On flat Hobbs lots, storm water sits and slabs sink
Hobbs is flat, and that matters for concrete. When a storm finally breaks a long dry spell, the rain comes hard and has no slope to follow, so it sheets across yards and stands against the edges of driveways, walks, and patios. Under much of that concrete is sand, and in many yards a hard caliche layer sits not far below it. Water sinks through the sand quickly, stops at the caliche, and spreads sideways, where it can loosen the sand under a slab and carry some of it off. Newer houses often add a second weak spot: dirt backfilled along the foundation that was never packed tight. Either way, the concrete follows the ground down.
Lifting fixes that. We drill a handful of holes no bigger than a dime through the low section and pump polyurethane foam underneath. It swells into the gap and raises the concrete, and once the slab is back in line we fill the holes. The foam adds little weight; the crew confirms when the slab can carry foot traffic and vehicles. Where sand has left a hollow under a slab that hasn’t dropped yet, the foam fills that too. Before we lift, we find where the water collects and show you, because if storm water keeps pooling at that edge, the sand under it will keep moving.
Typical concrete leveling jobs in Hobbs
- Driveway sections sunk at the low edge where rain puddles
- Walks beside newer homes that dropped as the backfill settled
- Sidewalk joints with a lip high enough to trip on
- Driveway aprons sunk where heavy work trucks cross every day
- Patios and pool decks with a low corner that holds water
What we plan around in Hobbs
- Flat lots where rain pools against slabs, so we check grading first
- Sand over caliche that lets water run sideways under concrete
- Hard storms after long dry spells that soak the ground all at once
- Work trucks parked on drives poured for cars, which foam can’t thicken
How it works
Step 1
Find the cause
We look at the slab, how far it dropped, and where the water that softened the ground came from.
Step 2
Drill
A few dime-sized holes go through the slab. No saw cuts and no jackhammer.
Step 3
Lift
Polyurethane foam goes in under the slab and expands, and we watch the concrete come up as it does.
Step 4
Patch
The holes get patched and the area cleaned up. The crew confirms when foot traffic and vehicles can return.
