Concrete Raising & Leveling in Central Minnesota

Slabjacking is a cost-effective, non-destructive method of concrete lifting that restores sunken slabs to their original position without replacing them. It’s ideal for residential, commercial, agricultural, and municipal properties needing a quick, lasting fix. From driveways and sidewalks to garage floors and foundations, our work prevents further damage while improving safety and curb appeal.

What Is Slabjacking?

Over time, concrete slabs can sink or rise due to shifting soil, erosion, or freeze-thaw cycles, causing uneven surfaces that lead to trip hazards, pooling water, and potential structural damage. When slabs slope toward your home, water can flow toward the foundation and leak into basements.

Slabjacking, also known as mudjacking, is a proven solution to lift and level sunken concrete without the need for costly demolition or full replacement. It’s a fast, effective way to repair and restore concrete on residential, commercial, agricultural, and municipal properties.

At Nissen Slabjacking, we help raise and level surfaces such as:

  • Driveways, patios, sidewalks, garage aprons, and garage floors

  • Commercial sidewalks, curbs, concrete shop floors, and customer entryways

  • Livestock barns, farm shelters, machinery pads, and outbuildings

  • Municipal handicap ramps, city sidewalks, maintenance garages, and shelters

How Nissen Slabjacking Raises & Levels Concrete

Our process is straightforward, efficient, and environmentally responsible. We begin by drilling small, 1-inch holes into the affected concrete slab. We then pressure-inject a sanded grout mixture, an eco-friendly, long-lasting material, beneath the surface. This fills voids and lifts the slab back into place.

Unlike foam methods, our grout will not break down over time, shift with moisture, or cause hidden erosion. Foam is often more expensive and may compromise long-term stability. At Nissen Slabjacking, we choose eco-friendly materials that are dependable, cost-effective, and safer for your property.

Once the concrete is level, we patch the drilled holes with a cement mix that blends with the surrounding surface. The entire process is clean, fast, and most surfaces can be used almost immediately.

Best of all, our concrete lifting cost is typically half the price of replacing concrete, making it an affordable choice for property owners. We back our work with a two-year warranty, and we promise honest service—if concrete leveling isn’t right for your situation, we’ll let you know.

first step drill through sunken concrete

Step 1

A pattern of 1" holes are drilled throughout the sunken concrete slab.

second step pump mud into void under concrete

Step 2

Grout is pumped to fill up the void and becomes pressurized this causes the slab to be raised to the desired height.

third step patch drill holes

Step 3

The holes are then patched with cement and will closely match the current concrete. The slab can be used almost immediately.

Why Concrete Becomes Unlevel

Concrete can become unlevel over time due to a variety of natural and environmental factors. The most common cause is soil movement beneath the slab, which can occur from erosion, poor compaction during construction, freeze-thaw cycles, or moisture changes in the ground. As the soil shifts, settles, or washes out, it creates voids under the concrete, causing sections to sink or tilt. Over time, these combined issues not only cause unsightly and unsafe surfaces but can also direct water toward a building’s foundation, increasing the risk of leaks and long-term damage. This often leads to cracking, tripping hazards, and improper drainage that may direct water toward your home’s foundation, increasing the risk of basement leaks or structural damage. Additional reason may include:

Aggregate Expansion

Cracking due to chemical reaction. Carbon dioxide in the air causes carbonation contributing to the break out in the concrete.

Leaching

When water flows through cracks in concrete, water may dissolve various minerals present in the hardened cement.

Stress Cracks

Caused by corrosion of reinforcement bars; expansion of corrosion can induce mechanical stress causing cracks.
