Uneven concrete surfaces pose risks to your family and guests while detracting from your home’s appearance. Anchored Walls employs proven methods to stabilize and level your concrete with minimal disruption. Our team evaluates the extent of the sinking or cracking and uses precise techniques to lift and secure slabs—preventing further damage and improving your property’s overall safety and value.
Cause #1: Poor Compaction
The area around your home's foundation often contains loose soil and fill from construction. Iowa homes with basements require over-excavation for foundation walls. After pouring, this area is backfilled, but the loose fill tends to settle over time. Consequently, concrete structures in this “compaction zone” sink as the underlying soil settles.
Cause #2: Water
Water compacts soil, and poor drainage combined with rain and snowmelt evacuates air pockets beneath your concrete. As moisture dries, voids form, causing the soil to collapse and take the concrete with it, resulting in settling, sinking, and cracking. Flooding from leaks can also lead to these problems. However, our water-resistant poly foam can improve underlying water issues that caused the damage.
Cause #3: Inadequate Drainage
Constant water under concrete can lead to failure. Many homeowners overlook grading, allowing water to flow toward their foundation. When you notice inadequate drainage, it’s crucial to address it. Leaky gutters, downspouts, and excessive watering near concrete can cause the soil and concrete to sink. Correcting drainage along with leveling your concrete with Anchored Walls is essential.
Uneven concrete isn’t just unsightly—it’s a safety hazard. Anchored Walls offers proven concrete leveling methods that restore your surfaces quickly and affordably, with minimal disruption. Backed by over 40 years of trusted service, we provide solutions built to last.

Many factors contribute to the settling that shows up as cracks and damaged surfaces in need of concrete repair. Iowa winters can be harsh on concrete. Settling can occur if the ground was not properly compacted when the concrete slab was poured, whether for your foundation, patio, driveway, or sidewalk. Freeze-thaw cycles, wet weather, and dry seasons can also cause soil expansion, erosion, and settling. Whatever the cause, the faster the issue is addressed, the more potential damage can be mitigated. Letting the problem go without being addressed will only cause more extensive issues.
Anchored Walls has several solutions for concrete repair in Iowa, and the solution that’s right for your property will depend on the specific circumstances. Our team offers those in Iowa concrete leveling and lifting services that are unmatched by our competitors. We utilize a method where small holes are drilled into the concrete, and an expanding polyurethane foam is injected, raising the concrete to restore it to its proper position. The foam quickly expands and hardens and supports the failing concrete for long-term results. The holes are then filled and patched with a concrete layer. If the damage is more significant, we can professionally remove the broken concrete and install an entirely new surface.

Read lessFoam stands out for concrete leveling because it’s clean, fast, and durable. Unlike legacy methods that require large holes or create messy slurry, foam uses small injection points, expands to fill voids evenly, and becomes waterproof in minutes. It's also lightweight—meaning it won’t collapse the repaired area—and cures fast enough for immediate use. That’s why professionals prefer foam for fast, reliable leveling with minimal disruption.
For most homeowners, yes. Leveling is typically faster, less invasive, and significantly more affordable than tearing out and repouring concrete. It also avoids the mess, downtime, and disruption that come with full replacement.
Most settling is caused by changes in the soil beneath the slab. Water erosion, poor compaction during construction, freeze-thaw cycles, or underground voids can all create pockets where the concrete loses support. Over time, gravity takes over and the slab sinks or shifts.
Polyurethane is tough. It’s solid, water-resistant, and won't be damaged by chemicals, bugs, or rodents. As long as the surrounding soil holds up, the repair will too—indefinitely.
Yes! The material is non-toxic and environmentally safe. Once it cures, it's inert (like a sealed balloon) and doesn’t leach into the ground.
Costs depend on how much material is needed. It’s usually half the cost (or less) of full concrete replacement. We use our own advanced estimating software to provide accurate quotes.
That depends on the method. Polyurethane foam cures within minutes, allowing use the same day—often within an hour. Slurry-based lifting methods may require a longer cure time, but are still far quicker than replacing the slab.
Most concrete leveling jobs can be completed in just a few hours. The size of the slab, the extent of the sinking, and the repair method all affect timing, but it’s typically much faster and less disruptive than full concrete replacement.
Concrete leveling restores sunken or uneven slabs by injecting material beneath the surface to raise it back into place. Small holes are drilled into the concrete, and a lifting compound, such as foam or slurry, is pumped underneath. The slab is gently raised, leveled, and the holes are patched cleanly once the work is complete.
