Patios poured against the house are common spots for trouble in Celina's newer builds. As clay soil settles unevenly, the slab pulls away from the foundation line, opening a gap that gets wider every season.
Sunken patio repair targets that specific edge, where the patio meets the house, and lifts the slab back so it sits flush again. Celina Concrete Lifting injects fill material close to the foundation without adding weight that could stress soil already under pressure near the house.

Sunken Patio Repair FAQs
Do I need a permit to lift a sunken patio slab in Celina?
Most patio lifting is repair-in-place work on an existing slab, which is typically permit-exempt. Check with the city if your situation involves more than a simple relevel.
Does clay soil make patio settling worse here?
Clay soil expands and contracts with moisture more than sandy soil, which is part of why patios in this area pull away from the house over time.
What's the cost range for patio repair?
Pricing depends on how wide the gap is and how much of the slab is affected. A free estimate gives you a real number.
How urgent is a gap between the patio and the house?
Worth addressing before it grows, since water pooling toward the foundation instead of away from it can cause bigger problems down the line.
Can the patio be lifted without disturbing the house foundation?
Injections are placed and monitored carefully near that edge specifically so the fill lifts the patio slab, not the foundation itself.
