Your slab sank because the soil moved under it. We lift it back to level, find out why it dropped, and help you keep it there - without the cost and mess of full replacement.
Foundation raising in Springdale, AR pumps material beneath a sunken concrete slab through small drilled holes to lift it back to its original level position - most residential jobs take two to eight hours and the surface is usable again the same day or within 24 hours depending on the method used.
If your driveway, garage floor, or patio has settled unevenly, the concrete itself is often still in good shape - it just needs to be lifted back into place. Foundation raising costs far less than tearing out and replacing a slab, and it creates far less disruption. In Springdale, where clay soil movement is a common culprit, many homeowners are surprised to learn their slab is a good candidate for lifting rather than replacement.
If the slab has shifted enough to affect framing above it, it may be worth also reviewing your slab foundation condition, or considering concrete cutting to remove sections that are too deteriorated to lift.
Stand at one end of your driveway, patio, or garage floor and look down the length of it. If one section is noticeably higher or lower than the rest, or water pools in spots after rain instead of draining away, the slab has likely shifted. This is the clearest sign that lifting may be needed.
Walk around the perimeter of your garage floor or any concrete slab attached to your house. If you can see a gap between the edge of the slab and the foundation wall, the concrete has pulled away from where it should be. In Springdale's clay-heavy soil, this gap often appears after a dry summer when the ground has contracted.
When a slab shifts, it can put pressure on the framing above it. If a door near your garage or a ground-floor room has started sticking or no longer closes smoothly - and you have not noticed any other obvious cause - a shifting slab may be the culprit.
Cracks that run along the edges of a slab or follow the joints between sections often signal that the slab has moved. In Springdale, these cracks tend to appear or worsen in late summer after the dry season has caused the soil to pull away beneath the concrete.
We offer both mudjacking and polyurethane foam injection, and we recommend one or the other based on the specific conditions at your property - not on which option costs more. Mudjacking is the traditional approach: a cement-and-soil slurry is pumped beneath the slab to fill voids and push the concrete upward. It is well-proven and cost-effective for most residential jobs. Foam injection uses a lightweight expanding foam that cures in about 15 minutes and holds up especially well in wet or shifting soil - conditions common in Springdale given the clay-heavy ground.
Every job starts with a root-cause assessment. If a broken drain line, chronic water pooling, or persistent soil erosion is behind the sinking, we flag that before we start lifting. Addressing the cause is what makes the repair last. We also offer concrete cutting for sections that are too deteriorated to lift safely, and slab foundation building when a full replacement pour is the smarter long-term investment.
Good fit for homeowners with a large area to lift and a tighter budget who want a proven, cost-effective method.
Best for slabs in wet or shifting soil conditions where a lightweight, fast-curing material holds up better long-term.
Recommended alongside any lift when water pooling or chronic soil movement is the likely cause of the sinking.
Springdale sits on clay-heavy soil that expands when wet and shrinks when dry. That wet-dry cycle - wet winters and early spring, then a long dry summer - is one of the leading reasons slabs sink here. The soil contracts beneath a slab, leaves a void, and the concrete settles into it. This is not a sign of a bad pour in most cases; it is a normal result of the conditions in this part of Arkansas. Many homes in central and older Springdale neighborhoods were built from the 1960s through the 1980s, when soil preparation standards were less rigorous than they are today, making settlement more likely in those areas.
We serve homeowners throughout Northwest Arkansas, including Fayetteville and Bentonville. Whether your home is near the Osage Creek drainage corridor or in a newer subdivision on the south side, we know what local soil and water conditions mean for a long-lasting slab lift.
We respond within 1 business day. Do not trust any quote given over the phone without a site visit - price depends on what we find when we see the slab in person.
We walk the area with you, measure how much the slab has dropped, and look for clues about why it sank - nearby downspouts, tree roots, signs of water pooling. We explain what we find in plain terms.
You receive a written estimate spelling out the method, number of holes, what the patching will look like, and the total cost. If a City of Springdale permit is required, we handle the paperwork.
We drill small holes, pump material beneath the slab until it rises to level, and patch every hole before leaving. Foam injection is walkable within an hour; mudjacking needs about 24 hours before driving on it.
We come to your property, walk the area with you, and give you a written quote before you decide anything. No obligation.
