Water collects against the house
RESIDENTIAL CONCRETE LEVELING
Concrete Patio Leveling
Raise settled patio sections and improve drainage around outdoor living areas.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Signs the slab deserves a closer look.
A low patio can hold water or tilt furniture. It may also direct runoff toward the home. If the slab is still serviceable, lifting may restore a more useful height without rebuilding the entire outdoor area.

WHY IT MOVES
Start below the surface.
Concrete usually settles because the support below it changed. North Texas moisture swings and drainage can both play a part. So can disturbed fill.
Drainage at the house
Roof water and irrigation can concentrate along the patio edge and change the supporting soil.
Settled backfill
Soil near the foundation often differs from undisturbed ground and can compress over time.
Voids below large panels
A broad slab can bridge weak areas until a section begins to drop.
THE REPAIR PLAN
How we approach this surface.
Read the drainage
We look at the house, yard, joints, and any drains before deciding which direction the slab should move.
Protect adjacent finishes
Doors and siding set lift limits. Posts and stone may add more. Other outdoor features can too.
Raise and support
Foam fills accessible voids and moves suitable panels toward the planned height.
IS LIFTING A FIT?
Keep the concrete when the concrete is worth keeping.
An estimate should separate settlement from slab failure and explain the limits before work begins.
LIFTING MAY FIT
Look for sound, movable concrete.
- The patio is intact and has room to move
- The low area can be reached with an injection plan
- The desired slope works with surrounding slab heights
CONSIDER ANOTHER REPAIR
Some conditions need replacement or more investigation.
- The surface is extensively cracked or flaking
- The patio needs a completely new drainage design
- A roof or structural post depends on the slab in a way that prevents lifting
