Concrete Problems We Fix Around Manchester

Deep silt, eroding creeks and a long commercial stretch on Manchester Road shape most of the jobs we see in Manchester.

Slabs close to eroding creeks

A 2021 city inventory ranked creek erosion problems across Manchester, and 2025 projects target Gascony Creek in Country Lane Woods and a creek at Country Stone Drive. When a bank wears back, the soil under nearby slabs can wash out with it.

Storefront walks along Manchester Road

The city has been rebuilding sidewalks along Manchester Road for pedestrians. Private walks and entries at the businesses beside it still settle on their own, and a raised edge at a shop door is a trip waiting to happen.

Garage aprons that drop at the door

The apron in front of the garage usually sits over backfill. As it compacts, the slab slips lower than the garage floor, and water starts running toward the door instead of away from it.

Front steps that sink at the porch

Steps poured as a separate piece settle on their own schedule. Once they drop, the first riser gets taller and a gap opens against the house.

Before & After: What Mudjacking Fixes

These are the kinds of slabs we lift every week across St. Louis and St. Charles counties. The slab stays in place; we raise it and fill the empty space underneath.

How Mudjacking Works

Small drilled holes in a settled concrete walkway before mudjacking

1. Drill small holes

We drill a few small holes through the settled slab to reach the empty or soft spots underneath.

2. Pump and lift

A cement-based grout is pumped under the slab. It fills the voids first, then slowly raises the concrete back toward level.

3. Patch and clean up

Once the slab is where it should be, we patch the holes and clean up. Most jobs are finished the same day.

Why Concrete Sinks in Manchester

The Missouri Geological Survey's map of the Weldon Spring, Chesterfield and Manchester quadrangles shows two layers of wind-blown silt (loess) that can total 140 feet. The survey notes that the contact between those layers can act as a slide plane on steep ground, and that water perches where the silt sits on shale.

Where the silt thins out, the limestone below may be karstic. Manchester Spring and Manchester Cave, both pictured on the city's America 250 coin, are reminders of that rock. On slopes and at the foot of hills, the same map shows residual soil with a high clay content mixed with broken rock.

The city has hired engineers for a citywide stormwater master plan to find where flooding and erosion happen. At home, the fix for a sunken slab is to fill the empty space under it with mudjacking grout and lift it, then keep roof water from cutting a new channel along the edge.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nick and his family turned my highly uneven, and very large, concrete driveway and pad into an almost perfectly level sheet. It was amazing to see. Nick and his family were awesome to work with, the price was fair, and the results were amazing. I highly recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nick and his team were extremely punctual, hard working and completed the task on time. We had almost fifty feet of foundation cracks repaired as well as the driveway mudjacked. Would highly recommend for future work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wrote a bad review earlier about bad communication. His family was very ill that is why he was slow to get back to me. I ended up hiring them for a large driveway leveling job and it turned out great. Great quality and great pricing. I have referred St. Louis Mud Jacking multiple times since my project and I will continue to use them on my properties. I wish there was a way to remove my old review but I wasn't able to. Great company!!!!

Manchester Mudjacking FAQ

Who fixes the sidewalk in front of my Manchester home?

For a public sidewalk, contact Manchester Public Works at (636) 227-1385, ext. 118. The city requires a permit before anyone works in the public right-of-way or installs or replaces a driveway. Your driveway, walks, steps and patio are yours, and that's where we come in.

Do I need a permit to replace my driveway in Manchester?

Yes. The city's right-of-way and driveway permit form says a permit is required for driveway installation or replacement. If your driveway is sunken but still in one piece, ask us whether lifting it is an option before you plan a tear-out.

Why do slabs settle near Manchester's creeks?

Creek banks here keep wearing back, and the city keeps a list of the worst spots. Water moving through the yard toward a creek can carry silt out from under a patio or walk, and the slab drops into the gap.

Can you lift concrete at a business on Manchester Road?

Yes. We lift entry walks, sidewalks and parking slabs at shops and offices. Most small commercial jobs take a few hours, and we can work around your busy times.

Do you serve the areas around Manchester?

Yes. We work in Ballwin, Des Peres, Chesterfield, Kirkwood and across St. Louis and St. Charles counties.
