That annoying bump at your garage isn’t just a nuisance — it’s a warning sign.
Do you ever feel a jarring thump as your vehicle crosses the threshold of your garage, right where the driveway meets the concrete slab? That familiar bump has a name: the “Drop of Doom.”
This seemingly minor annoyance is actually a sign of a bigger problem — a sunken garage slab that is not only frustrating but can also cause damage to your vehicle’s suspension and body over time.
Why Does the “Drop of Doom” Happen?
The most common culprit is soil settlement or erosion underneath the concrete. Over time, water seeps under the slab, washing away the supporting soil and creating voids.
Without a solid foundation, the concrete loses its support and begins to sink, creating that dreaded “Drop of Doom” right in your path.
A Smarter Solution Than Replacement
Replacing an entire slab is expensive and disruptive. Thankfully, there’s a much more efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective solution: concrete lifting.
This process — also known as mudjacking — is a powerful way to level sunken concrete and eliminate that frustrating bump once and for all.
How Our Driveway & Garage Slab Drop Repair Works
Our process is simple, clean, and effective:
- We carefully inject a specialized grout mixture of clay, sand, and aggregate beneath the slab through small, strategically drilled holes.
- The mixture fills the voids, gently lifting the concrete back into its original position with a high-pressure pump (also known as a mud pump).
- The result is a level, stable surface that’s ready for use in just 24 hours — without the mess, high cost, or long curing times of a full replacement.
Why Homeowners Choose Concrete Lifting
- Cost-effective compared to replacing the slab
- Eco-friendly — uses existing concrete instead of adding waste
- Quick turnaround — drive on it the next day
- Long-lasting — restores structural stability
