If your concrete has settled little by little or all of a sudden, our lifting process and expertise can help you level it back to it's original state. Leaving it look like it never moved at all. Every project is handled by folks who live in Pocatello.
The original slab raising method, refined over decades. We create a cement mixture that fills the gap below your slab and it lifts your concrete back to level. Strong, dependable, and best for extremely heavy loads.

Learn More →An uneven sidewalk is a personal and business hazard, creating liability concerns. We level hazardous concrete and make it flush again within a few hours. No digging or yellow tape needed.

Learn More →When concrete tilts or drops, the instinct is to blame the concrete or the person who poured it. The more likely answer is the soil underneath. A few conditions explain why concrete in our area of Idaho tends to shift and settle:
Freeze and thaw cycles. Water creeps beneath a slab, and then freezes in winter. This cycle repeats itself slowly pushing the soil downward. Spring brings in the thaw, the soil contracts, and gap grows and so the cement settles. Repeat this pattern across a few years and even well-poured concrete will become uneven.
Irrigation runoff and quick snowmelt. Watering your lawn all summer and repeated spring melt push more water through our soils than the subgrade was built to drain. Fine dirt wash out from under the concrete and the compacted base loses its original height.
Loose fill and old trenches. Many Pocatello lots were graded with fill before any pouring happened, and most yards have water, sewer, gas, or power lines that have been buried and reburied over the years. Both situations can cause issues that create uneven cement. Creating droopy driveway aprons and sidewalks along areas that need to be leveled.
Mature tree roots. Cottonwoods, maples, and ash near older streets push concrete upward as they grow and leave hollow spots once a tree comes down. Both produces an uneven surface.
In nearly every case, the slab is still sound. Lifting or leveling fixes the actual problem by filling the empty space below and restoring proper support.
Settlement in driveways occurs over time, therefore; many homeowners do not recognize it as an issue until there is a significant gap. Some of the signs of settlement include:
All of these items should be evaluated. Once concrete has settled, it will rarely fix itself and if left uncorrected, large voids will require additional materials to repair.
These two methods handle nearly every lifting need locally. The process for both starts with drilling small holes through the concrete and then we pump material underneath. The difference is what gets pumped:
Also called slabjacking or concrete raising, mudjacking pumps a dense cement mixture underneath your slab. Pressure builds from placing our slurry under the cement, making the cement panel rise. The method dates to the early 1900s and remains the most budget-friendly route. The mix does take a few hours to cure before heavy loads can be placed on it, and requires larger holes to be drilled.
Learn About Mudjacking →Polyjacking injects a two-part polyurethane foam that expands and hardens under the concrete slab. It expands into all pockets, and raises the concrete. It takes around 15 to 30 minutes to cure. It requires smaller holes than mudjacking, and the cured foam adds almost no weight. It costs a little more than mudjacking, but is worth it for longevity, heavy loads, and fast turnaround.

Price is the first thing most homeowners ask. The honest answer depends on the area's size, how far the slab dropped, and how easily we can reach it. Realistic ranges for projects we see most often: Pricing is an important factor, and we like to be as upfront as possible so you know what to expect. There are quite a few factors including the size of the job (area), how far the slab has dropped and if the damaged area is easy to access. We've outlined some general prices of what we commonly work with:
| Project Type | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|
| Single sidewalk panel (4x4 or 4x6 ft) | $250 to $650 |
| 3 to 5 sidewalk panels | $350 to $850 |
| Driveway apron or 1 to 2 panels near garage | $400 to $800 |
| Full driveway (multiple slabs) | $700 to $2,500+ |
| Patio leveling | $400 to $1,200 |
| Sport court leveling (tennis, pickleball, basketball) | $700 to $2,000+ |
| Pad leveling (AC unit, hot tub, shed) | $200 to $500 |
For context, fresh concrete in Pocatello generally runs $6 to $12 per square foot once you fold in demolition, hauling, forming, and a new pour. A 200 square foot concrete driveway section we could lift instead for $400 to $800 could easily run much higher to tear out and repour. The same lifting approach works well for sport court owners fixing low spots on a tennis, pickleball, or basketball pad without ripping it out. For a brand new sport court build, talk to a dedicated court builder.
Not every slab is worth lifting. As part of our free estimate, we give you a "yes" or "no" on whether to lift your slab. The quick decision framework is:
We'll let you know if a fresh pour is right for you, and when replacement turns out to be the better call we can point you toward a trusted concrete contractor. Homeowners who are considering this area often consider asphalt paving as a possible alternative surface material.
A fast, clean and a very environmentally friendly repair solution. This would A typical job:
Measurements are taken on the slab; we identify the cause of the settlement and provide you with an estimate. No pressure to book – nothing to lose.
We drill a few small access holes into the panel. We choose the placement to give us the right amount of control as we raise the slab.
We pump material under the slab. When all voids have been filled and the pressure has built up inside the slab it begins to rise smoothly back to grade.
Patch access holes, clean-up site, and put the concrete back into use. Most jobs allow foot traffic that same day.

“I could see a portion of my patio sinking into the ground a little bit after all the rain that we had in this past few seasons and I could see where the area would collect puddles with every storm. I called up Quality Pocatello Concrete Leveling, and after they did the leveling and repairs on the patio, we immediately noticed a big difference! Now when there is a storm, the water will drain off the patio as normal and when you walk over it, it has a very solid feeling under your feet. They treated my landscaping with respect and they left everything clean when they finished. It’s great to be able to sit outside again and actually enjoy it without having to stare at the uneven concrete.”
