Concrete Leveling & Slab Repair in Tulsa, OK
Sunken sidewalks, uneven driveways, and cracked garage floors aren’t just eyesores — they’re tripping hazards, property-value killers, and signs that the soil beneath your concrete has shifted. Here in Tulsa, our expansive clay soils swell when wet and shrink when dry, creating voids under slabs that cause them to settle unevenly over time. The good news? You don’t need to rip out and replace your concrete.
At Level Home Foundation Repair, we use advanced polyurethane foam injection technology to lift and level sunken concrete — quickly, cleanly, and at a fraction of the cost of full replacement. We also handle complete interior slab replacements when the damage goes beyond what leveling can fix. Locally owned and operated since 2016, we’ve been helping Tulsa homeowners and businesses protect their properties with honest, no-pressure service.

Signs You Need Concrete Leveling
Oklahoma’s freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal moisture changes are brutal on concrete. Water seeps into the soil, the clay expands, then contracts as it dries — and your slab pays the price. Here’s what to watch for:
- Tripping hazards on sidewalks or walkways — uneven joints where one slab has dropped below the next
- Sunken or sloping driveway sections — especially near the garage apron or where the driveway meets the street
- Uneven patio or pool deck — furniture wobbles, water pools in low spots instead of draining
- Garage floor sinking away from walls — gaps forming between the slab edge and the foundation wall
- Water pooling against your foundation — settled concrete can redirect drainage toward your home, creating serious drainage problems
- Cracking or crumbling slabs — settlement stress causes cracks that only get worse over time
If you’re seeing any of these issues, the sooner you address them the better. Settled concrete doesn’t fix itself — the voids underneath only grow larger, and the problem gets more expensive to repair.
Our Concrete Leveling Method: Polyurethane Foam Injection
We use polyurethane foam injection — the modern, superior alternative to old-school mudjacking. Our foam services are provided through Structural Foam Systems, and we use multiple formulations designed for different applications and load requirements.
How It Works
The process is straightforward and minimally invasive:
- Small holes are drilled — penny-sized holes (about 5/8″) are drilled through the settled slab in strategic locations
- Expanding foam is injected — high-density polyurethane foam is pumped through the holes, expanding to fill voids beneath the concrete
- The slab lifts to level — as the foam expands, it generates controlled lifting force that raises the slab back to its proper position
- Holes are patched and cleaned up — the small drill holes are sealed, and the surface is ready to use within minutes
The entire process typically takes just a few hours, and because the foam cures in about 15 minutes, you can walk or drive on the repaired concrete almost immediately. Learn more about our polyurethane foam lifting process.
Why Polyurethane Foam Works So Well in Tulsa
Tulsa’s clay-heavy soils need a leveling material that won’t add excessive weight or wash away. Polyurethane foam is:
- Lightweight — weighs only 2–4 lbs per cubic foot versus 100+ lbs for mudjacking slurry, so it won’t further compress already-weak soil
- Waterproof — closed-cell structure doesn’t absorb moisture, so it won’t erode or wash out during Oklahoma’s heavy spring rains
- Dimensionally stable — once cured, it holds its shape permanently without shrinking or settling
- Environmentally inert — won’t leach chemicals into the soil
Interior Slab Replacement
Sometimes a concrete slab is too far gone for leveling — severely cracked, broken into multiple pieces, or damaged to the point where lifting it would only create more problems. When that’s the case, Level Home offers complete interior slab replacements.
Our process includes:
- Removing the old, damaged slab completely
- Evaluating and preparing the sub-base to ensure proper compaction and drainage
- Pouring a new, properly reinforced, level concrete slab
- Ensuring the new slab ties in correctly with the existing foundation structure
This is especially common in older Tulsa homes where the original slab has deteriorated over decades. If you’re unsure whether your slab needs leveling or full replacement, that’s exactly what our free inspection is for — we’ll give you an honest assessment and never push unnecessary work. In fact, our approach to avoiding misdiagnosis is something we take seriously.
Applications: What We Can Level
Our concrete leveling services work on virtually any exterior or interior slab, including:
- Driveways — eliminate trip edges and improve curb appeal
- Sidewalks & walkways — remove liability-creating trip hazards
- Patios — create a level surface for outdoor furniture and entertaining
- Pool decks — fix settled sections that create unsafe, uneven surfaces around your pool
- Garage floors — address sinking slabs pulling away from walls or creating slope toward the house
- Steps & stoops — re-level front and back entry points that have settled
- Warehouse & commercial floors — level large slabs for equipment, racking, and safe operations (learn about our commercial services)
Why Poly Foam Beats Mudjacking
If you’ve been researching concrete leveling, you’ve probably come across mudjacking (also called slabjacking). While mudjacking was the standard for decades, polyurethane foam injection has replaced it as the preferred method for good reason. Here’s how they compare:
| Factor | Polyurethane Foam | Mudjacking |
|---|---|---|
| Material Weight | 2–4 lbs/cu ft | 100+ lbs/cu ft |
| Hole Size | ~5/8″ (penny-sized) | 1–2″ diameter |
| Cure Time | ~15 minutes | 24–72 hours |
| Mess & Cleanup | Minimal — clean process | Significant — wet slurry can spill |
| Water Resistance | Waterproof (closed-cell) | Absorbs water — can wash out |
| Long-Term Stability | Permanent — won’t shrink or erode | Can settle again over time |
| Soil Stress | Low — lightweight won’t compress soil | High — heavy slurry adds load |
In Tulsa’s clay soils, the weight difference is critical. Adding 100+ pounds per cubic foot of mudjacking slurry on top of already-weak, moisture-sensitive soil is counterproductive — it can actually cause more settling. Polyurethane foam fills the void and lifts the slab without adding meaningful weight to the soil beneath it.
Pricing & Financing
One of the biggest advantages of concrete leveling is cost. Leveling a sunken slab typically costs a fraction of what full tear-out and replacement would run — and the results are just as good (often better, since you’re keeping the original, cured concrete).
Every project is different, so we provide free, no-obligation estimates after inspecting your specific situation. We’ll tell you exactly what’s needed and what it costs — no surprises. For more details on what affects pricing, visit our foundation repair cost guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does concrete leveling take?
Most residential concrete leveling jobs are completed in just a few hours. The polyurethane foam cures in approximately 15 minutes, so you can walk or drive on the surface almost immediately after we’re done. Compare that to full concrete replacement, which requires days of curing time before use.
Is poly foam leveling a permanent fix?
Polyurethane foam is a closed-cell material that is waterproof, dimensionally stable, and doesn’t break down over time. Unlike mudjacking slurry that can erode and wash away, cured poly foam holds its shape permanently. That said, if the underlying soil conditions change dramatically (like a major plumbing leak creating new voids), additional work could be needed — which is why we always investigate the root cause of settlement before lifting.
How much does concrete leveling cost compared to replacement?
Concrete leveling with polyurethane foam typically costs 50–75% less than tearing out and replacing the slab. Exact pricing depends on the size of the area, how much lift is needed, and the number of slabs involved. We provide free estimates so you’ll know the exact cost before any work begins. Request your free estimate here.
Can you level concrete in cold weather?
Yes. Polyurethane foam can be installed year-round in Oklahoma. Unlike mudjacking (which uses a water-based slurry that can freeze), poly foam cures through a chemical reaction that isn’t dependent on temperature. We work through Tulsa’s winters without issue.
What if my concrete is cracked — can it still be leveled?
In many cases, yes. Hairline cracks and minor fractures don’t prevent leveling. However, if the slab is severely broken into multiple pieces or heavily deteriorated, a complete interior slab replacement may be the better solution. During your free inspection, we’ll assess the condition of your concrete and give you an honest recommendation — we’ll never push leveling if replacement is truly what’s needed. That’s our commitment to doing right by Tulsa homeowners.
