A slab that's hollow underneath is a different problem than one that's just sunk a little. Stabilization fills the void so the concrete has full support again, stopping the movement before it gets worse.

This isn't cosmetic leveling. It's the step that comes first when a slab sounds hollow when you knock on it, or when a garage floor keeps pulling away from the house year after year. Richardson Concrete Lifting checks for voids before recommending a lift, since lifting an unsupported slab without filling the gap underneath doesn't hold.

What's included

What's Included with Slab Stabilization

Typically included: void location and mapping, drilling access points, injecting fill material, verifying solid support afterward.

Optional: combining stabilization with a lift if the slab has also dropped noticeably.

Customer prep: clear the area and note any spots where you've heard hollow sounds or seen new cracking.

FAQs

Slab Stabilization FAQs

How do I know if my foundation issue is soil-related or plumbing-related?

Soil-related settling tends to show up as gradual, uneven dips tied to dry or wet stretches. Plumbing leaks under a slab often cause a localized soft or wet spot, sometimes with a higher water bill. If you're not sure, a leak detection check alongside our assessment can rule plumbing in or out.

Can concrete lifting fix a garage floor that's pulling away from the house?

Stabilization can fill the void causing that separation. Once the slab has solid support, we can often lift it back toward the original line at the threshold.

Do I need a full foundation repair instead of void filling?

Not usually. Void filling addresses soil gaps under a slab. Full foundation repair, with piers or beams, is a different scope for structural issues beyond what fill can solve. Most Richardson homes we see need the fill, not the bigger fix.

How much does slab stabilization cost?

It depends on how much void area needs filling. A small spot might be a few hundred dollars; a full perimeter treatment costs more. We give a number after seeing the site.

Will stabilization stop cracks from spreading?

It removes the cause of new movement in that spot, which usually stops the crack from getting worse. It won't close an existing crack on its own.
