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.

Concrete Lifting vs “Concrete Leveling”

Over the years, some companies have popularized the term “Concrete Leveling.” But in many situations, the goal is not actually to make the concrete perfectly level.

Driveways, sidewalks, patios, and porches are often intentionally poured with slope so water drains away from the structure properly.

The goal of SlabJacking is usually to restore the slab closer to its original grade while helping maintain proper drainage.

An experienced SlabJacker understands the difference.

Why Experience Matters

SlabJacking is a specialized trade that takes years of real field experience.

Proper lifting depends on:

where holes are placed
how material spreads underneath the slab
how voids are filled
how the lift is controlled
understanding soil movement and drainage

There is no substitute for real-world experience.

Many newer companies may only have a few years of experience. HowellSlabJacking has Specialized in SlabJacking for over 35 years.
