What causes the sinking of a concrete slab in a residential property?
Sunken or un-level slabs and hardstand surfaces in houses can be a sign of foundation ground subsidence.
There are many different causes of subsidence and various contributing factors.
All involve some change in the ground, which, in turn, generates movement of the soil.
As well, different types of ground are more affected by different conditions.
When ground has been affected, building subsidence is common. Foundations or footings are no longer fully supported, sinking due to weak ground.

Slab Lifting FAQs
What is concrete slab lifting?
Concrete slab lifting is a solution used to raise and re-level sunken or uneven concrete surfaces. Over time, concrete slabs—such as sidewalks, driveways, patios, or foundations—may settle or sink due to soil erosion, poor compaction, or shifting ground conditions. Slab lifting restores the surface to its original level without the need for complete replacement.
How much does it cost to lift a concrete slab?
The cost of lifting a concrete slab depends on several factors, such as the method used, the size and condition of the slab, the extent of settlement, and your location.
Slab lifting is generally 50%–80% cheaper than replacing a concrete slab.
Is concrete slab lifting worth it?
Whether concrete slab lifting is worth it depends on your specific situation. Here are some key factors to consider to help you decide if it’s the right solution for you:
Minor to Moderate Sinking: If your slab has settled less than 8 inches and is still structurally sound, lifting is a practical and economical solution.
Good Slab Condition: Slab lifting works best when the concrete itself is in good condition (no major cracks or severe damage).
Underlying Soil Issues Are Manageable: If the settlement was caused by compacted or eroded soil, lifting can address the issue, especially with ground improvement solutions.
Cost-Conscious Repairs: If you need a fast and cost-effective solution, slab lifting is a good alternative to full replacement.
Why is my concrete slab raising?
If your concrete slab is raising, it’s usually caused by changes in the underlying soil or environmental conditions. Here are the most common reasons for concrete slab lifting:
- Soil expansion (heave)
- Frost heave
- Tree roots
- Poor soil preparation
- Underground obstructions or pressure
- Insect or animal activity
- Earth movement or settlement
Advantages of concrete slab lifting

Fast: Repairs can often be completed within a few hours.
Environmentally friendly: Reduces waste by re-.using the existing slab.
Immediately trafficable: Drive over the treated areas immediately.
Minimal disruption: Avoids the mess and downtime of demolition and new installation.
