Why Concrete Leveling and Lifting Matters for Your Middle Georgia Property
If you’ve noticed concrete slabs around your home that are uneven, cracked, or sinking, you’re not alone. Here in Middle Georgia, the unique challenges posed by our soil conditions and fluctuating weather patterns frequently lead to concrete settlement. The constant expansion and contraction of our expansive clay soil as it gets wet and then dries out can cause driveways, sidewalks, patios, and pool decks to shift and sink unevenly over time.
This kind of concrete damage isn’t just an eyesore that detracts from your property’s curb appeal; it creates real problems. Sunken or uneven concrete sections are significant tripping hazards for your family and visitors, potentially leading to accidents. They also cause water to pool instead of draining correctly, which can worsen the soil problems underneath and potentially lead to further damage, including foundation issues if the water collects too close to your house. Addressing these issues promptly is crucial for maintaining both the safety and value of your property.
At Stapleton Foundation Systems, we specialize in providing advanced, non-disruptive solutions for lifting and leveling these sunken concrete surfaces. Our proven techniques can effectively restore your concrete to its proper position and appearance, eliminating safety risks and significantly extending the lifespan of your existing concrete slabs, all without the mess, expense, and downtime associated with tearing out and replacing old concrete.


Signs That Your Concrete Needs Attention
Walk around your property and look for these clear indicators that your concrete slabs may be settling or damaged:
Visible Cracks in Concrete Slabs
Any noticeable fractures, whether hairline or wider, often suggest that the underlying soil is no longer providing even support due to erosion, settlement, or soil movement.
Uneven or Unlevel Sidewalks and Walkways
Sections of sidewalk that are misaligned, raised, or sunken compared to adjacent slabs are definite tripping hazards and potential liability concerns.
Patios or Pool Decks Pulling Away:
Gaps or separation between your patio or pool deck slabs and the adjacent structure (like your house or a retaining wall) often indicate underlying settlement and can signal potential drainage problems directing water into unwanted areas.
Sunken Driveway or Garage Floor Sections
Areas of your driveway or garage floor that have settled below the surrounding concrete or pavement can make parking difficult and noticeably reduce your property’s aesthetic appeal and value.
Water Pooling on Concrete Surfaces
If you see standing water remaining on your concrete long after it rains, it’s a strong sign that the slab has sunken and is no longer allowing for proper water runoff.
DON’T IGNORE THE SIGNS
If you’re noticing even one or two of these indicators, it’s a strong signal that it’s time to get a professional inspection. Catching these issues early is genuinely the best way to prevent them from escalating into much larger, more complex, and more expensive repairs down the road.
What Causes Concrete Slabs to Settle in Georgia?
Our region’s prevalence of expansive clay soil is a major factor. This soil type dramatically expands when it absorbs moisture and shrinks significantly when it dries out. This constant cycle of swelling and contraction creates instability and voids underneath rigid concrete slabs. When the soil shrinks or erodes away, the concrete loses its essential support, leading to cracking and sinking.
Other Common Causes of Foundation Issues
- Poor Drainage: Inadequate grading or drainage systems around concrete surfaces allow water to collect and saturate the soil unevenly, exacerbating the expansion/contraction cycle and leading to erosion beneath the slab.
- Soil Washout: Water flowing under a slab from downspouts, leaking pipes, or poor grading can erode the soil base, creating voids that cause the concrete to collapse.
- Improper Compaction: If the soil beneath the concrete wasn’t properly compacted during installation, it can settle over time, leaving spaces for the concrete to sink into.
The natural aging process or original construction flaws in older foundations.

Other factors contributing to this settlement include
- Poor or inadequate drainage systems around your home’s perimeter.
- Improper grading of the ground, directing water toward the foundation instead of away.
- Extended drought conditions that cause severe soil shrinkage.
- Inadequate soil compaction before construction, or poorly designed footings.
- The natural aging process or original construction flaws in older foundations.

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS
Getting your concrete concerns addressed with Stapleton
Foundation Systems is straightforward:
Ask The Experts!
Q: Why is my driveway or sidewalk sinking?
It usually comes down to the soil. When our red clay gets wet, it swells. When it dries, it shrinks. That movement creates gaps under the slab, and the concrete sinks without support.
Q: What's the benefit of leveling instead of replacing?
Leveling saves time and money. We lift and stabilize your existing concrete without demolition, and you can use the surface again the same day in most cases.
Q: Will this fix the cracks too?
We level the concrete first, then seal the cracks. This prevents water from seeping below the slab again and helps avoid future damage.
Q: How long does this take, and when can I walk or drive on it?
Most jobs are completed in a single day. With polyurethane foam, the concrete is ready for use within minutes of completion.
Q: Is concrete leveling a permanent solution?
Yes, when done right. We fill voids, seal joints, and address the cause of the problem so the concrete stays put. Most repairs last for decades with little to no maintenance.
