What To Expect During A Concrete Repair Inspection

Noticing cracks in your driveway? A sidewalk that feels uneven? Or maybe your front steps have started to sink? These are all common signs that your concrete may need attention. At Thrasher Foundation Repair, we know how stressful these changes can feel. Your home is your biggest investment, and it’s natural to worry when something doesn’t look or feel right.

That’s why we make our concrete repair services as clear, simple, and reassuring as possible. If you’re thinking about scheduling a concrete inspection with us, here’s exactly what to expect.

What to expect from the concrete inspection process

It’s normal to feel overwhelmed and want to put home issues on the back burner.

But the truth is, cracked or sinking concrete doesn’t improve with time. Waiting often makes the problem more expensive and harder to solve.

That’s why we’ve laid out exactly what to expect during a concrete inspection with us. From scheduling your appointment to reviewing the findings together, our process is clear, respectful, and always focused on what’s best for your home.

Step 1: Schedule your concrete repair inspection 

We know you’re busy, so we’ve made it simple. You can now book a concrete inspection online in just a couple of clicks, or give us a call and we’ll find a time that works best for you.

From there, one of our system design specialists will come to your home. Every specialist at Thrasher goes through extensive training and field experience before ever inspecting homes on their own. That way, you can feel confident you’re getting an expert, not just a salesperson. 

Step 2: Introductions and first look

When we arrive, we’ll start with a friendly introduction and then ask you to point out the areas that concern you the most. Maybe it’s a sinking driveway slab, a patio that’s cracked, or a garage floor that feels uneven. We don’t want to assume or miss anything; this inspection is about your peace of mind.

Step 3: A careful, detailed assessment

Once we know what you’re worried about, we’ll dig deeper. Our specialists use levels, measuring tools, and sounding devices to check for:

• Cracks in concrete slabs
• Concrete settling or uneven surfaces
• Voids beneath the slab where soil has washed out
• Street creep or where pressure from the road pushes into your driveway or garage
• Trip hazards or areas that may worsen if left untreated

We’ll also look at related parts of your home like your foundation, crawl space, or gutters, since they can sometimes contribute to concrete issues. This isn’t just about slapping a Band-Aid on the issue. It’s about finding and fixing the cause.

Step 4: Real, honest answers, no guesswork

After the inspection, we’ll sit down with you and explain what we found in plain, simple language. No confusing jargon, no pushy pitch. Just an honest conversation about:

• Why your concrete is sinking or cracking
• What risks it poses if left alone
• What options you have to repair it

You can ask us anything, and we’ll take the time to make sure you understand every step.

What about mudjacking?

Many homeowners ask: “Can’t you just mudjack it?”

Mudjacking, also called slab jacking, is an older method of lifting concrete by pumping a mud slurry beneath the slab. While it works in some cases, it’s heavy, messy, and often doesn’t last.

That’s why Thrasher doesn’t use mudjacking. Instead, we rely on modern polyurethane foam injection, which is lighter, cleaner, cures quickly, and provides a longer-lasting lift. It’s one of the most effective and environmentally friendly methods for concrete leveling available today.

And when you work with us, you’re not just hiring any local concrete repair company. You’re partnering with a team that’s:

• Served over 200,000 homeowners across Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Colorado
• Proudly been in business for 50 years
• A 6-time winner of the BBB Torch Award for Ethics—a recognition of how we treat our customers

Why concrete repair matters

Concrete problems often start small but can grow into safety hazards and expensive repairs if left untreated. An uneven driveway might seem just inconvenient today, but over time, it could become a trip hazard for your family or guests, or cause bigger issues like cracks in your home's foundation.

That’s why we encourage homeowners to schedule a concrete repair inspection as soon as they notice something unusual. The sooner we understand what’s happening, the easier it is to fix.
