Concrete Leveling in Indiana: What It Is and How It Works

What Is Concrete Leveling and How Does It Work?

If you’ve noticed uneven concrete around your home — maybe your sidewalk has settled or your driveway has developed a dip — you’re not alone. Indiana’s freeze-thaw cycles and shifting soil can cause concrete slabs to sink or crack over time. Fortunately, replacing the entire slab isn’t your only option.

At Indiana Spray Foam, we offer concrete leveling using high-density polyurethane foam. It’s a fast, clean and long-lasting way to restore your surfaces and avoid the cost and hassle of replacement.

Here’s a look at what concrete leveling is, how it works and why it’s a smart investment for your home.

What Is Concrete Leveling?

Concrete leveling is the process of lifting and stabilizing sunken or uneven concrete slabs. This method works on a variety of surfaces, including:

  • Driveways
  • Sidewalks
  • Patios
  • Garage floors
  • Pool decks

When concrete settles, it creates low spots and trip hazards that not only look bad but can also cause water to pool and damage nearby structures. Our concrete leveling service raises the slab back to its original position — helping you avoid costly repairs or full replacements.

How the Concrete Leveling Process Works

At Indiana Spray Foam, we use a technique called polyjacking, which involves injecting expanding foam beneath the concrete. The process is quick and noninvasive:

  1. Assessment – We start with a full inspection to identify the problem areas and what’s causing them to sink.
  2. Drilling – Small holes, about the size of a dime, are drilled into the affected slab.
  3. Injection – We inject high-density polyurethane foam beneath the concrete. As the foam expands, it fills the voids and gently lifts the slab.
  4. Leveling – We monitor the lift carefully to ensure the slab is raised evenly and accurately.
  5. Finishing – Once the slab is back in place, we patch the small injection holes and clean the area.

Most jobs take just a few hours, and your surface is typically ready to use the same day.

Why Homeowners Choose Foam Concrete Leveling

We’ve helped homeowners across Indiana fix everything from cracked walkways to uneven patios. Foam leveling is our go-to solution for several reasons:

  • Quick results – The foam cures in about 15 minutes, and there’s no need to wait days to use your driveway or patio.
  • Minimal disruption – The small drill holes mean we won’t tear up your yard or landscaping.
  • Durable and long-lasting – The foam resists moisture and won’t break down or wash away like other materials.
  • Lightweight material – It won’t add pressure to the soil beneath your slab, which reduces the chance of future settling.
  • Cost-effective – Foam leveling is often more affordable than pouring new concrete, especially when you consider the labor and downtime involved in replacement.

By restoring your concrete instead of replacing it, you save money and preserve the look of your property.

Signs You May Need Concrete Leveling

Not sure if your concrete needs leveling? Here are a few signs to watch for:

  • Cracks forming in driveways or sidewalks
  • Uneven steps or noticeable trip hazards
  • Pooling water after rain
  • Tilting or sloped patio sections
  • Garage floors that feel unsteady or off balance

Catching these issues early can help prevent bigger problems down the road, including structural damage or foundation issues.
