Greensboro's an old enough city that there's settled concrete on just about every block. We lift sunken driveways, walks, and slabs back to level with foam injection — usually the same day.

Across Greensboro, two things keep our crews busy: a lot of homes that have been around long enough for their concrete to settle, and Piedmont clay underneath that swells, shrinks, and holds water on flatter lots. The older neighborhoods show it most, but it's a citywide story. We lift it back. Below are the eight services we run across Greensboro.
Most sunken concrete doesn't need replacing — it needs lifting. We set a line of small ports in the slab, send foam in underneath, and let it raise the concrete back to grade as it fills the space below. Ports patched, you're back on it in hours, not days.

A driveway that's dipped in the middle or dropped at the apron is the job we run most around Greensboro — and on the older lots, that concrete has been settling for decades. We lift the low section, fill the gap underneath, and you're pulling in on it the same day.

Greensboro's full of old sidewalks where one square has heaved or sunk past the next — a classic toe-catcher. We raise the low slab flush with its neighbor, level the run, and patch the small holes. No jackhammer, no new pour.

A patio that's settled back toward the house turns into a puddle every time it rains, right where you don't want water — against the foundation. We lift the low side, set the slope back the right way, and the water runs off instead of pooling.

A pool deck settles where the soil washes or shrinks away beneath it, and once a corner drops you've got an uneven, hazard-prone surface. We lift pool decks with foam — light enough to raise the slab without straining the pool wall — and bring it back to a safe, even grade.

A garage slab that's sunk toward one corner sends water and oil drifting the wrong way and makes for an uneven floor underfoot. We raise the low spots, fill the void beneath, and you can park on it the same day.

Porches, stoops, shed floors, AC pads, basement and sunroom slabs — if it's concrete and it's dropped, it lifts the same way: foam underneath until it's level and solidly supported again. Most slabs on a property are liftable.

As a slab settles and the clay moves under it, cracks open up. After we lift it, we seal those cracks with a flexible filler that flexes with the concrete and keeps water from running back underneath and washing the soil out again.

Give us a call about the driveway, walk, or slab that's dropped and we'll come out and look it over — no charge. We measure how far it's gone, get under it to see what's hollow, and work out what pulled it down.
You get the full picture before anything happens — what's under the slab, what the lift involves, and the price in writing. If the concrete's too far gone to be worth lifting, we'll tell you that instead of booking the job.
A few small holes, and we inject foam beneath the slab — it fills the gap the soil left and brings the concrete up to level, a little at a time so it lands even.
Holes patched, area cleaned, and it's yours again — no fence-off-and-wait while it cures. Walk it, park on it, the same afternoon.
Most of our Greensboro jobs are done in a few hours. Somebody picks up the phone seven days a week, and we usually have someone out to look within a day. A settled slab only gets worse the longer it sits, so there's no reason to wait weeks for a callback.
You get the price in writing before we start, and that's what you pay — no "starting around" figure, no add-ons unless you change the job. If we get under the slab and find something we didn't expect, we stop and show you first.
Foam injection is light, firms up in minutes, and lasts for years — you're back on the concrete the same day instead of waiting on a pour to cure. And if a slab's too far gone to be worth lifting, we'll say so straight, not talk you into a job.

The questions we get most often during free assessments around the city.
Far cheaper than ripping it out and starting over — that's the whole point of lifting. What you'll pay tracks with the slab itself: how much of it there is, how far down it's gone, and how big the void is underneath. A single sunken sidewalk square sits at the low end; a full driveway or pool deck is more. We don't price it over the phone — after a quick look you get a firm number in writing.
It's mostly age and clay working together. Greensboro's been around a long time, so a lot of its concrete has simply had decades to settle — you see it most in the older neighborhoods, but newer parts of town aren't immune. Underneath it all is Piedmont clay that swells when it's wet and shrinks when it's dry, slowly working voids open under the slab. And on the flatter lots where water sits instead of running off, that wet-dry cycle runs harder. Time, clay, and drainage — that's the recipe here.
Simple and quick. We drill a handful of penny-sized holes, then pump two-part polyurethane through them. Down below, the foam reacts and swells, taking up the empty pockets under the slab and pushing it upward — we feed it in a bit at a time so the slab rises level, not lopsided. It firms up within minutes, the holes get filled, and you'd be hard-pressed to spot where we worked.
The lift holds as long as the ground underneath stays put, and the foam itself doesn't rot, wash away, or break down — it's good for years. What can undo a lift is water finding its way back under the slab, so if a drainage problem is feeding the settling, we'll flag it so you can deal with the cause, not just the symptom.
Almost never. Insurers file slab settling — whether it's from clay movement, washout, or poor drainage — under wear-and-tear, not the sudden damage policies pay for. A burst pipe washing out the soil might be an exception. Read your policy, but plan on covering it yourself; it's still a small fraction of replacing the concrete.
Depends entirely on the concrete itself. Is it basically sound and just sitting too low? Then lifting it wins every time — quicker, far less money, and no new slab to wait on. Is it shattered, spalling, or crumbling apart? Then you're better off replacing it. Plenty of older Greensboro concrete is still solid underneath and just needs raising — but we'll give you the straight answer on yours, not a sales pitch.
