Old North Knoxville is one of the city's most beloved historic neighborhoods — and one with some of the oldest sidewalks anywhere in town. Knoxville Concrete Lifting specializes in raising original 1900s–1920s concrete without damaging it.
Why Concrete Sinks in Old North Knoxville
Old North's century-old sidewalks have been lifted by 50+ years of tree growth and dropped by clay settlement. Polyurethane foam is ideal because it's gentle enough to lift thin, aged concrete that mudjacking pressures could crack.
Common Concrete Problems in Old North Knoxville
Homeowners in Old North Knoxville, TN often find us by searching for the symptom, not the solution. They type things like "sinking driveway near me," "uneven sidewalk repair," or "patio pooling water." If any of these sound familiar, your concrete is likely settling — and polyurethane lifting is probably the fix.
- sunken driveway aprons that drop toward the garage
- uneven sidewalk slabs that create trip hazards
- patios and pool decks that pitch the wrong way and pool water

- concrete steps that pull away from the porch
Old North Knoxville sits on the same challenging mix of expansive red clay and karst-influenced limestone that affects all of Knoxville. That means settlement can appear suddenly after a wet winter or a period of drought, often taking homeowners by surprise.
The good news is that most of these issues can be fixed in a single visit. We lift the settled slab, fill the voids beneath it, and patch the injection holes — all without tearing out your concrete. Most jobs are done in 1–4 hours and are ready for normal use the same day.
