Slab Foundation Repair in Fort Wayne
Sunken or cracked concrete slabs are common in Fort Wayne homes built on expansive clay soils. We lift and stabilize slabs using proven mudjacking and polyurethane foam injection methods.
What is slab repair?
Slab foundation repair addresses settlement, cracking, and heaving in concrete slabs — the flat concrete pads that serve as the foundation for many Fort Wayne homes built after the 1960s.
When the soil beneath a slab loses moisture and compacts, the slab loses support and begins to sink. When clay soil absorbs water and expands, it can push the slab upward. Both processes crack the concrete and create uneven surfaces that affect everything above them.
The two primary repair methods are mudjacking (pumping a cement-soil slurry beneath the slab to lift it) and polyurethane foam injection (pumping expanding foam beneath the slab for a lighter, faster, and more durable lift). We assess each situation and recommend the method that best fits the scope and soil conditions.
Signs you need slab repair
- Visible cracks in your concrete slab, especially diagonal or step-pattern cracks
- Floors that slope or feel uneven when walking
- Doors or windows that stick or won't close properly
- Gaps between the floor and walls or baseboards
- Visible sinking or settling of a portion of the slab

How much does slab repair cost in Fort Wayne?
Slab repair costs in Fort Wayne typically range from $800 to $3,500 for a residential project, depending on the size of the affected area, the degree of settlement, and the repair method used.
Mudjacking is generally less expensive ($800–$2,000 for a typical residential slab section) but adds weight to the soil. Polyurethane foam injection costs more ($1,500–$3,500) but is lighter, cures faster, and is less likely to wash out over time.
