Concrete Leveling in the Twin Cities
Lift sunken, uneven concrete back to level — without the cost or hassle of full replacement.
Is Your Concrete Sinking or Uneven?
Sunken or uneven concrete is one of the most common problems homeowners face in the Twin Cities. Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles, clay soil expansion, and natural settling all contribute to concrete slabs shifting out of place over time.
The result? Trip hazards on your sidewalk, water pooling on your driveway, gaps under your garage door, and an uneven patio that makes furniture wobble. Left unaddressed, these problems only get worse — and they can affect your home's curb appeal and resale value.
The Solution: Polyurethane Foam Leveling
At Inline Concrete, we use a process called polyurethane foam injection (also known as foam jacking or polyjacking) to lift your sunken concrete back to its original position. Here's how it works:
- We drill small holes — just 3/8" in diameter, smaller than a dime — through the sunken slab.
- High-density polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete through these holes. The foam expands rapidly, filling voids and lifting the slab.
- The concrete rises to level in minutes. We monitor the process carefully to achieve precise leveling.
- Holes are patched and cleaned up. Your concrete is fully usable within about 2 hours.
Why Foam Over Mudjacking?
Mudjacking has been around for decades, and while it works, polyurethane foam injection is a significant upgrade in almost every way:
| Foam Leveling | Mudjacking | |
|---|---|---|
| Hole Size | 3/8" (penny-sized) | 1-2" (much larger) |
| Cure Time | 15 minutes | 24-48 hours |
| Waterproof | Yes | No |
| Weight | ~2 lbs/cu ft | ~100+ lbs/cu ft |
| Longevity | Permanent (no known destruction point) | May need redo in 3-5 years |
| Cost | ~1/3 of replacement | ~1/4 of replacement |
While mudjacking may cost slightly less upfront, foam leveling's durability and waterproof properties make it the better long-term value — especially in Minnesota's harsh climate where freeze-thaw cycles can destroy mudjacking material within a few years.

Common Questions About Concrete Leveling
How much does concrete leveling cost in the Twin Cities?
Concrete leveling with polyurethane foam typically costs about 1/3 of full replacement. Most residential jobs range from a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on the area and severity. We provide free, no-obligation estimates so you know exactly what to expect.
How long does concrete leveling take?
Most residential concrete leveling jobs are completed in 1-2 hours. Your concrete is fully usable within about 2 hours after the work is done — no waiting days or weeks for curing.
Can you level any type of concrete?
We can level most types of concrete surfaces including driveways, sidewalks, patios, garage floors, pool decks, steps, and commercial floors. The main requirement is that the concrete itself is in reasonable condition — not badly cracked or crumbling.
Is foam leveling better than mudjacking?
For most applications, yes. Foam leveling uses smaller holes (3/8" vs 1-2"), cures faster (minutes vs days), is waterproof (immune to freeze-thaw damage), is lighter (less soil stress), and typically lasts longer. The main trade-off is that foam leveling costs slightly more than mudjacking — but significantly less than replacement.
