Charlotte sits on bull tallow — a high-plasticity clay that swells when it rains and shrinks when it dries. That movement leaves voids under your concrete, and the slab drops into them. We lift it back. Below are the eight services we run all over Charlotte. Every one is concrete lifting or concrete repair work, and we handle it across Charlotte NC on the same schedule. Our company lists what each of these services covers before anything starts.
Foam or mud injection that lifts your sunken slab back to level. We drill small holes, pump material under the slab, and stop when it reads level. Most jobs are done in a few hours. Uneven concrete surfaces are the most common issues we see in Charlotte NC, and lifting the slab costs a fraction of replacing it.

Driveway lifts are our most common job, especially in older Charlotte neighborhoods like Myers Park where the aprons have had decades to settle. We lift the section, fill the void, and you can drive on it the same day. Driveway repair like this is straight concrete lifting, not replacement, so the surfaces you already have stay in place.

Slab lippage at the seams is the main trip hazard we fix. We raise the lower slab to match the higher one and patch the small injection holes. Sidewalk repair of this kind is the cheapest concrete lifting job we do in Charlotte.

A patio that slopes back toward the house drains water at your foundation. We lift the low corner, restore the original slope, and stop the pooling. Water sitting at the foundation is what turns small concrete issues into a bigger repair, so we correct the slope before it spreads. The soil under the foundation drives most of it.

Years of splash and irrigation wash the soil out from under a pool deck. We use foam only on pool decks — it's light enough to lift the slab without stressing the pool wall. Most of our pool deck work is around Foxcroft.

A dipped garage floor pulls water toward the wall instead of the drain. We level the slab, fill the void, and you can park on it that day. Garage slabs are some of the easiest concrete lifting work we do, and the repair holds as long as the soil stays put.

Sunroom slabs and basement floors that settle at a different rate than the main foundation. We can lift most interior slabs without removing flooring above. Interior concrete repair like this is common in older Charlotte NC houses where an addition settled faster than the house.

Hairline cracks open as the slab moves. We seal them so water can't keep washing soil out from underneath. Often bundled with a leveling job for a lower combined price. Crack repair on its own is cheap, but it only holds if the concrete underneath is stable, so we check the slab for voids before any repair starts.

We come out, walk the slab with you, measure the dip with a level, and look at what's causing it. No charge, no high-pressure sales. The estimate is free and written on the spot, and it covers the concrete repair as well as the lifting.
We'll tell you whether foam or mud makes more sense for your slab and your budget. Foam lasts longer and cures fast. Mud is cheaper. We explain the tradeoffs and let you pick. Some concrete repair companies only carry one method because that is all they own. We run both, so the recommendation fits your slab instead of our equipment.
We drill small injection holes, pump material under the slab in stages, and stop when the slab reads level. Most jobs take a couple of hours. The same concrete lifting process works on a driveway, a sidewalk, or an interior slab. Most every home in Charlotte NC has concrete that has moved somewhere.
We patch the holes with color-matched grout and clean up. Foam is walk-on in 15 minutes. Mud is ready the next day.
Most concrete leveling jobs in Charlotte take a couple of hours. We answer the phone seven days a week, and most assessments are scheduled within twenty-four hours. If you need it done fast, that's how we run. Most concrete repair calls in Charlotte NC are scheduled within a couple of days, and the crew that gives the estimate does the lifting.
You get a written quote on the spot before any work starts. No "starting at" pricing, no change orders unless you add scope. If we find something underneath your slab that changes the job, we tell you and you decide what to do.
Foam lasts twenty-plus years and cures in fifteen minutes. Mud is cheaper and works fine for many driveways. Some companies push the more expensive method on every job. We explain both and let you pick the one that fits your slab and your budget. Both methods are certified for residential concrete work, and both come with a written guarantee.
Real jobs we've done. Same slab, lifted back to grade.
The questions we get most often during free assessments around the city.
A single sidewalk slab usually runs a few hundred dollars. A partial driveway lift is most common, and full driveway, pool deck, and garage floor jobs are larger. The size of the slab, the inches of lift needed, and whether you choose foam or mud all affect the final price. We quote the full price before we start. Sunken concrete on a driveway costs less to lift than a full sidewalk run, and the price breaks out each surface.
Charlotte sits on bull tallow — a high-plasticity clay that absorbs a lot of water. It swells when it rains and shrinks when it dries. That movement creates voids under your slab, and the slab drops into them. Charlotte gets about forty-three inches of rain a year spread evenly across the months, so the wet-dry cycle runs constantly. That soil movement is why uneven concrete shows up so often in Charlotte NC, and why repair without filling the void does not last.
Polyurethane foam typically lasts twenty years or more. Mud injection lasts two to five years on average. Both can fail earlier if the underlying cause — like a plumbing leak or a major root system — isn't addressed. We come back at no charge if your lifted slab settles a quarter inch or more within twenty-four months. We re-check the concrete at no charge if it moves, and the repair is documented for your records. A settled home slab is a repair, not a replacement.
Foam is a two-part polyurethane resin. It's light, expands to fill voids, cures in about fifteen minutes, and lasts twenty-plus years. Mud is a cement-based slurry. It's heavier, costs less, cures overnight, and lasts a few years on average. Foam is better for pool decks and weak clay. Mud is fine for many full-driveway jobs on a tighter budget. Mudjacking is the older method, and it still fits plenty of driveway work in Charlotte NC. Mudjacking still has a place, and our company prices both.
Almost never. North Carolina homeowners insurance generally excludes settlement and earth movement, so routine concrete leveling is paid out of pocket. The exception is when a covered event like a sudden burst pipe washes out the soil — in that case some of the resulting damage may be covered. We can help you document the cause if you want to file a claim. Most concrete repair here is paid out of pocket, so the written price matters more than the policy.
