A sunken or tipped sidewalk panel is a trip hazard, and in Columbia the property owner is responsible for the sidewalk next to the home.
A driveway that settles where it meets the garage leaves a lip and lets water run back toward the house.
Steps and porches that settle tilt away from the house or open a gap at the foundation.
Patio slabs that sink tilt toward the house and leave puddles after every rain.
Real Foamjection lifts on the kinds of slabs we fix for Columbia homeowners. Small holes, no tear-out.
Foamjection is powered by HMI, which provides the equipment, training and systems behind every lift. Here’s what you can expect when you call us about your Columbia concrete:
Drill Small HolesOur crew drills small 5/8″ holes in key areas of the slab.
Inject High-Density Polyurethane FoamThis is the core of polyurethane concrete lifting — the foam expands beneath the slab, fills voids, stabilizes loose soils, and delivers a controlled slab lifting process.
Patch & Use the Same DayOnce the slab reaches the correct height, holes are patched and the area is often ready to use within hours.
Tell us what’s sinking and where. A local pro will follow up with a free, no-pressure estimate.
Boone County is home to the Hatton soil series, which the USDA describes as wind-blown silt over weathered glacial till, with a dense, clay-rich subsoil that water moves through very slowly.
Slow-draining clay stays wet after rain, then dries and shrinks in hot weather. That back-and-forth leaves empty spaces under driveways, walks and patios, and the concrete settles into them. Foam fills those spaces and firms up the soil beneath.

Every service below uses the same foam lifting process, sized to the slab. Not sure which one you need? Describe the problem on the estimate form and a local pro will help you figure it out.
Property owners are responsible for maintaining the sidewalks next to their property, including sidewalk in the right-of-way. The City’s cost-share program reimburses part of the cost of qualifying panel repairs along City-maintained streets. See the City of Columbia sidewalk cost share program.
If the panel is in one piece and the problem is a height difference, lifting may be an option. Ask about it during your estimate, and check City requirements before working on a public sidewalk.
Yes. Foamjection also serves Ashland, Centralia, Fulton, Boonville, Holts Summit and Fayette. You’ll find links to each area at the bottom of this page.
Keep water away from slab edges. Extend downspouts and keep soil sloped away from the house so the clay underneath stays more even.
