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.

Garage Floor Sinking Or Pulling Away From Walls?

If your garage floor has started sinking, cracking, pulling away from the walls, or creating uneven areas, the problem usually does not correct itself. In many cases, it slowly becomes worse over time and can eventually create larger problems throughout the structure.

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 garage floors without the cost and mess of tearing out and replacing concrete.

Many newer companies may call it “concrete leveling,” but when dealing with garage floors, the goal is often restoring the slab back toward its original position while creating a smooth, properly supported surface.

Why Garage Floors Sink

Garage floors can settle for several different reasons. Most of the time, the concrete itself is not the issue. The problem usually starts underneath the slab.

Common causes include:

Soil settling beneath the garage floor
Poor compaction during construction
Water erosion beneath the slab
Voids developing underneath concrete
New construction settlement
Drainage issues around the home
Rodent activity beneath slabs

When support underneath the concrete changes, the slab can begin sinking or separating.

If ignored, the problem often becomes worse over time.

Signs Your Garage Floor May Need SlabJacking

You may notice:

Cracks developing through the garage floor
Floor sections becoming uneven
Concrete pulling away from walls
Sinking near garage doors
Trip hazards
Water collecting in low areas
Gaps beneath walls or slabs
Visible settlement between sections

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

If your garage floor is settling, there is a good chance other concrete around your property may also be experiencing similar issues. We also help property owners restore driveways, walkways & sidewalks, steps, patios, porches, and concrete slabs. Whether you are dealing with trip hazards, separation, or settled concrete, our Traditional SlabJacking process helps restore support beneath the slab without replacement.

Garage Floor SlabJacking FAQs

Garage floors usually sink because the material beneath the slab settles or erodes over time. Poor compaction during construction, water movement, and natural soil changes are common causes. Similar issues can also affect nearby driveways and concrete slabs.

Yes, many cracked garage floors can still be lifted. Concrete naturally cracks because it is rigid and does not flex with ground movement. The goal of SlabJacking is usually restoring the slab back toward its original position while minimizing separation. Cracks themselves generally remain but often fit back together much better.

Not always. In many situations, replacing concrete means spending significantly more money while still depending on the same soil underneath the new slab. Traditional SlabJacking often allows property owners to restore support beneath existing concrete without demolition.

Nothing is permanent. Water erosion and ongoing settlement can affect any concrete surface. However, when proper support exists beneath the slab and erosion is controlled, lifted slabs often remain stable for many years. We have lifted tens of thousands of slabs over the last 35+ years.

Yes. Uneven concrete can create trip hazards and may also affect storage areas, work spaces, and vehicle movement. Smaller issues are often easier and less expensive to address before they become larger repairs.

Sometimes they do. If one area of the property is experiencing settlement, nearby concrete can experience similar issues. Property owners often notice similar problems with steps, walkways & sidewalks, and pool decks.
