Porch and Patio Leveling in Alabama

A porch or patio is where you relax and spend time outdoors, but an uneven concrete surface can turn these spaces into a safety hazard. Sinking, cracking, or sloping concrete is not just unsightly; it can create tripping hazards, drainage problems, and even long-term structural issues.

At SouthernDry, we provide professional porch and patio leveling services that lift and stabilize sunken slabs without the mess, cost, or downtime of a full replacement. We use a high-density polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids, stabilize the soil, and gently lift the slab back to a level position. The process is fast, clean, and provides a lasting fix, restoring both the safety and appearance of your home.

A sinking porch or patio is more than just uneven concrete. It creates safety risks for anyone using the space. Cracks become trip hazards. Sloped surfaces make it harder to walk or move furniture. If water begins pooling near your home, it can even lead to foundation stress.

These issues often start beneath the surface. Soft or eroded soil, poor compaction during the original pour, or years of runoff can shift the ground and leave your slab unsupported. Once that happens, cracks and sinking will only get worse.

Leveling offers a safer, more cost-effective fix than full replacement. Instead of tearing out your porch or patio, we lift the existing concrete back into position. The result is a smooth, stable surface you can use confidently for relaxing, entertaining, or just walking outside without worry.

Patios and porches can sink so gradually that it’s hard to notice at first. Taking a close look at your concrete surfaces can help you spot issues before they become a serious problem.

Look for these key signs:

• Trip Hazards: Any height difference between two concrete slabs, especially a change of a quarter-inch or more.
• Cracks or Gaps: Visible cracks in the concrete or gaps between slabs indicate sinking or settling.
• Sloping or Tilting: A portion of the patio that is leaning to one side, often pointing to soil instability underneath.
• Pooling Water: Low spots that collect water after rain. This water can erode the soil and contribute to foundation problems.

We use precision polyurethane foam injection to lift and stabilize space without demolition:

Leveling your patio or porch is more than just a cosmetic fix; it’s a way to reclaim the safety, functionality, and value of your outdoor space. By lifting sunken slabs and restoring even surfaces, you can eliminate dangerous trip hazards, correct poor drainage that causes water pooling, and avoid the high cost of full slab replacement. Our polyurethane foam solution provides long-term durability by resisting moisture and erosion, ensuring your repair holds up for years to come.

Key benefits include:

• Enhanced safety: Creates a stable walking surface and reduces the risk of falls.
• Improved drainage: Fixes low spots that allow water to collect near your home.
• Cost savings: Far less expensive than replacing concrete entirely.
• Stronger curb appeal: Restores a clean, even look that adds to your home’s value.
• Lasting results: Moisture-resistant foam keeps the slab from shifting again.

Our team uses advanced polyurethane foam injection to lift sunken porches and patios quickly, cleanly, and with minimal disruption.
