Restore Sunken and Damaged Concrete in Olympia
Uneven driveways, cracked sidewalks, and sinking patios can make your property unsafe and allow water to affect the soil below. TerraFirma provides Concrete Repair in Olympia, WA to lift settled slabs, seal cracks and joints, and create safer, smoother concrete surfaces.
Uneven Concrete Can Become a Safety Concern
Sunken sections can create raised edges around sidewalks, driveways, patios, steps, and entryways.
Concrete Cracks Can Allow Damage to Continue
Water can enter open cracks and joints, reach the supporting soil, and contribute to additional concrete settlement.
Concrete Problems Around Your Home
Is Damaged Concrete Making Your Property Unsafe?
Concrete settlement does not always happen evenly. One part of a driveway, sidewalk, or patio may remain in place while another section sinks. This difference can create an uncomfortable walking surface, affect drainage, and make the damage more noticeable.
Consider an evaluation for Concrete Repair in Olympia, WA if you notice any of these warning signs:
- Sunken or uneven sections of a concrete driveway
- Sidewalk slabs creating raised tripping hazards
- Concrete cracks that continue to widen
- Water collecting on patios or walkways
- Concrete steps separating from nearby slabs
- Open joints between concrete sections
Why Concrete Moves
What Causes Concrete to Sink and Crack in Olympia?
Olympia’s frequent rainfall can affect the soil beneath concrete. Water may soften loose soil, contribute to erosion, or leave unsupported spaces under the slab. When the ground can no longer provide even support, the weight of the concrete can cause it to settle.
01
Weak Soil
Loose or poorly compacted soil may compress under the weight of the concrete and leave part of the slab unsupported.
02
Water and Erosion
Water moving beneath the concrete can carry away supporting soil and cause the slab to settle unevenly.
03
Changing Conditions
Moisture and temperature changes can place stress on concrete, especially when cracks and joints remain open.
04
Heavy Use
Vehicles, equipment, and repeated traffic can place more pressure on slabs that already have weak support underneath.
Repair Without Full Replacement
Concrete Repair Solutions for Olympia Homes
TerraFirma combines lifting, crack sealing, and surface protection solutions to address damaged concrete. The recommended repair depends on the position of the slab, the condition of the surface, and the openings allowing water to reach the soil underneath.
Lift Settled Slabs
PolyLevel® Concrete Lifting
Lightweight polyurethane foam is injected through small openings in the slab. It fills spaces beneath the concrete and carefully lifts settled sections. Learn more about TerraFirma’s concrete repair solutions.
Seal Cracks and Joints
NexusPro® Concrete Sealant
NexusPro® creates a flexible seal across concrete cracks and joints. This helps reduce the amount of water that can reach and disturb the supporting soil beneath the slab.
Protect the Surface
SealantPro® Concrete Protection
SealantPro® penetrates the concrete surface to help protect it against moisture and deterioration while preserving its natural appearance.

How TerraFirma Restores Sunken Concrete
Watch how TerraFirma lifts settled concrete using a process designed to be less disruptive than removing and replacing the entire slab.
Small injection points provide access beneath the concrete. The lifting material fills underground spaces and raises the slab toward a safer and more even position.

Lift Sunken Concrete Without Replacing the Slab
PolyLevel® fills empty spaces beneath settled concrete and helps lift the slab toward a safer position. This process can be used on driveways, sidewalks, patios, steps, and other concrete surfaces.
Close Openings That Allow Water Below the Concrete
NexusPro® seals concrete cracks and joints with a flexible, weather-resistant material. Sealing these openings helps reduce water intrusion and protects the soil supporting the slab.
Raised Edges Can Create Tripping Hazards
When one slab sinks lower than the concrete beside it, the raised edge can create an unsafe walking surface. Professional concrete lifting can help restore a smoother transition between sections.
Concrete Settlement Can Worsen Over Time
A sunken driveway may collect water, create uneven transitions, and place stress on nearby concrete. Addressing the settlement early can help prevent the affected area from becoming more difficult to use.

HOMEOWNER QUESTIONS
How does the warranty work?
For concrete slabs raised with TerraFirma’s PolyLevel®, we guarantee that the area where the slab of concrete was lifted will not settle more than ¼ inch for a period of 5 years from the date of installation. If it does, we will provide the labor and materials to re-level the area at no additional charge.
What is better: mudjacking or polyurethane?
A Polyurethane solution is not as messy or disruptive as other foundation-lifting techniques like mudjacking. Our PolyLevel solution is lightweight (without compromising strength), offers faster installation and cure time, making it the best option available.
What kind of foam is used to lift concrete?
High-density polyurethane foam is the expert’s choice for concrete lift. Our PolyLevel solution uses a high-density polyurethane foam to fill voids and stabilize sinking concrete slabs. The expanding properties of the two-part urethane formula allows for the lifting of the slab.
Can you repair cracked concrete after going through concrete leveling?
Yes. In fact, we recommend that our TerraFirma Concrete Leveling customers seal the cracks and joints of their newly lifted concrete with our NexusPro solution, as it will help protect their concrete for many years to come.
My concrete seems to have settled over the winter. What should I do?
Your concrete most likely didn’t settle, but instead the adjacent concrete slabs heaved upwards, due to the frozen dirt below. There is nothing that can be done, but wait for the ground to thaw and the concrete to return to its original position. If the concrete doesn’t return to its normal position in the spring, you may want to have one of our experts take a look to determine if a permanent solution is necessary.
