Serving Gulfport, MS and surrounding areas. (228) 263-3601
Sunken driveway, tilted patio, or uneven garage floor? We lift settled concrete back to level using methods built for Gulfport's clay soil and wet Gulf Coast conditions.
Foundation raising in Gulfport, MS lifts a sunken concrete slab back to its original level by injecting material through small holes drilled in the surface to fill voids and push the concrete up - most residential jobs take two to eight hours and the area is usable again the same day or the next morning.
Most homeowners reaching out to us have a slab that has dropped gradually - a driveway that has a noticeable dip, a patio section that now holds water, or a garage floor with a visible crack where one side is higher than the other. In Gulfport, the most common reason is the clay-heavy coastal soil underneath. That soil swells when it absorbs water during our heavy rain seasons and shrinks during dry stretches - and that constant movement eventually creates voids under the concrete that the slab drops into.
If you are also dealing with a slab that is cracked beyond repair, we can pair raising work with concrete cutting to remove the damaged section cleanly before any new work begins. Call us to talk through what your slab actually needs.
If you notice a slope or dip in your floor - especially in a slab-on-grade home - that is one of the clearest signs the concrete has shifted. In Gulfport, this often shows up first in garages, covered patios, or the back of the house where drainage tends to pool after heavy rain.
When a slab drops even a small amount, the frame shifts with it - and that shift shows up in doors and windows that no longer open or close correctly. This is especially common in Gulfport homes after a wet season or following a significant storm event.
Look at the joint where your driveway, porch, or patio meets the house. If there is a gap that was not there before - or one that seems to be growing - the slab has likely dropped away from the structure. In Gulfport's clay soil, this separation can happen gradually or quickly after a flooding event.
Gulfport's flat terrain and heavy rainfall mean water often has nowhere to go quickly. If water sits against your foundation or along the edge of a slab for hours after a storm, it is actively eroding the soil underneath - and voids lead to sinking.
We offer both polyurethane foam injection and traditional mudjacking to lift sunken concrete slabs across Gulfport and the surrounding Gulf Coast communities. Foam injection is our most common recommendation for homeowners in this area because it is lighter on soft coastal soil, cures faster, and holds up better when ground moisture continues to be a factor after the job is done. For homeowners with a stable base and a straightforward budget, mudjacking is a reliable option that costs less upfront. We walk every customer through both choices during the estimate visit so the decision is yours, not ours.
If raising is not the right answer for your slab - because the concrete is too cracked or the underlying soil problem is too severe - we will tell you that honestly and explain the case for a full slab foundation replacement instead. Either way, your estimate is free and there is no pressure to commit on the spot.

Gulfport sits on coastal plain soil that is high in clay content, and the city averages around 65 inches of rain per year - nearly double the national average. That combination means the ground under local slabs is almost always wet and frequently shifting. Many homes in established Gulfport neighborhoods like North Gulfport were built in the 1950s through 1980s on thinner slabs with less reinforcement than current standards require. Those older slabs have been moving for decades, and the flood saturation from events like Hurricane Katrina in 2005 accelerated the voids that form under them. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has documented how flood events create sudden and significant slab settlement in low-elevation coastal communities like ours.
We raise slabs across the full Gulf Coast service area, including customers in Long Beach and Biloxi who face the same high water table and clay soil conditions as Gulfport. If your area has experienced flooding in the past few years, the ground under your slab may have voids you cannot see from the surface.
Reach out by phone or through our contact form and we will respond within 1 business day. We come to your property, check the level of the slab, look for cracks or separation, and assess soil conditions at no charge.
After the assessment, you receive a written estimate that outlines the method we recommend, how many injection points we plan to use, and the total cost. We explain why we are recommending one method over another in plain terms.
The crew drills small holes through the slab at planned intervals, inserts a nozzle, and pumps material underneath until the slab rises to the correct level. We check the level as we go - most residential jobs finish in a single day.
We patch the drilled holes so they blend with the surrounding surface, walk you through before-and-after level readings, and tell you exactly when the area is ready for normal use - same day for foam injection, next day for mudjacking.

(228) 263-3601We hold a valid Mississippi State Board of Contractors license for every job we take. You can verify our license number at msboc.us before anyone sets foot on your property - a step that protects you from unlicensed operators who appear after storms.
Gulfport's clay-heavy coastal plain soil swells and shrinks constantly with the area's rainfall cycles. We have raised slabs across all 12 communities we serve and understand how local soil and water table conditions affect which method works best for each job.
We have completed foundation raising projects across Gulfport, Biloxi, Long Beach, and nine other cities along the coast. Local knowledge of drainage patterns and soil conditions is built into every estimate we write.
Polyurethane foam injection cures fast - in most cases you can walk on the raised slab the same day and drive on it within 24 hours. We schedule reliably and give you a firm return-to-use timeline before we leave your property.
The Mississippi State Board of Contractors requires every contractor doing this type of work to hold a current state license - and after major storms, unlicensed operators from out of state often show up offering quick, cheap fixes with no accountability. We are a licensed, locally based business that will still be here after the next storm season.
When a section of slab is too damaged to raise, precision cutting removes it cleanly so new concrete can be poured.
