Concrete Problems We Fix Around Brentwood

Brentwood is small, under two square miles, but between Deer Creek, post-war houses and busy commercial roads, its concrete takes a beating.

Slabs near Deer Creek

The city counts 26 floods along Deer Creek since 1957, between Hanley Road and South Brentwood Boulevard. Water that gets under patios and walks there can wash soil away and leave the slab hanging over a void.

Garage aprons on post-war homes

Houses built during the 1940s and 50s growth spurt have aprons that have been settling for 70 years or more. The usual sign is a lip at the garage door.

Raised sidewalk edge creating a trip hazard

Sidewalk panels pushed out of line

Roots and settling soil can tip a sidewalk panel without cracking it. A panel that's still whole can usually be lifted back in line instead of torn out.

Commercial walks near Manchester Road

Businesses near Manchester Road, Brentwood Boulevard and Hanley Road get a lot of foot traffic. A sunken walk at an entry is a quick lift that keeps people from tripping.

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 Brentwood

The Missouri Geological Survey's map of the Webster Groves quadrangle, which includes Brentwood, shows wind-blown silt (loess) up to about 70 feet thick on the higher ground and fill up to 40 feet thick where land was built up for roads and rail lines. It also shows a buried layer of soft organic clay about 20 feet down in the terrace deposits.

Deer Creek runs through Brentwood on its way to the River des Peres in Maplewood. The city's Brentwood Bound project, which broke ground in December 2019, adds flow capacity to the creek with bank stabilization and floodplain widening to cut down on flooding.

Silt and soft clay both lose strength when they're soaked again and again, and slabs settle into the low spots. Mudjacking fills those spots with grout and raises the slab, and pointing downspouts away from it helps keep water out.

 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!!!!

Brentwood Mudjacking FAQ

Who fixes the sidewalk in front of my Brentwood home?

For a public sidewalk, contact Brentwood Public Works at 314.962.4800. Your driveway, walks, steps and patio are yours to take care of, and that's what we lift.

Has Brentwood lifted its own sidewalks before?

Yes. In 2017, Brentwood Public Works raised about 195 feet of sidewalk slabs that tree roots had tilted, in roughly four hours, instead of tearing them out. The city estimated it cost about $2,200 compared with about $3,175 for replacement, and the Missouri Municipal League gave it an innovation award. Mudjacking works on the same idea: keep the slab and fix what's under it.

Should I lift a slab near Deer Creek?

If the slab is whole and the area isn't flooding often, lifting is usually worth it, because we fill the void as we raise the concrete. If a slab keeps getting soaked, also look at drainage, or the void can come back.

Do you lift concrete for businesses?

Yes. We lift walks, entries and parking area slabs for businesses, and we'll work with you on timing so customers can still get in.

Do you serve the areas around Brentwood?

Yes. We work in Clayton, Ladue, Webster Groves, Kirkwood, University City and across St. Louis and St. Charles counties.
