Lift sunken driveways, patios, garage floors, and interior slabs
Sunken driveways, cracked sidewalks that are trip hazards, and patios that slope toward the house are common across Tulsa, especially where clay under the slab has washed out or shrunk.
Polyurethane foam lifting
Small holes (about 5/8 inch) are drilled through the slab and a two-part foam is injected. It expands, fills voids, and lifts the slab. Foam is light, cures in minutes, and leaves small patches.
Mudjacking (slabjacking)
A cement-based slurry is pumped through larger holes. It costs less per square foot than foam but is heavier, which can add load to weak soil, and the larger holes are more visible.
When slab lifting is the right call
- Driveways, walkways, porches, patios, and pool decks that have sunk
- Garage floors and some interior slab sections with voids underneath
- Concrete sloping toward the house and directing water at the foundation
When it isn't
If the house itself is settling, foam under the slab won't stop the footing from moving. That calls for piers. A trustworthy contractor will tell you the difference instead of selling foam for everything.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does foam lifting last?
Polyurethane foam doesn't break down in soil, so the lift usually lasts as long as the underlying soil stays stable. Fixing the drainage that caused the washout helps a lot.
Can I drive on it right away?
With foam, usually within an hour or so. Mudjacking typically needs a day.
