WHY DES MOINES SLABS SINK
Glacial clay and hard frost.
Sidewalks feel both.
Central Iowa’s glacial clay holds water and freezes deep. Each thaw softens the base under driveways and walks, and backfill around newer homes keeps settling for years.
Where to look first: Panels next to the foundation and the garage apron.
We list 7 crews here, each one checked on its own site for concrete lifting in Des Moines. 4 do foam, 2 do mudjacking. Coverage reaches Central Iowa, Ankeny, Waukee, Urbandale.

COMMON SURFACES
What sinks, and what to ask
If the slab is cracked into pieces or crumbling, lifting won’t save it. If it’s whole but sunk, it usually can be lifted.
Driveways
Usually the apron at the garage drops first. Ask if they’ll seal the joints afterward, because that’s where water gets in.
Sidewalks
A 1-inch trip edge is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Ask how many panels they’ll lift to make it flush.
Patios
A patio tipped toward the house sends rain at your foundation. Ask them to set it back to slope away.
Garage floors
Foam works well here: small holes and you can park on it the same day. Crack repair is usually extra.
Steps & stoops
A stoop pulling away from the house is common, and heavy. Ask whether they lift it whole or need to anchor it.
A QUICK METHOD CHECK
Mudjacking or
polyjacking?
Mud is cheaper and heavier. Foam costs more, leaves smaller holes and you can drive on it the same day. Neither one fixes bad drainage.

Foam lifting
National ranges from HomeGuide, not Des Moines bids.Expanding polyurethane through ⅝ in. holes. Usually $8–$25 per sq. ft. nationally.
COST CONTEXT
