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?

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

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 Indiana and Illinois?

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

Problems We Fix

Uneven Concrete Around Your Home or Business?

Settled concrete is more than just an eyesore. Uneven slabs can create trip hazards, drainage problems, cracked joints, and damage around your property over time. At HowellSlabJacking, we specialize in lifting settled concrete back toward its original grade without tearing it out and replacing it.

WE LIFT SETTLED CONCRETE.

For over 35 years, we have helped homeowners and businesses across Central Indiana & Central Illinois repair settled driveways, sidewalks, patios, garage floors, commercial slabs, and more using Traditional SlabJacking methods.

“The Oldest, Most Experienced SlabJacker in Our Area!”

Common Problems We Fix

Sunken Driveways

Driveways are one of the most common areas for settlement problems. Over time, the ground underneath the slab can settle or wash out, causing sections of the driveway to sink.

This can lead to:

Water pooling near the garage
Large trip edges
Cracked concrete
Drainage problems
Vehicles scraping uneven sections

Our Traditional SlabJacking process can often lift settled driveway sections back into place at a fraction of the cost of replacement.

Uneven Walkways & Sidewalks

Trip hazards around sidewalks and walkways are not only frustrating — they can become a serious safety issue.

We commonly lift:

Front walkways
Sidewalk panels
Garden paths
Entry sidewalks
Commercial walkways

In many cases, settled sidewalk panels can be lifted in just a few hours with minimal disruption.

See our Walkway & Sidewalk SlabJacking page for more information.

Settled Garage Floors

Garage floors can settle for many different reasons:

Poor base compaction
Water erosion
New construction settlement
Voids under the slab

This can create:

Cracks through the floor
Separation near walls
Water draining toward the home
Uneven floor surfaces

We have lifted thousands of garage floors over the last 3.5 decades.

Some floors we lifted decades ago are still holding today.

Sinking Steps

Concrete steps can become dangerous when they settle or pull away from the home.

This often creates:

Large gaps
Uneven step heights
Tripping hazards
Drainage issues near the foundation

Settled steps can often be carefully lifted back into alignment without complete replacement.

Sunken Patios & Porches

Patios and porches are intentionally poured with drainage in mind. That means they are not always meant to be perfectly “level.”

At HowellSlabJacking, we focus on restoring slabs closer to their original grade while helping maintain proper drainage away from the home.

This is one reason experience matters.

An experienced SlabJacker understands the difference between:

proper drainage pitch
and
simply making something “level.”

Water Pooling Problems

Water pooling on concrete is often a sign of settlement.

When slabs sink, water may begin draining:

toward the home
into the garage
against foundations
into sidewalks or joints

Over time, this can worsen erosion underneath the slab and create additional settlement problems.

Lifting settled concrete can often help improve drainage and reduce pooling issues.

Voids Under Concrete

Sometimes the biggest problem is not what you see on top — but what is happening underneath the slab.

Water, erosion, rodents, or settling soil can create empty spaces under concrete.

These voids may eventually lead to:

cracking
sinking
slab movement
unsupported concrete

Our SlabJacking process pumps material under pressure beneath the slab to help fill voids and support the concrete.

Cracked Concrete

Concrete cracks. That is simply the nature of concrete.

As the old saying goes:
“Concrete is guaranteed to do two things — get hard & crack.”

The goal of SlabJacking is not to make cracks disappear completely. The goal is to lift settled sections back toward their original position and reduce separation between joints and cracks.

Once lifted, cracks and joints can often be caulked or sealed as needed.

Why Concrete Sinks

There are many reasons concrete settles over time:

Soil compaction
Water erosion
Poor drainage
New construction settlement
Freeze/thaw cycles
Rodent activity
Voids under slabs

Even newly poured concrete can settle if the base underneath continues to move.

That is one reason why replacing concrete does not always solve the problem long-term.
