Garage aprons on newer homes
Aprons poured over foundation backfill often drop at the garage door. Lifting the apron removes the bump and helps keep water and snowmelt out of the garage. It is one of the most common jobs we see in Lansing.
Polyfoam Concrete Lifting · Leavenworth County
Concrete Leveling in Lansing, KS
Lansing sits just south of Leavenworth along K-7, with many of its homes built in neighborhoods developed over the past few decades. Metro Wide lifts settled driveways, patios, walks, and garage floors with polyurethane foam injected through small ports.

Sunken concrete repair in Lansing.
Lansing has grown steadily as a residential community, and much of its housing is in subdivisions built on rolling ground east and west of K-7. Those homes tend to have wide driveways, attached garages, back patios, and front walks leading to covered stoops. There are also older homes near the original part of town and rural properties on acreage around the city. Many families here have ties to Fort Leavenworth or commute to jobs across the metro.
The most common call we get from Lansing is about a driveway panel that has dropped at the garage or a patio that now tips toward the house. Sometimes it is a front walk with a lip at the stoop. Polyurethane foam leveling lifts those slabs in place by injecting foam into the voids beneath them. There is no demolition or haul-off, and the patches are small. When a slab is too broken to lift, we will tell you plainly. Each of these projects typically involves just a few panels, not the whole slab. Ports are patched afterward.

Local Conditions
Why concrete settles in Lansing.
Leavenworth County soils include loess and clay, both of which react to moisture. Clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and loess can compact or erode when water flows through it. The rolling terrain around Lansing means runoff is always moving downhill, often along driveways or under patios on its way to nearby creeks. Rain that would soak in evenly on flat ground tends to concentrate along slab edges on a slope.
The biggest factor in Lansing is usually how newer lots were built. Subdivisions are graded by cutting high ground and filling low spots, and the soil around each foundation is backfilled after the walls go in. That fill keeps compacting for years, and slabs poured over it settle as it does. Garage aprons, front walks at the stoop, and patios against the back wall are the usual trouble spots. Freeze–thaw cycles and downspouts draining onto slab edges speed the process. We point out drainage fixes when we see them in your photos. Extending a downspout is often the simplest 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 Lansing Projects
The concrete we lift most often in Lansing.
Every slab is different, so we start with what is happening at your property. These are the repairs Lansing property owners ask us about most.
Back patios
Patios that tip toward the house send rain to the foundation. Raising the low edge restores slope away from the home where the slab and yard grades allow. Cracked sections may need replacement. The patio stays in place.
Walks at covered stoops
Front walks often settle where they meet the stoop, leaving a step that catches toes. Lifting the walk smooths the transition and closes gaps where water gets under the stoop. The original concrete stays in place.
Sidewalks along the street
Sidewalk panels in front of homes can heave and settle unevenly. Lifting low sections reduces trip hazards for neighbors walking by. If the sidewalk is public right-of-way, check with the city about responsibility first. Ports are small and patched afterward.

- Water-resistant fill. Cured foam does not wash out the way loose soil and some slurries can.
- 2-year residential warranty. Residential lifting is backed by Metro Wide’s 2-year warranty.
- 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.

Lansing Concrete Leveling FAQ
Questions from Lansing property owners.
Why is concrete settling in my Lansing subdivision when the house is newer?
Newer homes are often built on graded fill and backfill, which keep compacting for years after concrete is poured. The garage apron, front walk, and patio are the most common spots. The concrete itself is usually fine. If it is intact, foam lifting can fill the voids beneath it and raise it back toward its original position.
Will my HOA let me do concrete leveling?
Leveling keeps your existing concrete in place, so the finished surface looks much the same apart from small patched ports. Most associations care about safety and appearance, and leveling usually addresses both. If your HOA requires approval for exterior work, we can provide a written scope to submit. It also avoids the disruption of replacement.
How do I get a quote for my Lansing home?
Text a wide photo of the full slab, close-ups of each low joint with a tape measure showing the drop, and your address. We review those details and follow up with a quote or questions. An initial onsite visit is not always needed. That saves time for both of us, and we can schedule an onsite visit if the photos raise questions.
Can leveling fix water running toward my foundation?
Sometimes. Raising a patio, walk, or driveway panel that settled toward the house can restore some pitch away from the foundation. Drainage also depends on gutters, downspouts, and surrounding grades, so we point out anything that is likely to undo the repair.
How big are the holes you drill?
Polyfoam lifting uses small access ports, much smaller than the holes used for traditional mudjacking. The number and placement depend on the slab. After the lift, the ports are patched.
How much does concrete leveling cost in Lansing?
Pricing depends on the size of the slab, how far it has settled, how much void space is underneath, access, and how many areas need work, so we do not publish a flat price. Text photos, rough measurements, and your Lansing address and we can usually provide a remote quote. Leveling is often far less disruptive than tearing out and replacing a slab that is still usable.
