The ground in Concord
How Does Concord Soil Affect Concrete Slabs?
The USDA sample inside Concord is mostly Iredell soil, a brown clay. In a USDA sample of five points inside Concord, three are Iredell, one is Mecklenburg and one is Cecil. Countywide, the most common soil in Cabarrus County is Enon, on more than a tenth of the land, with Cecil, Badin and Mecklenburg behind it. The USDA rates the sample inside Concord very high for swelling and shrinking, which means it swells a lot when it gets wet and shrinks a lot as it dries.
Iredell is a soil that formed in place as darker rock rich in iron and magnesium beneath it weathered, usually found on Piedmont uplands. Its top layer is sandy loam, and under that is brown clay. Loam is soil with a mix of sand, silt and clay. It drains a little slowly, so it can stay wet for short periods in a wet season.
Mecklenburg is a deep soil that formed in place as darker rock rich in iron and magnesium beneath it weathered, usually found on ridges and hillsides. Its top layer is loam, and under that is yellowish red clay. It drains well.
What It Means for Your Home
- What to watchAs clay swells and shrinks with the seasons, it can lift and drop driveways, walks and patios unevenly, and gaps can open under the edges of a slab.
- Signs you might noticeLook for a cracked driveway, raised slab edges you can trip on, and a cracked garage floor.
- How we address itWe raise settled slabs with polyurethane foam injection and fill hollows under them with concrete void filling, on sidewalks, patios and garage floors.
Soil survey: USDA NRCS Soil Data Access (SSURGO), sdmdataaccess.nrcs.usda.gov. Inside Concord, the survey maps Iredell, Mecklenburg and Cecil series. USDA rates the soil very high for swelling and shrinking (weighted linear extensibility 11.5 percent). Across Cabarrus County, it maps Enon, Cecil, Badin and Mecklenburg series. Series descriptions: USDA NRCS Official Series Descriptions for Iredell and Mecklenburg.
Our approach
How Do We Approach Concrete Leveling in Concord?
A sunken concrete slab usually means the soil holding it up gave way. Concrete leveling lifts a settled slab back to its original elevation by filling the empty space underneath it and supporting it again from below, usually with polyurethane foam leveling.
It is far less disruptive than tearing out and repouring concrete. We drill small ports, pump material under controlled pressure until the slab rises evenly back to grade, and patch the ports when we are done. In most cases the surface is ready to use again soon after the work.
Compared to replacement, lifting keeps your existing concrete and avoids the color and texture mismatch of a fresh pour against old.
We level sidewalks, patios and porches, garage floors, pool decks, interior slabs, and concrete steps and stairs, and we start every job with a free inspection that finds the root cause before we recommend anything. Lifting is the right call when the slab is structurally sound and simply sitting too low.
It is not the right call when the concrete is broken into pieces or when a structural footing is the real issue. If that is what we find, we will tell you, and we will point you toward the repair that actually fits. The goal is a level surface, with the work explained in plain terms.

Problem signs
What Are the Signs You May Need Concrete Leveling in Concord?
- Uneven Concrete SlabsAn uneven concrete slab has dropped, tilted, or shifted out of its original plane because the soil supporting it changed.
- Tripping HazardsA tripping hazard from concrete is a spot where one section of flatwork has shifted out of plane with the next, leaving a raised or dropped edge a foot can catch on.
- Broken SidewalkA broken sidewalk is a walkway whose panels have cracked, dropped, tilted, or lifted because the ground beneath them changed.
- Cracked Garage FloorA cracked garage floor is a slab that has fractured because the soil supporting it changed, the slab moved, or the concrete shrank as it cured.
- Cracked ConcreteCracked concrete shows up on the surfaces you walk and park on every day: a thin line across a garage floor, a crack splitting a driveway or sidewalk panel, a patio or porch slab breaking near a joint, or a hairline telegraphing through tile over an interior slab.
