What you should know about concrete patio repair

Concrete Patio Repair For Middle Tennessee Homeowners

A sunken or cracked patio disrupts outdoor entertaining, creates tripping hazards, and directs water toward your foundation instead of away from it. In Middle Tennessee, concrete patios settle for the same reason everything else does, the native red clay soil shrinks during dry summers and swells with winter rains, creating voids beneath slabs that cause sections to sink unevenly over time.

Ground Up Foundation Repair lifts settled patio slabs with expanding polyurethane foam and seals cracks with NexusPro flexible sealant. Because polyurethane foam cures in about 15 minutes, your patio is ready for use the same day the work is completed, no waiting days for poured concrete to cure.

Common Patio Problems We Fix

  • Slabs that have settled away from the house: A gap between the patio and the home's foundation allows water to pool at the foundation wall
  • Low spots that collect standing water: Reversed drainage caused by uneven settlement
  • Cracked or separated expansion joints: Open joints between patio sections that worsen with each freeze-thaw cycle
  • Surface cracking: Shrinkage and movement cracks sealed with NexusPro to stop moisture infiltration
  • Settlement at the steps or landing: Slabs that have tilted creating an uneven transition from house to patio

Patio Repair vs. Replacement

Full patio replacement is expensive, time-consuming, and generates significant concrete debris. If your patio slab is structurally intact, not crumbling, shattered, or severely deteriorated, polyurethane foam lifting and crack sealing is almost always the smarter investment. We assess whether your patio is a good lifting candidate during the free inspection and give you a straight answer before any work begins.

$400–$2,500+ depending on patio size, number of settled sections, and extent of crack sealing required. Typical cost range for this service, depending on scope and site conditions.
When this isn't the fix: Patio lifting is not appropriate when slabs are crumbled, severely spalled throughout, or broken into many small pieces. In those cases, section replacement is the more practical solution.

[ 02 ]  How It Works

What to expect, start to finish

Free Patio Inspection

We walk the patio surface, measure elevation differences between sections, check for voids beneath slabs, and assess crack patterns to design the right repair approach.

Drill Injection Ports

Penny-sized holes are drilled through settled slab sections at strategic locations to allow precise foam injection.

Inject Polyurethane Foam And Lift

Polyurethane foam is injected beneath each settled section, filling voids and gently lifting the slab back to grade. We monitor the lift in real time and stop at the correct elevation.

Seal Cracks And Patch Ports

After lifting, cracks and expansion joints are sealed with NexusPro flexible sealant. Injection ports are patched and the area is cleaned. Your patio is ready for use the same day.

A patio that's settled an inch or two looks terrible and sends water toward the foundation. Polyurethane foam gets it back to where it should be in an afternoon. Homeowners are always surprised the job is done before lunch.

Concrete Patio Repair questions

If the slab itself is structurally sound, not crumbling, shattered, or severely deteriorated, it is almost certainly a better lifting candidate than replacement. We inspect the slab condition during the free evaluation and give you an honest assessment of which approach makes sense for your specific situation.

Polyurethane foam is injected beneath the slab through small holes drilled in the concrete. The foam expands only in the void space beneath the slab and does not migrate laterally into surrounding soil at normal injection pressures. We have never had a landscaping issue from properly conducted patio lifting.

Patio slabs settle away from the home most commonly because water running off the roof or discharging from downspouts washes soil out from beneath the slab edge closest to the house. As that soil erodes, the patio slab loses support at the house-side edge and tips downward, opening a gap. Correcting the downspout discharge alongside the patio lifting prevents recurrence.

Yes. Polyurethane foam cures in about 15 minutes and achieves full strength within a few hours. Light patio furniture can typically be placed back the same day. We will confirm timing based on conditions on the day of the job.

Polyurethane foam does not compress, dissolve, or wash away. Once the void is filled and the slab is lifted, the repair is durable. Addressing the drainage conditions that caused the original settlement, negative grade, downspout placement, or irrigation issues, ensures the patio does not re-settle in the same location.
