In growing communities like Plano, homeowners invest heavily in curb appeal. Decorative and stamped concrete walkways are popular because they add character and value to a property. But over time, even well-installed concrete can begin to settle due to soil movement, erosion, or voids forming underneath the slab.
When that happens, it creates more than just an eyesore — it becomes a safety issue.
A homeowner in Plano recently noticed sections of their stamped concrete walkway had dropped unevenly. The surface was no longer flush, and certain joints had developed height differences large enough to create trip hazards.
Like much of North Texas, Plano has expansive clay soil. When moisture levels shift, the ground expands and contracts. Over time, this movement can wash out soil beneath concrete or leave empty pockets below the slab. The result? Sinking, cracking, and uneven concrete.
The homeowner wanted a solution that would:
1 Drill
We drill small, precise holes in the affected concrete slab to access the area underneath.
2 Pump
High-strength polyurethane foam is injected below the slab. The foam expands, fills voids, stabilizes soil, and gently lifts the concrete back into place.
3 Patch
Once the slab is level, we seal the small drill holes neatly — leaving your concrete stable, secure, and ready for immediate use.
Because the holes are small and strategically placed, they are barely noticeable once the work is complete.
In just a few hours, the walkway was restored to a safe, level condition. The decorative surface remained intact. The trip hazards were eliminated. And the homeowner avoided the cost, mess, and downtime of full replacement.
Even better — the concrete was ready to use immediately after completion.
No waiting days for curing.
No heavy demolition equipment.
No disruption to the property.
Plano’s soil conditions play a major role in concrete settlement. Expansive clay soils expand when wet and shrink during dry periods. This constant movement creates instability beneath slabs. Add poor drainage or animal burrows, and voids can form quickly.
That’s why simply patching cracks doesn’t solve the problem. You have to stabilize the ground underneath.
Our polyurethane foam not only lifts the slab — it fills empty spaces and strengthens the supporting soil to help prevent future settlement.
