Patios

Why Do Patios Sink?

Patios settle when the soil beneath them shifts, erodes, or compacts over time. This creates voids under the slab, causing sections to sink and become uneven.

Common causes include:

• Poorly compacted soil during construction
• Water erosion from rain, snowmelt, or poor drainage
• Tree roots disturbing the soil
• Natural soil settling over time
• Downspouts directing water under or near the patio

Left untreated, sunken sections get worse. Cracks form. Water pools against the house instead of draining away. And what started as a small dip becomes a bigger—and more expensive—problem.

The Fix: Patio Lifting

Patio lifting raises your existing concrete back to level using expanding polyurethane foam. We drill small holes, inject the foam underneath, and it expands to lift the slab into place.

• Saves 50–70% compared to full patio replacement
• Done in hours – not days or weeks
• Use it the same day
• No heavy equipment tearing up your yard
• Long-lasting results that won’t wash out or erode

Signs Your Patio Needs Lifting

• Uneven or sunken sections
• Cracks forming along settled areas
• Water pooling near the house instead of draining away
• Lips or edges that create trip hazards
• Gaps forming between the patio and foundation

If you’re seeing any of these signs, it’s time to get an estimate before the problem gets worse.
