Common Concrete Issues We Solve

Uneven, sunken or cracked concrete can create tripping hazards, collect standing water and make your home look neglected. The good news is that most concrete problems can be repaired without replacing the slab. Look through the common signs below to pinpoint what may be happening around your property.

  • Uneven Concrete

    Settled, tilted or uneven concrete creates tripping hazards and can make driveways, sidewalks, patios and walkways hard to use safely. These problems typically develop when the soil beneath the slab settles, shifts or washes away, leaving the concrete without proper support.

  • Cracks and Open Gaps

    Cracked concrete is among the most common signs of slab movement. Cracks across driveways, sidewalks, patios and garage floors allow water to work its way beneath the slab. As expansion joints wear out, water can erode the soil below and contribute to additional settlement.

  • Sinking Driveways

    A driveway that dips, pulls away near the garage or develops uneven sections often points to soil settlement beneath the slab. Addressing sinking concrete early can help prevent further cracking, uneven surfaces and more costly repairs.

  • Settling Sidewalk

    Settled sidewalk slabs create uneven walking surfaces, collect standing water and raise the risk of trips and falls. Often, concrete leveling can lift the slab back into place instead of replacing it.

  • Surface Flaking & Deterioration

    If your concrete has become rough, chipped or flaking, weather exposure, de-icing salts and repeated freeze-thaw cycles may be breaking down the surface. A professional concrete surface sealer can help protect the slab from further moisture damage and extend its lifespan.

  • Street Creep

    Concrete streets naturally expand during hot weather, gradually pushing against your driveway and garage floor. Over time, this pressure can crack concrete, damage garage floors and even contribute to foundation movement if left unaddressed.

Causes

Why Does Concrete Fail?

Concrete may be one of the strongest materials on earth, but it's only as stable as the soil beneath it. When supporting soil settles, washes away or expands and contracts with seasonal moisture changes, concrete slabs can crack, sink and become uneven. Identifying the underlying cause helps ensure the right concrete repair solution is recommended.

  • Soil Washout and Voids

    Heavy rains, poor drainage, leaking downspouts and plumbing leaks can wash soil away from beneath concrete slabs. As empty spaces, or voids, develop below the surface, the slab loses support and begins to settle or crack under its own weight.

  • Expansive Clay Soils

    Clay-rich soils swell when wet and shrink during dry weather. Over time, that repeated movement places stress on concrete slabs, leading to cracks, uneven surfaces and gradual settlement.

  • Freeze-Thaw Cycles

    Water that works into small cracks freezes and expands in cold weather, slowly widening the cracks and breaking down the concrete surface. Along with de-icing salts and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, this can result in pitting, flaking and premature deterioration.

  • Poor Soil Compaction

    When fill soil wasn’t properly compacted during construction, it can slowly settle over time. As the soil compresses, portions of the concrete lose support, allowing slabs to sink, crack or shift.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is concrete leveling and how does it work? 2026-10-02T10:56:10-05:00

Concrete leveling (or concrete lifting) is a repair method that raises sunken or uneven concrete back toward its original position without replacing the slab. PolyLevel® polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill empty spaces, stabilize the soil and carefully raise the slab. Concrete leveling is often used to repair driveways, sidewalks, patios, garage floors and other residential concrete surfaces. 

How long does concrete repair take? 2026-10-02T10:55:40-05:00

Most residential concrete repair projects are completed in just a few hours to one day, depending on the scope of the work. In many cases, repaired concrete can be walked on within 15 to 30 minutes and driven on the same day, allowing you to get back to normal much sooner than with concrete replacement. 

Does concrete leveling last? 2026-10-02T10:55:12-05:00

Yes. PolyLevel® polyurethane foam is lightweight, waterproof and designed to provide long-lasting support beneath concrete slabs. Combined with NexusPro® joint sealing to help prevent future soil washout, concrete leveling delivers long-term performance and is backed by an industry-leading transferable warranty. 

What does concrete repair cost? 2026-10-02T10:54:32-05:00

The price of concrete repair services depends on several factors, including slab size, the amount of settlement, accessibility and whether additional services like crack sealing or concrete sealing are needed. Every project is different, so the best way to determine pricing is with a free inspection and written estimate from a The Foundation Specialists Design Specialist. 

Do I have to replace uneven concrete? 2026-10-02T13:05:04-05:00

Yes. In most cases, uneven or sunken concrete can be lifted instead of replaced using PolyLevel® polyurethane foam. This concrete leveling method fills empty spaces beneath the slab and carefully raises it closer to its original position. Compared to concrete replacement, it’s faster, less disruptive and often more cost-effective. We typically only recommend replacement when the concrete is severely damaged beyond repair.
