TOP-RATED IN KANSAS

Last Updated: July 3, 2026

Have you noticed a new tripping hazard on your driveway lately? You might be searching for concrete leveling & mudjacking options to avoid tearing the whole thing out.

Fixing that uneven concrete is usually much simpler than a massive demolition project.

Our team at Wichita Foundation Solutions specializes in lifting those settled slabs right back to where they belong. Grab a cup of coffee, and let’s go through the details together.

## Why slabs sink in Kansas

We see a lot of sunken concrete around Sedgwick County. The concrete itself rarely fails on its own. It sinks because the soil beneath it eroded, compacted, or shifted.

Our south-central Kansas soil features heavy clay that expands when wet and shrinks during hot summer droughts. This constant weather cycle creates empty pockets underneath your driveway. Gravity quickly takes over once a void forms.

We prefer lifting a sound slab back to grade because it saves you the headache of a total replacement. Data from local Wichita projects shows that leveling typically costs 60% to 70% less than tearing everything out and pouring fresh cement. If your slab itself is still intact, 

leveling almost always wins on cost and time

.

### Signs it is time to lift a slab

You should keep a close eye out for a few specific warning signs around your property. Our technicians recommend acting quickly when you spot these issues to prevent further foundation damage.

Here are the most common red flags:

-   A visible lip at an expansion joint you keep stubbing your toe on.
-   Changes in height over 1/4 inch, which the Americans with Disabilities Act officially classifies as a tripping hazard.
-   Doors on a garage or shed that no longer close because the floor tilts.
-   Puddling on a driveway or patio that used to drain properly.
-   A cracked driveway that has tilted toward the house, threatening your basement with water damage.

## Surfaces we level

We lift and stabilize concrete across the Wichita metro on both residential and commercial properties. This specialized process handles a massive variety of settlement problems.

### Driveways and garage aprons

Our most common calls involve dropping garage aprons. The heavy weight of daily vehicle traffic speeds up soil compaction around these entry points.

We lift the driveway or apron back to grade so vehicles roll smoothly and water drains away from the house. Resolving this issue quickly keeps rainwater from washing out the soil next to your foundation walls. You can find all the details in our guide covering 

driveway, sidewalk, and patio leveling

.

### Sidewalks, porches, and patios

Trip hazards are a major liability, especially at commercial properties and local storefronts. You want to address uneven surfaces before someone trips and gets hurt.

> City ordinances in Wichita hold property owners responsible for maintaining safe, level sidewalks to prevent pedestrian injuries.

We handle sidewalk and patio lifts in a few hours with small, patched injection holes. Restoring the surface eliminates the danger for pedestrians and protects you from potential lawsuits.

### Pool decks and pool cages

Pool decks naturally settle around the pool structure over time due to ground saturation. Leaving a sunken deck untreated can eventually pinch underground plumbing lines or crack the expensive coping tiles.

Our crews lift them without damaging the tile or the pool structure itself. Precision methods provide gentle, even support for the surrounding concrete.

## Mudjacking vs polyurethane foam

Both work. Both lift the slab. The real tradeoffs involve material cost, cure time, hole size, and long-term behavior under heavy Kansas rain.

We want you to have all the facts before making a decision. The heavy slurry used in traditional mudjacking weighs around 100 pounds per cubic foot, while polyurethane foam weighs only 2 to 4 pounds per cubic foot. Our favorite advantage of polyurethane is the incredibly fast curing process.

Foam hardens in roughly 15 to 30 minutes, whereas mudjacking requires a 24 to 48 hour waiting period before you can drive on it. Here is a quick breakdown of how the two options compare:

| Feature | Traditional Mudjacking | Polyurethane Foam |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Material Weight | ~100 lbs per cubic foot | 2 to 4 lbs per cubic foot |
| Cure Time | 24 to 48 hours | 15 to 30 minutes |
| Injection Hole Size | Up to 2 inches | 3/8 inch (dime-sized) |
| Water Resistance | Can wash away over time | Completely waterproof |

FREQUENTLY ASKED

## Common Concrete Leveling Questions

Is concrete leveling really cheaper than replacement? +

Yes, usually far cheaper and faster when the slab is still structurally sound. Replacement is only worth it if the slab is crumbling or spalled.

How long does the surface stay usable? +

Properly lifted slabs commonly last decades. Polyurethane foam resists washout better than sand slurry, which matters under heavy Kansas rain.

How big are the holes? +

Injection ports are small, roughly coin- to golf-ball-sized depending on the method. They are patched and blend in.

How soon can I drive on the driveway? +

Often the same day. Polyurethane cures in minutes; sand slurry takes longer but is still usually usable within 24 hours.

FROM OUR NEIGHBORS

## What Kansas Homeowners Say

Real reviews from people whose foundations, basements, and driveways we have stabilized.

> "Our basement wall was bowing and I braced for a hard sell. Instead they walked me through carbon fiber straps versus anchors and gave an honest, fair quote. The wall's been solid ever since."

> "After every heavy rain our basement flooded. Their interior drainage and sump backup finally fixed it. Bone dry through the worst storms this spring."

> "Our driveway had sunk almost two inches and was a real trip hazard. They lifted it back to level in a single morning. You can't even tell where the holes were."

> "A family-owned company that actually knows Kansas soil. No pressure, no scare tactics, just a clear plan and a fair price. Exactly what you want when your foundation is on the line."

> "Water pooled along the back of the house for years. Their French drain and regrading moved it all away. No more standing water and no more worry about the foundation."
