Concrete leveling in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Sunken concrete is common across Metro Detroit. Clay soils shrink and swell, water washes fill out from under slabs, and backfill beside foundations settles over the years. The result is trip hazards on sidewalks, driveways that slope toward the garage, and patios that pitch water back at the house.
Concrete leveling lifts the existing slab instead of replacing it. Small holes are drilled and material is pumped underneath: a cement-based slurry (mudjacking) or expanding polyurethane foam. It works best on slabs that are sunken but still in large, sound pieces. For settling under the house itself, see slab jacking by foundation pros.
What a proper job includes
- Inspection to confirm the slab is sound enough to lift
- Check of drainage and downspouts that caused the settling
- Drilling of injection holes in a planned pattern
- Controlled lifting with slurry or polyurethane foam
- Holes patched and finished close to the slab color
- Sealing of joints and cracks where slabs meet
- Cleanup and a note of any sections that should be replaced
What drives the price
- Number and size of slabs to lift
- How far the slabs have sunk and how much void is underneath
- Material: mudjacking slurry or polyurethane foam
- Access for equipment to the back yard or tight areas
- Joint sealing and crack repair added to the job
- Drainage fixes needed to stop future settling

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Lifting concrete on private property generally does not need a building permit, but a public sidewalk or approach sits in the right-of-way controlled by the city, which may require a permit for work there. In Detroit, right-of-way permits come from the DPW City Engineering Division. Confirm with your city before work on public concrete.
Paid residential work above a threshold set by state law requires a LARA license. Look for a Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license that lists Concrete, or a Residential Builder license, and check the number on the LARA lookup.

How to compare quotes
- Ask whether each slab is a good candidate for lifting or should be replaced.
- Compare material (slurry or foam), hole size and how holes are patched.
- Ask what the crew will do about the drainage that caused the settling.
- Check the license on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.
- Get warranty terms on re-settling in writing.
