Traditional SlabJacking is a proven method used to Lift Settled Concrete by pumping material beneath the slab to fill voids and restore support. The goal is usually restoring concrete back toward its original grade without tearing it out and replacing it.

Is SlabJacking the same as concrete leveling?

Not always. Most concrete is intentionally poured with pitch so water drains properly away from homes and structures. The goal is generally restoring concrete toward its original position rather than making everything perfectly level.

How much does SlabJacking cost?

Every project is different, but many residential SlabJacking projects typically range from approximately $600–$1,900 depending on access, size, settlement, and location.

How long does SlabJacking last?

Nothing is completely permanent. However, HowellSlabJacking has lifted tens of thousands of slabs over more than 35 years that have remained stable for many years when erosion and outside conditions are controlled.

Do you serve Indiana and Illinois?

Yes. HowellSlabJacking serves property owners throughout Central Indiana and Central Illinois including Indianapolis, Greenwood, Bloomington, Decatur, Champaign, Normal, and surrounding areas.

Our Traditional SlabJacking Process

We use tried and proven Traditional SlabJacking methods to restore settled concrete without tearing it out and replacing it.

Step 1 – Small Access Holes

We drill small holes in the concrete to reach the empty space below. These holes are placed carefully to keep the surface looking clean.

Step 2 – Lift and Fill

We pump a grout mixture under the slab. This fills the empty space, strengthens the ground, and slowly lifts the concrete back into place.

Step 3 – Lift, Support & Finish

Once the slab has been restored toward its proper position, we patch the holes with fresh cement and clean the work area. Most concrete can typically be used immediately in many cases.

Everything you need to know before getting your concrete lifted.

How Concrete Lifting Works

Concrete lifting (also called concrete leveling, slabjacking, or mudjacking) is a way to fix sinking or uneven concrete without replacing it. We drill small holes in the slab and pump a grout mixture underneath. This fills empty space (void filling), lifts the concrete, and brings it back to a level position.

SlabJacking uses a cement-based material that is pumped under pressure beneath the slab. This material fills gaps, strengthens the soil, and slowly lifts the concrete. It also helps with concrete stabilization so the slab has better support moving forward.

SlabJacking uses a grout mix, while polyjacking uses polyurethane foam. Both are forms of concrete raising, but mudjacking is a proven method that has been used for decades. It provides strong support, works well for many residential projects, and is a reliable option for long-term results.

In many cases, yes. Concrete lifting is faster, more affordable, and less disruptive than replacement. Instead of tearing out your driveway, sidewalk, or patio, we lift and fix the existing slab.

Pricing & Estimates

Every project is different. The cost depends on the size of the area, how much the concrete has settled, and how much material is needed. In most cases, concrete leveling costs much less than full replacement.

Yes. SlabJacking is one of the most affordable ways to fix sinking concrete. You keep your existing slab, avoid demolition, and still get a solid, level surface.

We provide estimates based on your project details. The best way to get started is by submitting your information so we can review your concrete repair needs and respond with the next steps.

If the slab is still in decent shape, lifting is usually the best option. We can fix uneven concrete, improve safety, and extend the life of your concrete without the high cost of replacement.

What to Expect on Project Day

Most jobs are completed in just a few hours. Once the process is done, your concrete is typically ready to use the same day.

No major mess. We drill small holes, complete the lifting, and patch them. Compared to tearing out concrete, the process is clean and simple.

We drill access holes, pump material under the slab, lift it to the correct level, and then patch the holes. The goal is to restore your concrete quickly and safely.

In most cases, no. As long as we have access to the area and clear instructions, we can complete the job and follow up with you after.

What We Lift & Repair

We lift many types of residential and light commercial concrete, including driveways, sidewalks, walkways, patios, porches, garage floors, concrete floors, pool decks, steps, and other slabs around your property.

Yes. If your concrete is uneven, sinking, or creating trip hazards, we can lift and level it. This helps improve safety and appearance at the same time.

Yes. Void filling is a big part of the process. We fill the empty space under the slab and help stabilize the soil so the concrete has better long-term support.

Concrete can often still be lifted even if it has cracks. However, lifting will not remove the cracks—it will raise and stabilize the slab. Severely damaged concrete may need replacement.

Concrete SlabJacking vs. Replacement

If your concrete is still structurally sound, lifting is usually the better option. It’s faster, more affordable, and avoids the mess of demolition.

If the concrete is badly broken, falling apart, or has major structural damage, replacement may be the better choice. We’ll be honest and let you know what’s best.

Yes. Concrete lifting addresses the issue below the slab by filling voids and improving support. This helps prevent further sinking.

No. Lifting improves the level and function, but existing stains, cracks, or dips may still be visible. The goal is to fix the problem, not replace the slab.
