What sinks a slab, and what lifting can fix
The 1992 county soil survey's model of Bastsil fine sandy loam comes from 1.4 miles north of the FM 933 and FM 1858 intersection: a very deep, well drained soil on Pleistocene-age terraces along the North Bosque and Brazos rivers. Whatever the ground, one published guide says a sinking slab very often sits on poorly compacted fill dirt, with erosion underneath and shrinking soils also possible.
Leveling goes after the trip edge. The 2010 ADA Standards, written for public places rather than the residential part of a private home, allow a vertical edge of up to ¼ inch, call for beveling, no steeper than 1:2, on a lip from ¼ to ½ inch, and count anything higher as a ramp.
NCFI Polyurethanes, whose geotechnical division is in Missouri City, Texas, lists its TerraThane 24-003 lifting foam at a free-rise density of 4 pounds per cubic foot and 80 psi compressive strength, with 95% of its cure done in 30 minutes and the full cure in 24 hours.

(254) 309-9254Raising a sunken panel
Gauge the drop
Each panel's drop is measured, and the ground, pipes and roots beneath it are checked for the cause.
Drill and fill
Small holes go through the slab, and foam or cement grout is pumped in until it rises.
Patch and walk it
Drill holes are patched, and each joint is checked for a lip that could still trip someone.

Questions about lifting sunken concrete
Is there another way to lift a slab besides foam and mudjacking?
Stone slurry grout is a third, listed beside the other two in national 2026 price figures. For a driveway, those figures run $900 to $4,200 with stone slurry grout, against $810 to $3,780 with mudjacking and $1,215 to $5,670 with foam.
Why would a driveway sink in just a few spots?
When only parts of a drive drop, the likely causes are a poorly compacted subgrade or soil washing out beneath it, one published guide says. Slabjacking, pumping a mix of sand, cement, fly ash and other additives beneath the slab, can raise those panels back to their original position.
What is the best way to level uneven concrete?
For a sound slab that has only sunk, slabjacking: a grout mix or foam is pumped underneath to lift it back to level. If roots or a leaking pipe are washing out the ground, any repair is temporary and replacement may be the only choice.
