Bridgeton was first platted in 1794 and grew quickly in the 1960s, from about 7,800 people in 1960 to nearly 20,000 in 1970. Today homes from that era sit near warehouses and businesses around the I-70 and I-270 interchange, with the Missouri River on the city's northwest edge.

How mudjacking lifts a sunken driveway, start to finish.

Concrete Problems We Fix Around Bridgeton

Bridgeton has river-bottom ground, an urban creek and a lot of heavy truck traffic. Here's what we're most often called out for.

Concrete driveway slab sunken below the edge of a garage door

Garage lips on 1960s homes

Bridgeton more than doubled in population during the 1960s. On driveways from that era, the first driveway panel at the garage often sits below the floor and leaves a lip at the door.

Raised sidewalk edge creating a trip hazard

Sidewalk and driveway entrance trip edges

Bridgeton's code puts most repairs of the sidewalk and driveway entrance next to a home on the owner. When one panel drops below its neighbor, lifting it is usually the simplest way to take out the trip edge.

Patio slab settled away from a brick wall

Back patios near Coldwater Creek

Coldwater Creek flows north through Bridgeton on its way to the airport. Lots that drain toward it keep the soil damp, and patios on that soil settle toward the low corner.

Warehouse and dock slabs near the interstates

Bridgeton is a transport hub for the region, and part of its commercial land lies on levee-protected floodplain. Floor and dock slabs there take heavy loads, and joints that drop slow down every pallet that crosses them.

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 Bridgeton

The Missouri Geological Survey's maps that cover Bridgeton, the St. Charles and Creve Coeur quadrangles, show two very different kinds of ground. The uplands are wind-blown silt (loess). In the Missouri River bottoms, silt-capped river deposits run from about 20 feet thick where the floodplain meets the hills to more than 120 feet where the river cut into the bedrock, and the water table sits 5 to 15 feet below the surface.

The Creve Coeur map also describes artificial fill up to 40 feet deep under highways and rail beds, and soft organic clays about 20 feet down in the old river terraces. Commercial building in Bridgeton picked up in the 1990s, and levee-protected floodplain is part of that commercial land.

Wet river silt, compressible clay and placed fill all keep settling under weight, while loess on the slopes washes out when runoff gets under a slab. Mudjacking fills the space that opens up under the concrete with a cement-based grout and brings the slab back toward level.

 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!!!!

Bridgeton Mudjacking FAQ

Who fixes the sidewalk in front of my Bridgeton home?

Under Bridgeton's city code, each owner must repair the sidewalk and driveway entrance next to their property when the damage comes from normal wear or from something the owner or a resident did. The city repairs them when the cause is poor original construction, erosion from storm water coming off another property, or a casualty, and it may repair damage from tree roots. If an owner doesn't act within 15 days of a notice, the city can do the work and bill the owner. To report a damaged sidewalk, call Bridgeton Public Works at 314-739-7665.

How long does a Bridgeton mudjacking job take?

Most driveway, walk and patio jobs are done in a few hours. Commercial floors and dock slabs depend on the size of the area, and we'll lay out a plan and schedule with your estimate.

Why does concrete settle in the Missouri River bottoms?

The river bottoms are deep, soft deposits with groundwater close to the surface, and a lot of the ground was raised with fill. All of that keeps compressing under buildings and slabs, so concrete slowly loses support from below.

Can you lift warehouse and dock slabs?

Yes. We lift floor sections, dock approaches, walks and entries for commercial and industrial buildings. We'll look at the joints and give you a plan that keeps your trucks moving.

Do you serve the areas around Bridgeton?

Yes. We work in Hazelwood, St. Ann, Maryland Heights, Florissant, St. Charles and across St. Louis and St. Charles counties.
