Do you provide SlabJacking in Central Indiana & Central Illinois?

Yes. HowellSlabJacking provides Traditional SlabJacking services in Central Indiana & Central Illinois and surrounding areas. We help property owners restore settled driveways, sidewalks, patios, porches, steps, garage floors, concrete slabs, and commercial concrete without tearing everything out and replacing it.

Traditional SlabJacking is a proven method used to Lift Settled Concrete by pumping material beneath the slab to fill voids and restore support. The goal is usually restoring concrete back toward its original grade without tearing it out and replacing it.

Is SlabJacking the same as concrete leveling?

Not always. Most concrete is intentionally poured with pitch so water drains properly away from homes and structures. The goal is generally restoring concrete toward its original position rather than making everything perfectly level.

How much does SlabJacking cost in Central Indiana & Central Illinois?

Every project is different, but many residential SlabJacking projects typically range from approximately $600–$1,900 depending on access, size, settlement, location, and scheduling.

How long does SlabJacking last?

Nothing is completely permanent. However, HowellSlabJacking has lifted tens of thousands of slabs over more than 35 years that have remained stable for many years when erosion and outside conditions are controlled.

Do you serve both Indiana and Illinois?

Yes. HowellSlabJacking serves property owners throughout Central Indiana and Central Illinois including Indianapolis, Greenwood, Plainfield, Avon, Bloomington, Decatur, Champaign, Normal, and surrounding areas.

Uneven Pool Deck Creating Trip Hazards Around Your Pool?

If your pool deck has started sinking, becoming uneven, separating at joints, or creating trip hazards around the pool, the problem usually does not fix itself. In many cases, it slowly becomes worse over time and can create safety concerns for family members and guests.

At HowellSlabJacking, we have been helping property owners Lift Settled Concrete since 1989. We have Specialized in SlabJacking for over 35 years, helping homeowners across Indianapolis and Central Indiana restore settled pool decks without the cost and mess of tearing out and replacing concrete.

Pool decks are especially important because appearance and safety both matter. Uneven concrete around a pool can create tripping hazards while also causing drainage issues and standing water.

Why Pool Decks Sink

Pool decks can settle for many reasons. The concrete itself usually is not the problem. The issue often starts below the slab.

Common causes include:

Soil settling beneath the concrete
Water erosion around the pool area
Poor compaction during installation
Pool splash-out creating moisture problems
Drainage issues
Freeze and thaw cycles
Voids forming beneath the slab

When support beneath the concrete changes, sections of the pool deck can begin settling and shifting.

If ignored, the problem often becomes worse over time.

Signs Your Pool Deck May Need SlabJacking

You may notice:

Uneven sections around the pool
Trip hazards near walking areas
Water collecting in certain areas
Concrete pulling apart at joints
Sections sitting lower than surrounding slabs
Widening cracks
Areas beginning to sink near the pool edge
Gaps forming beneath the slab

Many property owners wait until the issue becomes severe, but smaller problems are often easier and less expensive to address.

If your pool deck is sinking, there is a good chance other concrete around your property may also be settling. We also help property owners lift driveways, walkways & sidewalks, steps, patios, garage floors, and concrete slabs. Whether you are dealing with trip hazards, uneven surfaces, or settled concrete sections, our Traditional SlabJacking process helps restore concrete without the cost and mess of replacement.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Howell Concrete lifters lift a few sections of our driveway and sidewalk that had settled over time. The driveway had settled so much that it was approximately 4" lower than the garage floor and a major tripping hazard. I had another local company do an estimate prior to getting one from Howell and the price was nearly three times higher than Howell. They scheduled the job quickly and did an excellent job! They were friendly, efficient, and cleaned up the site very well. I recently contacted them again after approximately three - four years because the driveway had settled slightly again where it met the garage floor and they came out and re-lifted the same area plus another part of the driveway never lifted before and all for no charge! I understand that there is normally a charge after a certain amount of time but they waved the fee. You don't find this kind of customer service these days! Thank you David & Crew!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The folks at Howell Concrete Lifters exceeded my hopes and expectations.  I was faced with the serious possibility of having to jack hammer concrete stairs and driveway.  Settling had made my front stoop over three inches different at the top step from the height of our other stairs and going into our garage was a very bumpy rider.  It looked terrible.  After looking at reviews I gave them a call, received a visit, an honest discussion of what to expect and an estimate.  Within 10 days of accepting they were on site, on time, and very efficient.  My front stoop look and does its job so much better and my driveway is flat.  Great pricing with huge savings over concrete replacement.  I recommend them really enjoyed working with them.  They saved me thousands of dollars.

Our Fix: Traditional Pool Deck SlabJacking

Traditional SlabJacking has been a tried and proven method for lifting settled concrete for decades.

At HowellSlabJacking, experience matters. Pool areas often require careful lifting because maintaining proper drainage and smooth transitions around the pool is important. Knowing where to place holes and how much material to pump beneath the slab comes from decades of experience in the field.

Step 1: Inspect & Drill

We inspect the pool deck and identify areas that have lost support beneath the slab. Small access holes are drilled in strategic locations.

Step 2: Pump Material Beneath The Slab

Material is pumped beneath the pool deck under pressure to fill voids and carefully lift the slab.

Step 3: Lift, Support & Finish

The slab is carefully brought back toward its original position while matching surrounding sections as closely as possible.

Most residential jobs can often be completed in less than a day.

Pool Deck SlabJacking FAQs

Yes. Uneven concrete around a pool can create trip hazards where people are often walking barefoot or carrying towels, toys, or pool equipment. Even a small height difference between slabs can become a problem. Restoring settled concrete can help improve safety while maintaining the appearance of the pool area.

Not necessarily. Much like driveways and patios, pool decks are often designed with slight pitch to help water drain properly. The goal is usually to restore the slab toward its original grade while maintaining proper drainage.

Every project is different. The amount of settlement, accessibility, voids beneath the slab, and size of the affected area can all impact pricing. Most residential SlabJacking jobs generally run between $600–$1,900, although larger jobs may be more.

Concrete naturally cracks over time. As Charlton often says, concrete is generally guaranteed to do two things: get hard and crack. The main goal of SlabJacking is restoring the slab and minimizing separation between joints and cracks. Related concrete sections like steps and walkways & sidewalks can often be lifted as well.

Nothing is completely permanent. Water erosion and continued soil movement can affect any concrete over time. However, if erosion is controlled and proper support exists beneath the slab, many lifted slabs remain stable for many years.

Not always. Replacement can be expensive, messy, and time consuming. Traditional SlabJacking often allows property owners to keep their existing concrete while restoring settled areas and avoiding major demolition work.

Scheduling depends on workload, location, weather conditions, and job size. Some jobs can be scheduled quickly while others may take longer. We work customers into the schedule as quickly as possible while coordinating jobs across Central Indiana and Central Illinois.
