Mudjacking & Concrete Leveling in Brookfield, WI
Brookfield has the oldest housing of any city in Waukesha County, with a median home built in the mid 1960s, and a lot of wetland and creek country in between. Raise-Rite lifts settled driveways, patios, steps and walks back into place in a few hours, for far less than replacement.

Common Concrete Problems We Fix in Brookfield
Many Brookfield homes went up in the 1950s and 1960s, so their driveways, patios and steps have had decades to settle. These are the problems we fix most here, and most of them can be lifted instead of replaced.
Driveway approaches and aprons
The city puts repair of a deteriorating driveway approach on the homeowner. When the approach or apron has sunk but is still solid, lifting is often enough.
Patios settling toward the house
Back patios on fill settle toward the foundation and send water at the basement. We lift them back to a pitch that drains.
Front steps tipping away
Stoops sit on fill against the foundation. When it settles, they lean away from the door and leave a gap.
Garage floors with low spots
Garage slabs settle along the walls or at the door. Lifting levels the low sections and fills the voids underneath.
Before & After
Real Raise-Rite jobs from around the area. The slabs stay in place; only the soil underneath gets fixed.

We are a family business in our second generation, and lifting concrete is all we do. On a well kept Brookfield home, the concrete is often still in good shape. It just needs solid support underneath again.

How Foam Concrete Lifting Works
Most Brookfield driveways, patios and steps take a few hours, and you can use them the same day.
Drill small holes
We drill a few small holes through the sunken slab at points chosen to lift it evenly.
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.
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.

Brookfield sits in the clay-heavy eastern part of Waukesha County, where many soils drain poorly. The city has thousands of acres of wetland, the Fox River runs past Mitchell Park, and Underwood Creek and the Wirth Swamp area reach into Wirth Park. Some of the lowest ground in the county is along Menomonee River tributaries in Brookfield. All of that means water close to the surface in wet seasons.
Wet clay loses strength, dry clay shrinks, and freeze and thaw moves it every winter. On older homes, decades of that, plus downspouts and sump hoses that drain beside a slab and settling backfill around the foundation, leave driveways, patios and steps tipped and sunken.

Brookfield Concrete Leveling FAQ
Who is responsible for a sunken driveway approach in Brookfield?
The City of Brookfield says it is the homeowner's responsibility to repair or replace a driveway approach that is deteriorating. If the approach has sunk but is still in one piece, lifting it back into line is often far cheaper than replacing it. Check with the city first if the work is in the right of way.
Where can my sump pump hose drain in Brookfield?
According to the city, in curb and gutter areas the hose cannot discharge directly into the curb line and must drain onto the yard. In ditch areas it can drain to the ditch or elsewhere on the lot at least 10 feet from the lot line. Keep the discharge away from your driveway and walks so it does not wash out the soil underneath.
Why does concrete settle so much in Brookfield?
Clay-rich soil that drains slowly, a lot of wetland and low ground, water from downspouts and sump hoses, settling backfill and freeze and thaw every winter. On older homes, decades of those add up.
Can you lift a patio without damaging the lawn or landscaping?
Yes. Our equipment stays on the truck and we run hoses to the slab, so there are no ruts or torn-up beds. The only marks left are a few small patched holes in the concrete.
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 soon can I use the slab after it is lifted?
With foam, you can usually walk on it right away and drive on it the same day. Mudjacking needs a little longer to set. We tell you exactly when it is ready before we leave.
Do you serve the area around Brookfield?
Yes. We work in Elm Grove, Waukesha, New Berlin, Pewaukee and Wauwatosa, plus the rest of Waukesha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington and Sheboygan Counties.
