Concrete settlement is a common problem for residential and commercial properties in Kansas. Sunken cracked concrete walkways, driveways, steps and indoor concrete flooring don't get better on their own. They become serious safety hazards and should be addressed quickly to avoid further sinking. Lifting concrete back to its initial level will restore its usability and preserve your property value.

Concrete sinks and cracks as a result of shifting soils, a weak soil base, or erosion, sometimes all three. Soils in Kansas range in composition and their ability to support loads such as concrete. The Kansas state soil, the "Harney" series, is a silty clay loam at all layers. The clay elements in this and other soil varieties in the state expand and shrink with changes in ground moisture. Especially during warmer, dry spells, clayey soil will shrink and form voids. When the weight above the soil exceeds the soil below, the soil will compact and settle. A heavy concrete slab above the soil will start to sink and crack over these voids and weaker soil base. When researching concrete repair or leveling techniques, look for a solution that addresses the soil conditions underneath your concrete.
Alternative methods for repairing and raising concrete slabs include full concrete replacement and a technique called "mud jacking.” Mud jacking entails creating a thick slurry to fill in gaps underneath sunken concrete. Both approaches are costly, time-consuming, disruptive to your property, and add more weight above the compacting soil.
