To fix an uneven concrete slab, the most common professional method is slab jacking, also known as mud jacking or polyurethane foam injection. This process involves drilling small holes into the slab and pumping a grout or expanding foam underneath to lift the concrete back to its original level. For minor unevenness, a self-leveling concrete overlay can be applied to create a smooth surface. However, if the unevenness is caused by significant soil settlement or foundation movement, a more comprehensive foundation repair is required.
