Is Your Concrete Sinking, Cracking, or Becoming Uneven?
Settled concrete can create safety, drainage, and property concerns.
As soil settles or erodes beneath a slab, concrete can sink and become uneven. Tomlinson Cannon can lift and stabilize many affected surfaces without tearing out and replacing the existing concrete.
You may be noticing:
- Uneven sections of your driveway
- Sidewalk trip hazards
- A sinking front stoop or walkway
- Water pooling against a garage or foundation
- Cracks forming as concrete settles
- Patio slabs becoming uneven
- Gaps between adjoining concrete slabs

What to Expect When You Choose Tomlinson Cannon
Leveling Based on Your Concrete
We evaluate the slab, settlement, surrounding conditions, and desired result before recommending the appropriate leveling method.
Minimal Disruption Around Your Home
Polyurethane foam injection uses approximately ⅝-inch access holes, requires minimal cleanup, and is designed to avoid disruption to surrounding landscaping.
An Alternative to Full Replacement
Concrete leveling can restore many sunken surfaces without demolition and replacement, helping reduce cost, disruption, and unnecessary waste.
Work Backed by a 2-Year Warranty
Tomlinson Cannon backs its concrete leveling service with a two-year workmanship warranty for added peace of mind.
Fast Polyurethane Foam Injection
For polyjacking, small holes are drilled into the slab and polyurethane foam is injected beneath it. The expanding material fills the void and raises the concrete toward the proper level.

Three straightforward steps from sunken concrete to a safer surface.
Show us where the concrete has settled, cracked, or become uneven. We evaluate the affected slabs and surrounding conditions.
We explain the recommended leveling approach and what can reasonably be restored without replacing the slab.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about concrete leveling and sunken slabs.
What causes concrete to sink?
Concrete can settle when soil beneath the slab shifts, erodes, or leaves unsupported voids. Poor drainage and soil settlement can contribute to the problem.
What types of concrete can be leveled?
Tomlinson Cannon levels driveways, sidewalks, patios, garage floors, and other concrete slabs. Whether a specific slab can be restored depends on its condition.
How does polyurethane foam leveling work?
Small holes are drilled through the concrete and polyurethane foam is injected underneath. As the foam expands, it fills the void and raises the slab.
How quickly does the foam cure?
Tomlinson Cannon states that its polyurethane foam cures within approximately 30 minutes, allowing the repair to set quickly.
Is concrete leveling better than replacement?
That depends on the condition of the slab. When the existing concrete is a good candidate for lifting, leveling can be faster and more affordable than tearing it out and replacing it.
Does concrete leveling come with a warranty?
Yes. Tomlinson Cannon provides a two-year workmanship warranty on its concrete leveling service.
