How Concrete Jacking Works in Lincoln
- We arrive, inspect the slab, and confirm pricing.
- We drill 4–6 small holes (about quarter-sized) through the concrete.
- We pump material (cement slurry for mudjacking, polyurethane foam for polyjacking) under the slab through those holes.
- The material fills voids underneath and physically pushes the slab back to level.
- We patch the holes with concrete. Patches blend in within weeks.
- You can walk on it in 15–30 minutes. Drive on it the same day.
What We Lift in Lincoln

- Pool deck panels
- Basement and crawlspace floor slabs
Why Lincoln Has So Many Sunken Slabs
Lincoln sits on heavy clay soil that expands and contracts with moisture. Combined with the freeze-thaw cycle (which can hit 40+ cycles per winter), concrete slabs naturally settle as the soil compacts or erodes. Most homes built before 2010 will need at least one slab lifted within 15 years.

What We Don't Do
- We don't fix cracked or broken concrete (we lift it — if it's broken, you need replacement)
- We don't do new pours
- We don't fix slabs over major plumbing issues (the plumbing has to be fixed first)
