We lift sunken concrete in Lincoln, NE and across surrounding communities including Waverly, Hickman, Crete, Seward, and Beatrice. We handle concrete jacking, mudjacking, concrete leveling, slab jacking, and modern polyjacking — all for a fraction of what concrete replacement costs. Most jobs are done in a single afternoon.
If your driveway, sidewalk, patio, garage floor, or pool deck has sunk even an inch, you don't need to tear it out. We can pump material underneath and lift it back to level the same day.
Concrete settles. Lincoln's freeze-thaw cycle and clay-heavy soil push slabs out of level every spring. We've been raising sunken concrete back to grade for years, working with homeowners, property managers, and small commercial operators across Lancaster County. Our crews show up on time, get the job done in hours instead of days, and stand behind the work.
Concrete Jacking in Lincoln, NE
"Concrete jacking" is the modern term for lifting sunken concrete slabs back into place. The process is simple: we drill small holes through the slab, pump material underneath to fill the void, and the slab rises back to level. Whole job is typically 2–4 hours. No demolition. No replacement cost.
Lincoln homeowners deal with this constantly because Nebraska's freeze-thaw cycle and expansive clay soils cause slabs to settle every year. If you've got a sunken driveway, sidewalk, patio, or pool deck, concrete jacking is almost always cheaper than replacement.
Most jobs in Lincoln run between $500 and $3,000, depending on slab size and how far it needs to lift.
Mudjacking in Lincoln, NE
Mudjacking is the traditional name for concrete jacking. It uses a cement-and-soil slurry pumped under the slab to lift it. It's been the standard method for decades and works well in Lincoln's soil conditions. Many homeowners still know the service by this name.
If you've heard the term "mudjacking" from a neighbor or contractor, that's what they're referring to. We do it the same way — modern equipment, same proven method, same affordable price compared to tearing concrete out.
Concrete Leveling Near Me
Whether you call it concrete leveling, slab raising, or concrete lifting, the goal is the same: take a sunken slab and put it back where it belongs. Common problem areas in Lincoln homes:
- Sunken driveway sections (especially near garage approach)
- Trip hazards in sidewalks and front walks
- Patio slabs that have settled toward the house
- Garage floors that have dipped near drain
- Pool deck panels that have shifted
- Steps and stoops that have separated from the home
If water is pooling, concrete is unlevel, or you've got a trip hazard — leveling fixes it.
Slab Jacking for Commercial & Residential Properties
Slab jacking is the same service applied at larger scale — commercial parking lots, warehouse floors, multi-unit residential walkways. We've raised slabs as small as a single sidewalk panel and as large as 5,000 square feet of warehouse floor.
For property managers in Lincoln, this is often the difference between a $3,000 repair and a $30,000 replacement. We can usually get in and out without shutting down the property.
Polyjacking — The Modern Foam Alternative
Polyjacking uses high-density polyurethane foam instead of cement slurry. The foam expands under the slab and lifts it precisely. Advantages: lighter material (won't add weight to weak soil), faster cure time (drive on it in 15 minutes), and works in tight spaces traditional mudjacking can't reach.
We offer both methods. Which one is right for your job depends on the slab, the soil, and your budget. We'll tell you straight up which makes more sense after we look at it.

Concrete Jacking FAQ
How much does concrete jacking cost in Lincoln, NE? +
Most residential concrete jacking jobs in Lincoln run between $500 and $3,000. Single sidewalk panels start around $300. A typical sunken driveway section runs $1,200–$2,500. Pricing depends on the square footage, how far the slab needs to lift, and whether we use traditional mudjacking or polyjacking foam. Compare that to full concrete replacement at $6–$12 per square foot — jacking saves homeowners thousands.
How long does concrete jacking take? +
Most jobs are completed in 2–4 hours. You can walk on the slab within 15 minutes of pumping (polyjacking) or about 30 minutes (mudjacking). You can drive on it the same day in most cases. There is no curing time like new concrete pour.
How long does the repair last? +
A properly done concrete jacking repair lasts 5–10 years on average in Lincoln's soil conditions. Polyjacking foam can last longer because it does not break down. The actual lifespan depends on what caused the original settling — if the underlying issue (water, erosion, poor compaction) is not addressed, the slab can settle again.
What is the difference between mudjacking and polyjacking? +
Mudjacking uses a cement-water-soil slurry pumped under the slab. It has been the standard for 50+ years, affordable, and works well in most conditions. Polyjacking uses high-density polyurethane foam, which is lighter, cures in 15 minutes, and works in tight spots. Mudjacking is usually cheaper per square foot. Polyjacking is better for weak soil or tight access. We do both — call us and we will recommend the right one for your slab.
Will concrete jacking damage my driveway? +
No. We drill small holes — about the size of a quarter — and patch them when we are done. The patches blend in within a few weeks. There is no demolition, no replacement, and no driveway disruption beyond the repair itself.
Do you serve areas outside Lincoln? +
Yes. We regularly work in Waverly, Hickman, Crete, Seward, Beatrice, and across Lancaster, Seward, Saline, and Gage counties. If you are within an hour of Lincoln, call us.
What Lincoln Homeowners Say
"Driveway was sunk a good 2 inches near the garage. They came out, gave me a price under what I expected, and had it lifted back to level in one afternoon. Looks great. Saved me from replacing the whole thing."
"We had a sidewalk panel that had become a real trip hazard at our rental property. Got it leveled the next day for less than I expected. Quick, clean, professional."
"Used polyjacking on our patio that had settled toward the house. Done in two hours, we were sitting on it that night. Great service."
