When 5,000 square feet of custom home meets Johnson County clay, something eventually gives. We've fixed it throughout Hallbrook and along Mission Road.
Last updated April 2026
Sunken concrete around Leawood usually traces back to the soil. The Johnson County clay underneath washes out or compresses, and the slab follows it down. We lift it back with polyurethane foam injection: penny-sized holes, foam that cures in minutes, and you're parking on the driveway the same day. Compared to tearing out and repouring, you're usually looking at about half the cost.
Leawood's big custom homes put serious weight on Johnson County clay. A 5,000 square foot house loads the soil differently than a ranch — more weight means more settlement, and when it happens you feel it everywhere. We've been fixing these in Hallbrook and along Mission Road for years.
Settling foundations, bowing walls, finished basement waterproofing, crawl spaces, concrete leveling. Quality work for quality homes.

Bigger homes mean bigger, heavier slabs and more weight bearing on the Johnson County clay. As that clay swells, shrinks, and washes out, the soil support under a wide driveway or a large patio gets uneven and the concrete drops in spots. The custom homes here often have extensive hardscape, so there's simply more slab to settle.
Yes, that's the strength of foam injection. We raise the slab gradually and evenly through penny-sized holes, so a stamped patio or a pool deck comes back to grade without the cracking that heavy machinery would cause. The finishes on Leawood hardscape are worth protecting, and foam does it cleanly.
Replacement of decorative or stamped concrete is expensive and rarely matches the original color and texture. Lifting keeps your existing finish in place at a fraction of the cost and is done in an afternoon. We only recommend replacement when a slab is genuinely beyond saving.
The polyurethane cures in about 15 minutes, so a walkway is usable almost right away and a driveway takes weight within a day. Most Leawood jobs are finished in a few hours with very little disruption to the property.
