Mudjacking & Concrete Leveling in Franklin, WI

Much of Franklin was farmland until the 1960s, and many homes sit on subdivision lots where the fill under the concrete is still settling. Raise-Rite lifts sunken driveways, patios, steps and garage floors back into place in a few hours, for far less than replacement.

Common Concrete Problems We Fix in Franklin

Newer homes are not immune to settling. In Franklin we see a lot of settling where builders backfilled around foundations, and a lot of washouts where water runs along a slab edge.

Driveways that dip at the garage

The slab nearest the garage sits over backfill that keeps compacting for years. It drops, leaves a lip and sends water toward the house.

Washouts from sump and downspout water

When discharge runs along a driveway or walk, it carries soil out from under the edge until the slab breaks or tips.

Patios and pool decks out of pitch

Back patios on fill settle toward the house. We lift them back to a slope that drains toward the yard.

Garage floors that crack and sink

Garage slabs often settle along the walls or at the door where fill was not compacted. Lifting levels them and fills the voids.

How Foam Concrete Lifting Works

Most Franklin driveways and patios are done in a few hours, and you can use them the same day.

  1. Drill small holes

    We drill a few small holes through the sunken slab at points chosen to lift it evenly.

  2. Inject high-density foam

    Polyurethane foam expands under the slab, fills the voids and raises the concrete back to level while we watch it rise.

  3. Patch and use the same day

    We patch the holes, clean up and you can usually walk on it right away. Want the details? Read about our process or compare foam vs. mudjacking.

    Why Concrete Sinks in Franklin

    The Root River runs south through the middle of Franklin, and much of the land around it is clay-rich glacial soil, the same type found across southern Milwaukee County. Clay drains slowly and can hold a seasonal water table just a few feet down. When it is wet it softens, and when it dries it shrinks away from the underside of slabs.

    Franklin also has a lot of newer construction. Soil that was dug out and pushed back around foundations takes years to settle, and the driveways, stoops and patios poured over it settle along with it. Add sump pump and downspout water running beside a slab, plus our freeze and thaw winters, and slabs drop and tip.

    Signs it is time to call

    • A trip edge of half an inch or more on a sidewalk or driveway
    • Water pooling against the house or garage after rain
    • Steps or a stoop pulling away from the foundation
    • Gaps under the edge of a slab you can slide a finger into
    • Soil washing out where a sump or downspout line ends near a slab

    Franklin Concrete Leveling FAQ

    My house is fairly new. Why is my driveway already sinking?

    The soil around a new foundation is dug out and backfilled during construction, and it keeps compacting for years. Driveway and stoop slabs poured over that fill settle with it, usually at the garage or the house. Lifting puts solid support back under the slab without replacing it.

    Can you fix a slab near my sump pump outlet?

    Yes. We lift the slab and fill the void the water washed out. Then we will point out where the discharge is going so it does not happen again. The City of Franklin has standards for where sump pump and downspout water can go and when burying a line needs a permit, so check those before you reroute anything.

    Can you lift a pool deck or patio?

    Yes. Pool decks and patios often settle on the side closest to the house or the pool. We lift them back to a pitch that carries water away and fill the voids underneath. Pool decks need careful drilling around the coping, and we plan the holes for that.

    Why does concrete settle in Franklin?

    Clay-rich glacial soil, a seasonal water table close to the surface in spring, settling backfill on newer lots, water from downspouts and sump pumps, and freeze and thaw every winter. Usually it is a combination of a few of those.

    Is foam lifting or mudjacking better for my concrete?

    Both raise concrete by pumping material underneath it. Polyurethane foam is light, needs smaller holes and cures in minutes, so it suits most driveways, walks and garage floors on clay soil. Traditional mudjacking still makes sense on some larger slabs. We look at the slab and the soil and tell you which one we would use and why.

    How long until I can drive on my driveway?

    With foam, usually the same day, often within an hour or two. Mudjacking takes a little longer to set. We tell you exactly when it is ready before we leave.

    Do you serve the area around Franklin?

    Yes. We work throughout southern Milwaukee County, including Oak Creek, Greendale, Hales Corners and Muskego, plus Waukesha, Ozaukee, Washington and Sheboygan Counties.
