Unevenly sunk driveways
On soft river-area soil, driveways can settle in a twisted or tilted way rather than dropping straight down. Foam can be injected at multiple points to bring each panel back into a more even plane with its neighbors.
Polyfoam Concrete Lifting · Douglas County
Concrete Leveling in Eudora, KS
Eudora sits near where the Wakarusa River meets the Kansas River, and its ground reflects that. Metro Wide lifts settled driveways, walks, patios and garage floors in and around Eudora with polyurethane foam, working through small ports instead of tearing out concrete.

Sunken concrete repair in Eudora.
Eudora is a small town in eastern Douglas County, just off K-10 between Lawrence and De Soto. Its older blocks near Main Street have homes ranging from early 1900s houses to post-war ranches, and newer subdivisions have grown up around town as more families move to the K-10 corridor for easy access to both Lawrence and Johnson County.
We hear from Eudora homeowners about the same concrete problems found across the region, with a local twist: river soils. Driveways that have sunk unevenly, garage floors that have dropped at the door, stoops that have pulled away from the house, and patios with a low corner that holds water after every rain are all common. On newer lots, the panel at the garage and the walk to the front door are usually the first to go.
When the slab is still sound, polyurethane foam can lift it back into position through small ports. The foam is light compared with the soil-and-cement slurry used in mudjacking, so it adds little load to ground that has already proven soft. Residential work is backed by our 2-year warranty.

Local Conditions
Why concrete settles in Eudora.
Eudora's location near the confluence of the Wakarusa and Kansas Rivers means much of the area sits on alluvial soil, layers of silt, sand and clay deposited by floods. These soils can hold water close to the surface and lose strength when saturated. Sandy layers, in particular, can be carried away by moving water, leaving voids under slabs that are hard to see until the concrete drops.
Higher ground around town transitions to clay-rich upland soils that swell and shrink with the seasons. Newer subdivisions built on this ground face the usual issue of fill placed around foundations and under driveways, which continues to consolidate for years after the concrete goes in.
Freeze-thaw cycles each winter open joints and let water reach the soil under the slab. Roof drains discharging next to driveways and yards that pond after storms keep that soil wet. When we review a job, we point out water sources that are likely to undermine the repair, because on soft ground, controlling water is half the fix.
Signs your slab has lost support
- A lip or step-up at a driveway, sidewalk, or garage joint
- A patio or walk that tips toward the house
- Gaps opening between steps, stoops, and the foundation
- Water pooling on a slab or flowing toward the home
- Hollow sounds or visible washout along a slab edge
Common Eudora Projects
The concrete we lift most often in Eudora.
Every slab is different, so we start with what is happening at your property. These are the repairs Eudora property owners ask us about most.
Garage floors dropped at the door
A garage floor that has sunk at the door lets rain and snowmelt run inside. Lifting the low edge and sealing the joint at the apron afterward, as a separate service, helps keep the garage drier.
Stoops on older homes
Stoops on older homes near downtown Eudora have often settled and tipped over the decades. Raising a solid stoop back toward the house closes the gap where water can reach the foundation and evens out the step at the door.
Patios with a low corner
A single low corner on a patio can create a puddle that never seems to dry out. Lifting that corner helps rain run off the slab instead of soaking in at the edge and softening the soil further.
Our Eudora Leveling Process
From your first photo to a supported slab.
-
01
Send photos
Text a wide shot, close-ups of the low joints, a tape measure showing the drop, and the address.
-
02
Review & quote
We look at the settlement, slab condition, and drainage, and follow up with a quote or questions.
-
03
Drill small ports
On the day of the repair we drill small access holes at planned points across the settled slab.
-
04
Lift in stages
Expanding polyurethane fills the voids and raises the concrete gradually while we watch the transitions.
-
05
Patch & clean up
Ports are patched, the area is cleaned, and the surface can usually be used again soon after.

Commercial concrete levelingEntries, walks, warehouses, and loading areas with less downtime. 
Crack & joint sealingSealing joints and cracks to slow water getting under the slab. Why property owners choose polyurethane leveling
- Keeps your existing concrete. No demolition, haul-off, forms, or new pour when the slab is still structurally usable.
- Small, discreet ports. Polyurethane needs much smaller holes than traditional mudjacking.
- Lightweight material. The foam adds support without loading weak soil with heavy slurry.
- Back in use quickly. Polyurethane cures fast, so many surfaces return to use far sooner than new concrete.

Eudora Concrete Leveling FAQ
Questions from Eudora property owners.
What does it mean when soil washes out from under a slab?
Water moving along the edge of a slab or through a crack can carry fine silt and sand with it. Over time, that leaves an empty space under the concrete, and the slab eventually sags or cracks into it. Sandy river soils like those around Eudora are especially prone to this. Foam fills those voids, and controlling the water source helps prevent new ones from forming.
How do I know if my slab can be lifted or should be replaced?
Slabs that have dropped or tilted but are still in one piece or a few large pieces are usually good candidates for lifting. Concrete that is crumbling, heavily scaled, or broken into many small sections usually is not. Send photos of the whole slab and close-ups of the damage, and we will give you a straight answer either way, even if that answer is replacement.
Do you come out to Eudora from Kansas City?
Yes. Eudora is within our service area along the K-10 corridor. Scheduling depends on your location and the scope of the work. Texting photos and your address first lets us quote the job remotely and plan the visit efficiently. If anything in the photos needs a closer look, we will let you know before scheduling.
Will concrete leveling get rid of the cracks?
No. Lifting changes the position and support of the slab, but existing cracks stay visible. Raising the sections on either side can bring a crack back into alignment, and crack and joint sealing is available as a separate step to help keep water out.
Is polyurethane foam better than mudjacking?
Both methods lift concrete by filling the space underneath it. Polyurethane uses smaller holes, weighs far less than a cement slurry, cures quickly, and resists washing out. See our polyurethane vs. mudjacking comparison for a full breakdown.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Residential concrete lifting from Metro Wide is backed by a 2-year warranty. We will explain what is covered for your project when we provide the quote.
