Garage apron and driveway joints
The panel closest to the garage is the one we lift most often in Overland Park. A dropped apron creates a lip that scrapes bumpers, lets water run toward the garage, and makes the expansion joint a trip point.

Sunken concrete repair in Overland Park.
Overland Park is the largest city in Johnson County and one of the most varied places we work. North of I-435, many neighborhoods were built in the 1950s through the 1970s, and their driveways, front walks, and stoops have had decades to settle. South of 119th Street, newer subdivisions sit on graded lots where backfill around foundations and along driveways is still consolidating. Both situations can leave a slab that is sound on top but no longer supported underneath.
Homeowners usually call us about a driveway panel that has dropped at the garage, a sidewalk joint that catches a mower wheel or a visitor’s toe, or a patio that now pitches back toward the house. Many Overland Park homeowners associations also expect walks and drives to stay even and safe. Polyfoam leveling lets us raise those slabs through small ports, usually without the demolition, haul-off, and long curing time of a full replacement.

Local Conditions
Why concrete settles in Overland Park.
Much of Overland Park sits on silty clay soils that swell when they are wet and shrink during dry Kansas summers. That seasonal movement, combined with freeze–thaw cycles in winter, gradually opens voids beneath slabs. Water from downspouts, sump discharge, and lawn irrigation can then carry fine soil out from under the concrete, especially along driveway edges and where walkways meet the stoop.
In newer areas of south Overland Park, the bigger factor is often fill soil. Lots are graded and built quickly, and the soil placed around foundations and under approaches continues to compress for years. That is why we commonly see a garage apron or front walk drop while the rest of the driveway stays put. Lifting the slab and filling the void beneath it addresses the support problem, and we point out any drainage issues that are likely to cause the settling to return.
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 Overland Park Projects
The concrete we lift most often in Overland Park.
Every slab is different, so we start with what is happening at your property. These are the repairs Overland Park property owners ask us about most.
Front walks and stoops
Older homes north of I-435 often have walks and stoops that have pulled away from the house or tipped toward it. Raising them can close the gap at the foundation and remove the step-up at each joint.
Back patios and pool decks
Patios that slope toward the house can push rainwater against the foundation. We raise the low side to restore pitch where the slab and surrounding grades allow it.
Commercial walks and entries
Office parks, retail centers, and multifamily properties around Overland Park use leveling to correct trip hazards at entrances and sidewalks with less downtime than tearing out and repouring.

- 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.

Overland Park Concrete Leveling FAQ
Questions from Overland Park property owners.
Will my Overland Park HOA allow concrete leveling?
Concrete leveling keeps the existing slab in place, so the finished surface looks like your current driveway or walk with a few patched ports. Most associations focus on safety and appearance, and leveling usually addresses trip hazards without changing the look of the property. If your HOA requires approval for exterior work, we can provide a written scope you can submit.
My house in south Overland Park is less than 10 years old. Why is the concrete already sinking?
Newer homes are often built on fill soil that keeps compressing after the concrete is poured, especially near the garage and along the front walk. The settlement is common and not necessarily a sign of poor concrete. If the slab is still intact, foam lifting can fill the voids below it and bring it back into alignment.
Can you quote my Overland Park project without coming out first?
Usually, yes. Text a wide photo of the full slab, close-ups of the low joints, a tape measure showing the height difference, and your address. We review the details and follow up with a quote or any questions; an initial onsite visit is not always needed.
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.
When is replacement a better choice than leveling?
If the concrete is badly broken, crumbling, severely spalled, or cannot move without damaging a fixed structure, replacement may be the better investment. We tell you when a slab is not a good lifting candidate rather than recommending a repair that will not hold up. Our leveling vs. replacement guide covers the trade-offs.
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.
