THE PROBLEM
A homeowner in Prosper contacted PolyFix after noticing several sections of the front walkway had settled, creating uneven slab edges leading to the front steps. The height difference had become a noticeable trip hazard, especially when guests visited or packages were delivered.
The front step had also begun losing support as the surrounding soil shifted, making the entire entrance look uneven.
Like many homes in Prosper, expanding and shrinking clay soils had caused voids to develop beneath the concrete over time. Without proper support, both the walkway and front step continued to settle.
The homeowner wanted a solution that would:
- Remove the trip hazards along the walkway
- Stabilize the front step
- Restore a smooth, safe entrance
- Preserve the existing concrete
- Avoid expensive replacement
OUR 3-STEP CONCRETE LIFTING PROCESS
1 Drill
Small, carefully placed holes were drilled into the affected walkway panels and front step to reach the empty spaces beneath the concrete.
2 Pump
High-density polyurethane foam was injected below the slabs. As the foam expanded, it filled underground voids, strengthened the supporting soil, and precisely lifted the walkway and front step back into alignment.
3 Patch
Once the concrete was properly positioned, the small drill holes were patched neatly, leaving the repair clean and ready for immediate use.
The repair required very little disruption and preserved the existing appearance of the concrete.
THE RESULT
Within only a few hours, the front entrance was restored to a safe and level condition.
The uneven sidewalk panels were aligned, the front step was stabilized, and the dangerous trip hazards were eliminated. The homeowner was able to keep their existing concrete while avoiding the expense and inconvenience of replacement.
Benefits included:
- Trip hazards removed
- Front step fully stabilized
- Safer access to the home
- No demolition required
- Immediate use after completion

WHY WALKWAYS AND STEPS SETTLE IN PROSPER
Concrete settlement is common throughout Prosper because of North Texas’ expansive clay soils. As moisture levels change, the ground naturally expands and contracts, creating movement beneath concrete slabs.
Over time, these soil changes can wash out support or leave empty pockets beneath sidewalks and steps, allowing them to sink independently.
Polyurethane foam lifting restores the missing support beneath the concrete while raising it with precision, helping prevent future settlement.
A SMARTER ALTERNATIVE TO REPLACEMENT
- Costs significantly less than replacement
- Completed in hours instead of days
- Preserves existing sidewalks and steps
