill small access holes, pump material under the slab, and the existing concrete rises back into position. The slab has to be structurally sound first. Heavily cracked or shattered sections sometimes need replacement instead.

How do I know if it's foundation settling or just the slab?

Slab settling shows up as an isolated dip in a driveway, patio, or walkway with no connection to the house structure. Foundation settling usually comes with interior cracks, sticking doors, or uneven floors inside the home. If you're seeing both, mention it during the estimate so we can flag what's outside our scope.

Will lifting work on a slab that's already cracked?

Minor cracks are common and don't rule out lifting. Wide or shifting cracks can mean the slab needs sectional replacement instead. We'll tell you straight during the inspection.

Does concrete lifting stop the slab from sinking again?

Lifting fixes the current position. If the soil underneath is still loose or compacting, it can settle again over time. That's why we sometimes recommend soil stabilization alongside the lift on newer Little Elm builds.

What's the difference between mudjacking and foam for this service?

Mudjacking uses a cement-based slurry and costs less per square foot but takes longer to cure. Foam is lighter, cures faster, and works well on thinner slabs. We'll match the method to your slab during the estimate.
