Concrete Lifting
Concrete Lifting for homes and businesses in Balch Springs
Sinking slab in the driveway? Uneven patio catching your foot every time you walk out back? That's clay soil doing what clay soil does in this part of Dallas County.
Balch Springs Concrete Lifting raises and levels existing slabs instead of tearing them out. Balch Springs is an older, inner-ring Dallas suburb, and a lot of the housing stock here is mid-century construction now aging past 20 to 40 years. That's exactly when slab settling starts showing up on driveways, garage floors, and patios.

Why choose us
Why choose Balch Springs Concrete Lifting
Lifting specialists, not a general pour crew
Balch Springs Concrete Lifting focuses on raising and leveling existing slabs, so the method fits the actual problem instead of a one-size sales pitch.
Honest mudjacking vs. foam calls
We walk the slab, check the void depth, and recommend cement slurry or polyurethane foam based on load and soil, not whichever pays better.
Written estimates before any drilling
You see the price and the method in writing before a single hole gets drilled. No surprise change orders mid-job.
Clean job sites, patched holes
Injection holes get patched and finished flush. Crews sweep up before they leave.

How our Concrete Lifting process works
Step 1Site inspection
We walk the slab and check for tilt, gaps, and the size of the void underneath.
Step 2Drill pattern layout
Entry points get marked in a grid sized to the slab and lift needed.
Step 3Injection holes drilled
Small holes, roughly the size of a coin, are drilled at each marked point.
Step 4Material injection
Cement slurry or polyurethane foam is pumped beneath the slab under pressure.
Step 5Level check
We monitor the lift with a laser level as material fills the void.
Step 6Hole patching
Entry points are patched with hydraulic cement and finished smooth.
Step 7Cure and walk test
Foam sets within the hour; slurry needs a longer cure before heavy loads.
Step 8Final walkthrough
We confirm the slab sits level and answer any questions before we leave.

What does a Concrete Lifting cost in Balch Springs?
Every job's different, but here's the ballpark. Get a free estimate before assuming the worst. Lifting almost always costs less than tear-out and repour. That's the whole reason it exists as a repair category.
| Project type | Typical range | What’s included |
|---|---|---|
| Single slab foam lift | $500–$1,500, | one patio, walkway, or small garage floor section. |
| Multi-panel mudjacking | $1,000–$3,500, | driveway or larger patio with several low panels. |
| Foundation-tied lift | $3,000–$8,000+ | , structural settlement work, priers or deeper injection. |
| Full slab replacement | $6–$12 | per square foot, for comparison, this is usually 2 to 3 times the lifting cost. |
These are typical local ballparks — final cost depends on scope, materials, and site conditions. A free estimate gives you an accurate, itemized number for your home.

Materials and methods we use
What actually goes under your slab matters more than most homeowners realize, especially with clay soil doing its shrink-swell thing every season.
Cementitious slurry mix
The classic mudjacking material. Heavy enough to support driveways and garage floors, and cost-effective for larger panels.
Closed-cell polyurethane foam
Lightweight, water-resistant, cures in minutes. Works well on thinner slabs like patios where slurry weight risks over-stressing the pad.
Joint sealant
Applied at slab edges after a lift to keep water out of the joint, which matters when clay soil is already cycling wet and dry.
Hydraulic cement patch mix
Used to fill the injection holes after the lift. Sets fast and matches the surrounding slab texture.
Void-fill grout
A thinner-flow grout for hard-to-reach voids under sidewalks or narrow slab sections.
Drainage-grade backfill
Placed where soil erosion under a slab edge needs more than just injection to stop repeat settling.

DIY vs hiring a Concrete Lifting pro
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Crack filler or topping mix for hairline surface cracks | Drilling and injection equipment homeowners don't own |
| Ramp wedges as a temporary trip-hazard fix | Controlled lift that avoids over-correcting or new cracking |
| Fine for cosmetic surface issues, not for an actual sunken slab | Any job touching a permit-adjacent foundation tie-in |

Common questions
Concrete Lifting FAQs
How much does slab jacking cost?
Slab jacking usually runs $3 to $8 per square foot for mudjacking, and $5 to $12 for foam, depending on slab size and void depth. A small driveway panel might run a few hundred dollars; a full driveway or foundation-adjacent job climbs from there.
Is mudjacking or foam better?
Mudjacking costs less upfront and works well on heavier slabs like driveways. Foam is lighter, cures faster, and resists water better, which matters in clay soil that swells and shrinks with rain. We pick based on your slab's load and access.
How long does slab jacking last?
A properly lifted slab typically holds for 8 to 15 years before the same clay-soil movement causes it to settle again. Foam tends to outlast slurry slightly in wet cycles because it doesn't break down from moisture.
Does insurance cover concrete lifting?
Usually not. Homeowners insurance treats slab settling as gradual wear, not sudden damage, so it's typically an out-of-pocket repair. Check your specific policy, some do carve out exceptions for plumbing leaks that caused the settling.
How much does Concrete Lifting cost in Balch Springs?
Most residential jobs here land between $300 and $3,000, depending on how many slabs need lifting and which method fits. Driveway or foundation-tied work runs higher than a single sunken patio panel.
How long does Concrete Lifting take?
A single slab, like a garage floor or small patio, usually finishes in a few hours, same day. Multi-panel driveways or full patios can take most of a day. Full cure time before heavy vehicle traffic is typically 24 hours.
Do I need a permit for Concrete Lifting?
Most cosmetic slab releveling on your existing driveway, patio, or garage floor doesn't need a permit. Foundation-tied structural lifts or work touching a public sidewalk usually do. We'll flag it during the estimate.
Is DIY Concrete Lifting a good idea?
For hairline surface cracks, a DIY filler is fine. But it doesn't reach the void under the slab causing the sink. If the slab is actually tilted or dropped, DIY filler just hides the symptom while the gap keeps growing.
