Notice one corner of your slab sitting lower than the rest? That's slab lifting territory, not a full foundation job.
Slab lifting raises a sunken section of concrete back to grade by filling the void underneath it. Melissa Concrete Lifting handles this on driveways, patios, garage floors, and walkways where fill dirt settled after the pour. It's a targeted fix, not a structural rebuild.

How our Concrete Slab Lifting process works
Step 1Site visit and slab assessment
Walk the slab, mark low points and cracked joints.
Step 2Void depth check
Probe or sound the slab to gauge how much space needs filling.
Step 3Method selection
Foam for lighter, faster jobs; mudjacking slurry for larger voids.
Step 4Drilling access holes
Small ports placed at calculated spots on the slab.
Step 5Injection and lift
Material pumped in stages while the slab is monitored for level.
Step 6Patch, seal, and verify
Holes patched, level rechecked, area cleared for use.
FAQs
Concrete Slab Lifting FAQs
Can slab lifting fix a garage floor pulling away from the house?
Usually, yes. Garage slabs are often poured separate from the home's foundation, so a gap at the threshold is typically slab settlement, not a foundation crack. We check the gap and void depth before recommending a fix.
How do I know if it's slab settling and not a foundation problem?
Slab settling tends to stay isolated to one flatwork section: a driveway, patio, or garage floor. Foundation issues usually show up as diagonal wall cracks, sticking doors, or movement across multiple rooms. When in doubt, we'll tell you honestly if it looks like more than a slab issue.
Does slab lifting work on all types of concrete?
It works well on driveways, patios, garage floors, sidewalks, and pool decks. Thickness and reinforcement (rebar vs. wire mesh) affect which method we recommend.
Will the lifted slab settle again?
It can, if the underlying soil keeps moving. Filling the void addresses the current gap; ongoing clay soil shrink-swell cycles are a separate, longer-term factor.
How soon can I use the slab after lifting?
Foam-based lifts often support light foot traffic within hours. Larger mudjacking jobs need more cure time before vehicle loads. We'll give you a specific window at the estimate.
Is slab lifting cheaper than replacing the concrete?
Generally yes, since you're not tearing out and repouring. Replacement makes more sense when the slab itself is cracked through or badly deteriorated.
