Concrete leveling in Evansdale, Iowa
Slab lifting for Evansdale, the small city along the Cedar River just past Waterloo's east limits.
Evansdale adjoins Waterloo's east city limits and had 4,561 residents at the 2020 census. It came together in 1947, when people in the Home Acres and River Forest areas organized over a shared drainage problem and then incorporated, naming the town for Judge William T. Evans.
Why drainage is the first question here
A town founded around a drainage problem is a good reminder of what moves concrete. Evansdale borders the Cedar River, and some lots sit on lower ground. When water has nowhere to go, it soaks the soil under walks and slabs, freezes, and leaves voids behind. A contractor who lifts a slab in Evansdale should also look at where the downspouts, sump line and yard grade send water.
Common Evansdale jobs
- Stoops and porches that sank on soft ground
- Driveways with low spots that ice over
- Back patios cracked into tilted pieces

Will lifting fix a slab that floods every spring?
Lifting fixes the height. If water keeps pooling there, the drainage needs attention too, or the slab can settle again.
