The ground in High Point
How Does High Point Soil Affect Concrete Slabs?
The USDA sample inside High Point is mostly Mecklenburg soil, a deep yellowish red clay. Of the five points the USDA sampled inside High Point, three are Mecklenburg, one is Vance and one is Enon. Across Guilford County as a whole, the most common soil is Enon, covering about a fifth of the land, followed by Cecil, Clifford and Mecklenburg. The USDA rates the sample inside High Point moderate for swelling and shrinking.
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. Loam is soil with a mix of sand, silt and clay. It drains well, and the USDA rates it moderate for swelling and shrinking, which means it swells noticeably when it gets wet and shrinks as it dries.
Vance is a moderately deep soil that formed in place as pale rock such as granite and gneiss beneath it weathered. Soft, weathered rock lies a few feet down, and hard bedrock lies much deeper. Its top layer is sandy loam, and under that is yellowish brown clay. It drains well.
What It Means for Your Home
- What works in your favorMecklenburg drains well, so water usually moves through it instead of sitting under a slab.
- 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 uneven slabs, a cracked driveway, and raised slab edges you can trip on.
- 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 High Point, the survey maps Mecklenburg, Vance and Enon series. USDA rates the soil moderate for swelling and shrinking (weighted linear extensibility 5.5 percent). Across Guilford County, it maps Enon, Cecil, Clifford and Mecklenburg series. Series descriptions: USDA NRCS Official Series Descriptions for Mecklenburg and Vance.
Our approach
How Do We Approach Concrete Leveling in High Point?
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 High Point?
- 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.
