Concrete Leveling in Central Illinois & Indiana

Uneven Commercial Concrete Creating Safety Problems?

Uneven commercial concrete can create more than an appearance problem. Settled concrete around warehouses, factories, loading areas, entrances, sidewalks, and commercial floors can become a safety concern, create liability issues, and make daily operations more difficult.

At HowellSlabJacking, we have been helping property owners Lift Settled Concrete since 1989. We have Specialized in SlabJacking for over 35 years, helping businesses across Indianapolis and Central Indiana restore settled concrete without the cost and disruption of complete replacement.

Many newer companies may call it “concrete leveling,” but in many situations commercial concrete must be restored carefully while maintaining proper drainage and matching adjacent sections. Experience matters.

Commercial SlabJacking Indiana

Why Commercial Concrete Sinks

Commercial concrete is constantly exposed to heavy use and changing conditions beneath the slab. Over time, support beneath the concrete can shift or wash away.

Common causes include:

  • Soil settlement beneath the slab
  • Heavy vehicle traffic
  • Poor compaction during construction
  • Water erosion
  • Drainage problems
  • Freeze and thaw cycles
  • Voids beneath concrete
  • Long-term ground movement

When support underneath the slab changes, the concrete can begin settling and creating uneven areas.

If ignored, the problem often becomes worse over time.


Signs You May Need Commercial SlabJacking

You may notice:

  • Uneven loading areas
  • Trip hazards near entrances
  • Water pooling around buildings
  • Sinking sidewalks
  • Uneven warehouse floors
  • Gaps beneath concrete
  • Cracks widening over time
  • Concrete pulling away from structures

Smaller problems are often easier and less expensive to address before they become larger repairs.

If commercial concrete around your property is settling, there is often a good chance nearby surfaces are experiencing similar issues. We also help property owners restore driveways, garage floors, walkways & sidewalks, steps, patios, and concrete slabs. Whether the issue involves safety concerns, water pooling, or settled concrete sections, our Traditional SlabJacking process helps restore concrete without unnecessary replacement.

    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!

    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 Commercial SlabJacking

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

    At HowellSlabJacking, experience matters. The material itself is only one part of the process. Knowing where to place the holes and how material should spread beneath large commercial slabs comes from decades in the field.

    Step 1: Inspect & Drill

    We inspect the concrete and identify areas where support has been lost beneath the slab. Small access holes are drilled in strategic locations.

    Step 2: Pump Material Beneath The Slab

    Material is pumped beneath the concrete under pressure to fill voids and carefully lift settled sections.

    Step 3: Lift, Support & Finish

    The slab is restored toward its original position while maintaining support and matching surrounding areas as closely as possible.

    Most projects can often be completed with minimal interruption to daily operations.

    Commercial SlabJacking FAQs

    We help restore many types of commercial concrete including warehouse floors, sidewalks, loading areas, entrances, industrial floors, parking areas, and other settled concrete surfaces. Every job is different, so we evaluate each situation individually before recommending a solution.

    Many times yes. One advantage of Traditional SlabJacking is that projects can often be completed with minimal interruption to operations. Every project varies depending on access, safety concerns, and the amount of work involved.

    Not always. Replacement often involves demolition, disposal costs, downtime, and major disruption. Traditional SlabJacking frequently allows businesses to restore existing concrete while avoiding many of those issues. You can also learn more about our SlabJacking Process and how it works.

    No two projects are exactly the same. Cost depends on the amount of settlement, access to the area, slab size, voids beneath the concrete, and scheduling. We evaluate each project individually before providing recommendations.

    Nothing is permanent. Ground movement and erosion can continue affecting concrete over time. However, our material itself does not sink. When erosion and drainage problems are controlled, many lifted slabs remain stable for many years.

    Both methods can work well and each has advantages depending on the situation. One of the biggest factors is not simply the material itself but the experience of the contractor performing the work. You can learn more on our SlabJacking vs Poly Foam Lifting page.

    Scheduling depends on the size of the project, location, weather, and current workload. Some projects can be completed quickly while others require more planning and coordination.
