Lifting sunken concrete instead of replacing it
When a stoop, walk or garage floor sinks in one piece, the concrete is usually fine and the ground under it is what moved. Lifting puts it back by filling the void from below. Mudjacking pumps a cement slurry through a few drilled holes, and polyurethane foam does the same through smaller holes and is ready to use much sooner.
Mudjacking runs about $4 to $7 per square foot and foam $7 to $12, with no tear-out, no hauling and no week of curing. It is the wrong fix for concrete that is broken through or crumbling on top. See concrete leveling.
Lifting only lasts if the cause is dealt with. A downspout that empties beside a step, or a garage door where meltwater runs in and under the slab, will wash out the new fill just as it washed out the old soil, so redirect the water first. Where a garage floor has dropped at the door and also cracked across, the sound back half can sometimes be lifted and only the broken strip at the front replaced, which costs far less than a whole new floor.

Concrete questions from Ross Township
How to fix uneven concrete under garage door?
If the front of the floor has dropped but is still in one piece, it can be lifted by mudjacking or foam. If it is broken, cut out the front strip and repour it, then seal the joint at the door so water stops getting under it.
How to fix a sinking concrete step?
If the step is solid, fill the void under it by mudjacking or foam, then send roof water away from it. A step that has cracked away from the house or crumbled needs replacing.
Can a concrete company lift a sunken stoop or garage floor in Ross Township?
