Concrete Slab Leveling in Denver, CO
Lift sunken driveways, walks, patios and garage slabs with polyurethane foam or mudjacking instead of tearing out the concrete.
Concrete Slab Leveling in Denver
Denver's freeze and thaw cycles and moisture-sensitive soils leave many driveways, walks and patios sunken or tilted toward the house. Slab leveling injects material under the concrete to raise it back into place, often in a few hours. When a slab tilts toward the foundation, fixing it also helps keep water away from the basement.
Signs you may need this
- A patio or walk that slopes back toward the house
- Trip edges between sidewalk or driveway sections
- Gaps opening between a slab and the foundation wall
- Water pooling on concrete near the house after storms
- A garage floor or stoop that has dropped
How it usually works
- 1
Inspect the slab
The contractor checks how far the slab has dropped and whether it is cracked into pieces.
- 2
Drill small holes
Small holes are drilled through the slab at planned points.
- 3
Inject and lift
Polyurethane foam or a cement-based slurry is pumped under the slab to raise it.
- 4
Patch and seal
Holes are patched, and joints are often sealed to keep water out.
What affects the price
Typical range: $3 - $12 / sq ft. Your exact price is set after an on-site look.
Foam vs. mudjacking
Polyurethane foam usually costs more per square foot than mudjacking but is lighter and sets faster.
Slab size and thickness
Larger or thicker slabs need more material.
Condition of the concrete
Badly broken slabs may be better replaced than lifted.
Joint sealing
Caulking joints and gaps after the lift adds modest cost but helps the repair last.
Questions homeowners ask
Is foam or mudjacking better?
Foam is lighter and cures quickly, while mudjacking often costs less. A pro can explain which fits your slab and budget.
Can a basement floor be leveled this way?
Interior basement slabs in Colorado are often designed to float, so movement there may be from soil heave. Have it evaluated before choosing a fix.
How soon can I use the slab?
Foam-lifted slabs are often usable the same day, while mudjacked slabs may need longer to cure.
