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 it works

How our Concrete Lifting process works

  1. Site visit and slab assessment photo
    Step 1

    Site inspection

    We walk the slab and check for tilt, gaps, and the size of the void underneath.

  2. Method selection and plan photo
    Step 2

    Drill pattern layout

    Entry points get marked in a grid sized to the slab and lift needed.

  3. Material injection photo
    Step 3

    Injection holes drilled

    Small holes, roughly the size of a coin, are drilled at each marked point.

  4. Lift and level check photo
    Step 4

    Material injection

    Cement slurry or polyurethane foam is pumped beneath the slab under pressure.

  5. Height verification photo
    Step 5

    Level check

    We monitor the lift with a laser level as material fills the void.

  6. Follow-up check photo
    Step 6

    Hole patching

    Entry points are patched with hydraulic cement and finished smooth.

  7. Final walkthrough photo
    Step 7

    Cure and walk test

    Foam sets within the hour; slurry needs a longer cure before heavy loads.

  8. Clean the work area photo
    Step 8

    Final walkthrough

    We confirm the slab sits level and answer any questions before we leave.

Cost

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 typeTypical rangeWhat’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–$12per 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

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.

  • Two-part polyurethane foam photo

    Cementitious slurry mix

    The classic mudjacking material. Heavy enough to support driveways and garage floors, and cost-effective for larger panels.

  • Cement-based mudjacking slurry photo

    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.

  • High-density structural foam photo

    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 pump equipment photo

    Hydraulic cement patch mix

    Used to fill the injection holes after the lift. Sets fast and matches the surrounding slab texture.

  • Hydraulic cement sealant photo

    Void-fill grout

    A thinner-flow grout for hard-to-reach voids under sidewalks or narrow slab sections.

  • Drainage-grade backfill photo

    Drainage-grade backfill

    Placed where soil erosion under a slab edge needs more than just injection to stop repeat settling.

Timeline

How long does a Concrete Lifting take?

Most jobs wrap up in a single visit. Here's how the day typically breaks down. Foundation-tied work runs longer, sometimes multiple days, since it's a different scope than cosmetic slab lifting.

    Price was way more affordable than the other quotes we got for concrete lifting. Still felt premium — clean jobsite, solid finish, and I'd hire them again without thinking twice.

    Called Balch Springs Concrete Lifting after a neighbor tip in Balch Springs. Super easy to deal with — clear answers, no runaround, and they actually cared about the details on our sidewalk leveling.

    Honestly did not expect such a professional team. They showed up on time, explained every step, and the foundation repair turned out better than I pictured.

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.
