Uneven Patio Creating Trip Hazards Or Water Pooling?

Yes. Patios are normally built with slight pitch so water moves away from your home. When a patio settles, the slope can change and begin directing water toward the structure instead of away from it. Over time this can create drainage problems. You can learn more about how our SlabJacking Process helps restore proper support beneath settled concrete.

Not necessarily. Many patios can be restored without tearing out perfectly usable concrete. Traditional SlabJacking often helps property owners avoid demolition and replacement costs while keeping their existing concrete in place. You can also read about Traditional SlabJacking vs Poly Foam Lifting to understand different lifting methods.

Every job is different because patio size, access, settlement, and void conditions vary. Most residential SlabJacking jobs generally run between $600–$1,900, although larger jobs may be more depending on the project.

Yes. Concrete naturally cracks over time. As Charlton often says, concrete is guaranteed to do two things: get hard and crack. In many situations cracked concrete can still be lifted if the slab itself remains structurally usable. We also commonly lift nearby steps and walkways & sidewalks that may be settling together.

Nothing is permanent, but when erosion problems are controlled and proper support exists beneath the slab, lifted patios often remain stable for many years. Over the past 35+ years HowellSlabJacking has lifted tens of thousands of slabs that have continued performing well long after the work was completed.

Scheduling depends on location, weather, workload, and the size of the project. Some jobs can be worked into the schedule quickly while others may take longer. You can submit an estimate request through our Contact Page to get started.

Patios are only one of the many surfaces we work on. We also lift concrete floors, garage floors, pool decks, porches, and other settled concrete around residential properties.
