Uneven Concrete Around Your Strip Mall Can Create Trip Hazards for Customers
Strip malls see a lot of daily traffic. Customers walk from the parking lot to storefronts. Tenants use rear entrances. Delivery drivers move across sidewalks, ramps, and loading areas. When concrete starts sinking or cracking, small uneven areas can turn into safety concerns fast.
The Concrete Team provides strip mall concrete lifting, mudjacking, slabjacking, concrete leveling, void filling, and concrete repair services throughout Upstate New York. We help property owners and managers raise settled concrete, reduce trip hazards, and keep their commercial properties safer and easier to use.

Why Strip Mall Concrete Sinks
Concrete around strip malls can settle for many reasons. These properties often have large paved areas, heavy traffic, drainage issues, and different sections of concrete poured at different times.
Common reasons strip mall concrete sinks include:
- Soil settlement under sidewalks and entrance slabs
- Water washing away soil below the concrete
- Freeze-thaw movement during Upstate New York winters
- Poor drainage near storefronts or parking areas
- Heavy delivery vehicles near rear entrances
- Voids forming under concrete slabs
- Older concrete that has lost support over time
- Water runoff from roofs, gutters, or parking lots
Once the base below the slab weakens, the concrete can drop, tilt, crack, or become uneven.
If your strip mall also has damaged parking areas, visit our parking lot concrete lifting page. If the issue is near tenant entrances or public walkways, our walkway and sidewalk leveling service may also be helpful.

- Gaps under concrete slabs
- Cracks forming around settled areas

- Concrete that sounds hollow underneath
Our Strip Mall Concrete Lifting Process
The Concrete Team specializes in mudjacking, also called slabjacking. This allows us to look at the project and recommend the repair
method that makes the most sense for the concrete, soil, access, traffic, and business needs.
Step 1: Evaluate the Concrete
We inspect the uneven concrete, check for voids, review drainage concerns, and look at how the area is used. We can evaluate sidewalks, storefront entrances, rear access areas, curbs, ramps, loading areas, and other concrete sections.
Step 2: Raise and Stabilize the Slabs
We lift the settled concrete using mudjacking, also called slabjacking. This process uses a grout-like material to fill voids under the slab, support the concrete, and raise it back toward the surrounding surface.
Step 3: Patch, Clean Up, and Review the Repair
After the slab is lifted, the holes are patched and the area is cleaned up. We can also discuss related repairs, such as crack repair, joint sealing, or drainage concerns that may help protect the concrete going forward.
You can learn more about how lifting works on our concrete leveling process page.
Benefits of Concrete Lifting for Strip Malls
Concrete lifting can be a smart option when the existing concrete is still in good enough condition to save. Instead of tearing out slabs and disrupting tenants, customers, and parking areas, lifting raises the existing concrete back toward a safer position.
Benefits include:
- Helps reduce trip hazards for customers and tenants
- Costs less than full concrete replacement in many cases
- Helps improve safety around storefronts and walkways
- Can reduce water pooling near entrances
- Helps stabilize voids under concrete slabs
- Limits disruption compared to demolition and replacement
- Helps keep businesses, sidewalks, and access areas usable
- Can often be completed faster than pouring new concrete
- Helps improve the appearance of commercial walkways
- Depending on the lifting method, many areas can be ready to use much sooner than new concrete
For related repairs, you may also want to review our concrete crack repair and joint sealing / caulking services.
