Why Fix Uneven Concrete in Columbia?
In many well-established neighborhoods throughout Columbia and Jefferson City, uneven or sinking concrete is a growing concern. What might start as a cosmetic flaw can quickly become a liability and trip hazard. In fact, falls—many caused by uneven walking surfaces—are the #1 reason for ER visits in the U.S. annually.
Cracked or sunken concrete can:
- Put residents and visitors at risk
- Lead to
homeowners insurance violations
- Decrease property value
- Interfere with garage and patio usability
Whether it’s a cracked sidewalk or sunken steps, addressing these issues early helps protect your investment, your safety, and your home’s long-term value.

What Causes Concrete to Settle?
Concrete issues often originate below the surface. These are the most common contributors to slab sinking:
1. Poor Soil Conditions
Clay-heavy soils in Missouri expand when saturated and contract in dry weather, leading to instability and slab movement.
2. Poor Compaction
If backfilled soil wasn’t properly compacted during construction, it compresses over time and causes settling.
3. Tree Roots
Nearby trees and shrubs can draw gallons of water from the soil daily, causing surrounding concrete to sink as the soil contracts.
4. Poor Drainage
Improper drainage setups or misdirected downspouts can create pockets of saturated soil, weakening slab support.

The Polyjacking Process: Clean, Fast & Long-Lasting
We use polyjacking—the most innovative and durable method available today. Here's how it works:
Step 1:
We drill small, 5/8" holes at key points around the sunken slab.
Step 2:
We inject high-density polyurethane foam through those holes, which expands under the slab to fill voids and lift the concrete back into position.
Step 3:
We seal the holes and clean up, allowing the area to be used immediately—no waiting days for concrete to cure.
Unlike mudjacking, polyjacking uses lightweight foam that won’t reintroduce settling issues. It’s also cleaner, faster, and leaves a nearly invisible finish.
Mudjacking vs. Polyjacking in Columbia
Mudjacking
An older method using a heavy slurry of mud and cement. It’s cost-effective short term but uses similar material to the failing soil—meaning the problem can return.
Polyjacking
A more modern and precise method using polyurethane foam. Lightweight, long-lasting, and fast-curing—ideal for
residential and commercial concrete repairs across Mid-Missouri.
