Sunken concrete can be an eyesore, but more importantly, it becomes a safety hazard. Whether it's your driveway, patio, or warehouse floor, lifting sunken concrete is an efficient and cost-effective way to restore your Yakima property. At Level Best Northwest, we offer several options to address this common issue, with a focus on using our eco-rise polyurethane foam.
Options for Leveling and Repairing Sunken Concrete
Polyurethane Foam Lifting (Eco-Rise)
Level Best Northwest uses Eco-Rise polyurethane foam to lift and level sunken concrete slabs. This method involves drilling small access holes into the affected concrete, injecting expanding foam beneath the slab, and sealing the holes once the foam has cured. The foam fills voids under the concrete and lifts the slab back to a practical level while adding minimal weight to the underlying support.
Eco-Rise foam lifting is a fast, cost-effective solution that works well for:
-
Sidewalks and walkways
-
Driveways and patios
-
Garage and basement floors
-
Entry steps and landings
-
Warehouse and commercial floor slabs
Most projects are completed in a single day with minimal disruption to surrounding areas. Find out more about our leveling service.

Methods We Do Not Use: Mudjacking
Level Best Northwest does not offer mudjacking. Mudjacking involves pumping a heavy cement-based slurry beneath a concrete slab to raise it. While this method has been used for many years, the added weight can contribute to future settlement and often requires larger holes and more cleanup.
​
We use polyurethane foam lifting instead because it is lighter, more precise, and better suited to the soil and environmental conditions found throughout Central and Eastern Washington.

When Concrete Replacement Is Necessary
In some cases, concrete may be too damaged to repair or lift effectively. Severe cracking, structural failure, or concrete that has broken into multiple pieces may require full slab replacement. Replacement involves removing the existing concrete and pouring a new slab, which is more time-consuming, more expensive, and can significantly disrupt landscaping and surrounding surfaces.
If replacement is the only viable option, Level Best Northwest will tell you honestly. Our goal is always to recommend the most practical and cost-effective solution based on the condition of your concrete, not to push unnecessary work.
Why Choose Eco-Rise for Lifting Sunken Concrete?
Eco-rise is a preferred choice for many property owners. Here's why:
-
Fast and economical: Lifting your concrete with eco-rise is less than half the cost of pouring new concrete. Plus, there's no need for demolition.
-
Lightweight and strong: Eco-rise foam is lightweight but has superior compression strength, ensuring long lasting stability.
-
Prevents future problems: The foam expands to fill voids, stopping further soil erosion and preventing future sinking.
-
Minimal disruption: With small holes drilled to inject foam, most jobs are completed in one day, without damage to your surrounding landscape.
-
No disposal costs: Since there is no demolition, you will not incur additional disposal costs.
Why Repair Instead of Replace?
Replacing concrete can be expensive and time-consuming. Lifting sunken concrete is a smart alternative, providing a durable and cost-effective solution to level your concrete slabs without the hassle of full replacement.
