Cecil clay shrinks in dry summers and swells in wet ones. 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 Raleigh. Every one of them is concrete lifting or concrete repair, and the same crew handles the job from the first visit to the last patch.
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 is what most people notice first, and lifting it back costs a fraction of a full slab replacement. The concrete you already own stays where it is, and the void underneath gets filled.

Driveway lifts are our most common job, especially in older Raleigh neighborhoods like Hayes Barton where the aprons have had decades to settle. We lift the section, fill the void, and you can drive on it the same day. That kind of repair takes a few hours, not a few days. The concrete is back in service before the crew packs up.

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. Trip hazards are the reason most people call, and the repair is usually the cheapest concrete lifting job we do. The repair leaves the concrete flush at the seam.

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 at the foundation is what turns a small settling problem into a real concrete repair. Fixing the slope first keeps the concrete dry.

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 North Ridge and Brier Creek.

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. Slab repair here is the same process, just on a thicker pour of concrete. The repair holds as long as the ground below 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 an older home where an addition settled at its own pace.

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. Sealing alone is not a real repair. If the soil underneath is still moving, the crack in the concrete comes back. A crack repair holds only when the concrete under it is supported.

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 visit covers every one of our services, so you get one plan for the whole home instead of a separate price per slab. Our services cover every slab on the property.
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. Either way it is concrete lifting, not replacement, and the repair uses the concrete already in place.
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. Mudjacking follows the same steps with a heavier material, and the concrete lifting result looks identical from above. The concrete comes back to level in one pass.
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 Raleigh 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 across the Triangle, Durham included, are scheduled inside a couple of days. A repair visit takes one crew and one day, and the concrete is walkable before they leave.
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. The written price covers the repair and any raising work in one number, with no separate concrete charge added later.
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 are proper concrete lifting methods. Neither one is a patch. Both fix the concrete without replacing it.

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 costs less to lift than to replace, every time. A repair on one slab costs far less than replacing the concrete around it.
Cecil clay covers most of the area. It swells when it rains and shrinks when it's dry. That movement creates voids under your slab, and the slab drops into them. Add the freeze and thaw cycles we get most winters, and the voids grow faster. That movement is why uneven concrete shows up across so much of the area, and why a repair that skips the void will not hold. Uneven concrete near the foundation is the most common call we get.
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 cost if it moves, and the repair is documented for your records. If the concrete moves again inside two years the repair is on us.
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. Polyurethane injection is the technical name for the foam method, and it is the one we reach for on most concrete work.
Yes for foam — it reaches near-full strength in about fifteen minutes, so you can walk on it right away and drive on it the same day. Mud takes about twenty-four hours before you should drive on it. Either way the repair is finished the same day the crew arrives, and the concrete is ready to use.
Yes. We cover the full Triangle area, including Cary, Apex, Wake Forest, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Garner, Knightdale, and Morrisville. If you're nearby and not sure, give us a call and we'll let you know. Durham and the rest of the Triangle get the same services, the same crew, and the same response. Durham homeowners get the same pricing.
