Abilene Concrete Lifting & Slab Leveling

Concrete lifting in Abilene typically costs 50-70% less than full concrete replacement. Most residential projects range from $500 to $2,500 depending on the size and severity of the settlement. A free estimate will give you an exact price for your specific situation.

Mudjacking involves drilling small holes in the sunken concrete and pumping a cement slurry mixture beneath the slab to fill voids and raise the concrete back to its original level. It's a proven technique that has been used for decades throughout Taylor County.

Polyurethane foam injection is a modern alternative to mudjacking. A two-part expanding foam is injected beneath the slab, where it expands to fill voids and lift the concrete. It's lighter than mudjacking slurry and cures in about 15 minutes.

In Taylor County, concrete sinks primarily due to the expansive clay soils that shrink and swell with moisture changes. When soil dries out and shrinks, it creates voids beneath concrete slabs. Water erosion and poor compaction during original construction also contribute to settlement.

Concrete lifting is a long-lasting solution when the underlying soil conditions are addressed. In Abilene's clay soil environment, results typically last 5-10 years or more. Proper drainage around the lifted concrete helps extend the results.

Most residential concrete lifting projects in Abilene take 1-3 hours to complete. You can typically walk on the lifted concrete within 30 minutes of foam injection, or within a few hours for mudjacking. Driveways are usually ready for vehicle traffic the same day.

Most sunken concrete can be successfully lifted as long as the slab itself is structurally sound (not severely cracked or broken). Our contractors will assess your concrete during the free estimate to determine if lifting is the right solution.

Concrete lifting is appropriate when the slab is structurally sound but has settled due to soil movement. If the concrete is severely cracked, broken into multiple pieces, or deteriorated, replacement may be necessary. Our contractors will give you an honest assessment.
