Concrete Leveling in Mission, KS
PolyJacks levels sunken driveways, patios, and walkways in Mission, KS with polyurethane foam.
A one-visit fix that skips full slab replacement, backed by a free on-site estimate. Mission is a compact, well-established city in northeast Johnson County built up around Johnson Drive. Its most visible landmark for the last two decades hasn't been a building at all. It's the empty lot where Mission Center Mall stood from 1956 until its 2006 demolition, still waiting on the Mission Gateway redevelopment that's been stuck in planning and financing setbacks since 2005. Much of the residential concrete around that corridor dates to the same mid-1950s building wave as the original mall.
Mission Gateway: Two Decades of a Vacant Corner on Johnson Drive
Mission Center Mall opened in 1956 and anchored the city's Johnson Drive corridor for nearly 50 years before it closed in 2005 and was demolished in 2006. What's happened since is unusual even by redevelopment standards: the site, rebranded Mission Gateway, has sat mostly vacant through multiple stalled proposals and financing collapses, including a 2017 redevelopment agreement that expired unmet and the city's 2023 termination of the deal after the owner stopped paying property taxes. Nearly 20 years on, the lot is still waiting on its next chapter. A visible reminder of how long pavement and concrete can sit neglected once a property stalls. A lot of the homes and driveways in the blocks around that corridor were built in the same mid-1950s wave as the original mall, meaning they've been settling on Johnson County clay for close to 70 years.
Why Concrete Leveling Comes Up So Often in Mission
Mission is a small, mostly built-out city, and a lot of its residential concrete: much of it dating to the same mid-1950s wave as the old Mission Center Mall: has had a long time to settle. Johnson County's clay soil is the main driver, it swells during wet stretches and shrinks back during dry ones, and that constant movement slowly opens gaps underneath driveways, walkways, and patios. Winter freeze-thaw cycles add to it every year, and older homes near Johnson Drive with mature landscaping sometimes have root systems and drainage patterns that speed up the settling near a walkway or patio edge. None of this means anything is wrong with the concrete itself, it's a sign the ground underneath moved. That's the exact situation polyurethane foam injection is designed to fix, and it's why concrete leveling in Mission is such a regular call for us.
Driveways, Walkways, and Patios We Level in Mission
We handle concrete leveling in Mission for driveways, front and side walkways, back patios, porches and steps, garage floors, and pool decks, plus filling voids under slabs that haven't dropped far enough yet to be obvious. Driveway leveling in Mission often means dealing with older, narrower single-lane driveways that settle unevenly where they meet the street or the garage floor. A dip at a front walkway near Johnson Drive or an uneven step at a side entrance are both common calls too. Every job starts the same way, a free on-site estimate where we look at what's actually happening underneath before recommending foam or telling you it's not the right fix.
Mudjacking Mission vs. Polyjacking: What's the Difference
Mudjacking Mission properties has traditionally meant pumping a heavy cement-based slurry through large holes to raise a slab. It can work, but the added weight isn't ideal on ground that's already settled once, and the slurry can wash out or break down if water gets underneath it again. Polyjacking uses polyurethane foam instead, injected through holes about the size of a dime, so there's far less patching and far less weight added to soil that's already shown it moves. The foam cures waterproof within minutes, so it holds up better long-term against Johnson County's wet-dry seasonal swings. For older Mission properties where a driveway or patio has already settled once, that lighter, waterproof approach is usually the better long-term bet.
What to Expect from a Free Estimate
A free estimate for concrete leveling in Mission starts with us walking the property, looking at the affected driveway, patio, or walkway, and checking how much it's dropped and why. If polyurethane foam is the right fix, we'll explain the process and give you a clear picture of what to expect, small dime-sized holes, foam injected underneath, and the slab lifted back toward level, often finished in a single visit. If foam isn't the right call for your situation, we'll say so instead of pushing a sale you don't need. There's no obligation either way, and no pressure tactics.

Frequently asked
How much does concrete leveling cost in Mission?
We don't publish prices, every driveway or patio has a different cause of settling. A free on-site estimate is the only way to get an accurate number. Call (913) 713-7794.
How long does the process take?
Most residential jobs in Mission are completed in a single visit. You can walk on the concrete in 15-30 minutes and drive on it in 1-2 hours.
Is polyurethane foam leveling permanent?
The foam is waterproof and stable once it cures, but no leveling method can stop the clay soil from moving again in the future.
Will the leveled concrete match what's already there?
Yes, we lift your existing slab instead of pouring new concrete, so the surface and color match aside from a few small patched holes.
Do you serve areas near Mission, like Roeland Park or Westwood?
Yes, we regularly serve Fairway, Roeland Park, Merriam, Westwood, Mission Hills, and Prairie Village in addition to Mission.
What is the Mission Gateway site, and does it affect nearby homes?
It's the long-vacant lot on Johnson Drive where Mission Center Mall stood from 1956 until 2006: redevelopment has stalled for almost 20 years. It doesn't directly affect the soil under nearby homes, but a lot of the residential concrete in the surrounding blocks dates to that same mid-1950s era and is nearing 70 years old.
