Void formation under Amarillo slabs is a predictable consequence of the clay soil. When Panhandle clay dries out — which it does every drought cycle — it shrinks away from the underside of the slab. The result is an air gap: a void between the concrete and the now-lower soil surface.
Concrete that spans a void has no support. When the load is applied — foot traffic, furniture, vehicles in the garage — the slab section drops or cracks. By the time it’s visible, the void has usually been there for months.
Slab lifting fills the void and restores grade without tearing out and replacing the concrete.
What slab lifting can fix in Amarillo homes
- Interior floor sections — rooms where one side of the floor is noticeably lower than the other, or where transitions between rooms have a sudden step that wasn’t there before
- Garage floors — settled garage slabs that slope toward the house instead of away, or that have dropped at the threshold
- Driveways — settled driveway panels that create water pooling or a trip hazard
- Exterior steps and walkways — settled concrete steps and path panels around the perimeter
Slab lifting is appropriate for settled sections that are still structurally intact. Concrete that has deteriorated, cracked through multiple times, or is too thin is typically a replacement rather than a lift. We tell you which situation you have.
When slab lifting isn’t the right fix
If the foundation wall itself has moved — settled, bowed, or cracked — that’s a pier installation problem, not a slab lifting problem. Lifting a slab that continues to move because the foundation wall is still settling is a temporary measure. We don’t sell it as a permanent fix.

Slab Lifting & Leveling — common questions
- What causes voids under Amarillo slabs?
- Clay shrinkage during drought cycles is the primary cause. When the clay under the slab shrinks, it pulls away from the concrete and leaves a void. The unsupported slab section cracks and drops. Drainage problems that route water away from the foundation too quickly — or not at all — accelerate the process.
- What is polyurethane foam lifting?
- We drill small injection ports (5/8" diameter) through the slab, inject high-density foam through those ports, and the foam expands in the void below. It lifts the slab back to grade as it expands. The ports are patched after the job. The foam cures within minutes.
- Is slab lifting permanent in Amarillo's soil?
- The foam doesn't degrade. But if the soil conditions that caused the void — drought-driven clay shrinkage, inadequate drainage — continue unchanged, the soil can shift again. We tell you if drainage correction or other mitigation is warranted alongside the lift.
- Can slab lifting fix interior floors in living areas?
- Yes. Interior slab sections that have dropped relative to the main slab are good lifting candidates as long as the concrete isn't cracked through or deteriorated.
- How much does slab lifting cost in Amarillo?
- Slab lifting typically runs $2,000–$7,000 depending on area and void volume. Small sections or single settled panels can run $400–$1,000. We estimate based on square footage and the depth of the void. Free inspection confirms scope before we quote.
