The Four Photos To Send
You do not need perfect photos. You need photos that answer the obvious questions before a contractor asks them.
- Wide photo: show the whole driveway, sidewalk, patio, step, or garage approach.
- Close photo: show the highest edge, lowest edge, crack, gap, or lip.
- Measurement photo: place a ruler, tape, or level near the drop so scale is obvious.
- Drainage photo: show where water runs, pools, or moves toward the home after rain.
Photo Guide: What Good Submission Photos Look Like
Here is a clear visual reference for the four most useful photos contractors want to see for a concrete leveling or mudjacking quote in the Omaha area.
Build Your Photo Checklist
Upload or take the photos that fit your slab, then add the summary to the quote request so the project details are ready before you send it.

How To Show Scale
A photo with no reference point is hard to price from. Add a common object or measuring tool so the height change is obvious.
- Place a tape measure vertically at the highest edge.
- Lay a level or straight board across the high and low sides.
- Show the gap at the garage, step, porch, or foundation.
- Take one photo from standing height so the whole surface is visible.
- Mention whether vehicles, walkers, wheelchairs, strollers, or snow shovels use the area.
Show What Might Change The Repair
Do not crop out the inconvenient parts. Cracks, water, tight access, landscaping, and nearby steps often decide which repair method fits.
| Detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Cracks and crumbling edges | They help a contractor decide whether lifting, sealing, grinding, or replacement is more realistic. |
| Water flow after rain | Drainage can keep undermining a slab if it is not addressed. |
| Garage, porch, or step connections | Attached surfaces may need a more careful review before lifting. |
| Access from the street or driveway | Equipment, hose length, parking, and cleanup can affect the job. |
| Nearby uneven slabs | Combining small areas may make a minimum service charge easier to justify. |
Copy This Into The Request
A short, specific note is better than a long story. Contractors need the surface, city, drop, drainage, and timing.
After Photos, Pick The Right Guide
Use the next page based on the question you are trying to answer.
Is my sunken concrete serious?
Use a practical severity checklist for trip hazards, drainage, step gaps, and garage lips.
Compare repair methodsCompare mudjacking, foam lifting, replacement, grinding, sealing, and drainage corrections.
Questions to ask a contractorAsk about method fit, drainage, minimum charges, access, cleanup, and what is not included.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need professional photos for a concrete leveling quote?
No. Phone photos are enough if they show the full slab, the exact edge or gap, a measurement, and where water goes after rain.
Should I upload every photo I have?
Send the clearest photos that explain the project. A few useful photos are better than many duplicates. Include access photos if gates, landscaping, slope, or parking could affect the job.
What if I cannot measure the drop exactly?
Use a ruler, tape, level, straight board, or common object for scale. Even an approximate measurement helps a contractor decide whether the request is worth a closer look.
How Omaha Slab Repair works
We are a transparent quote-connection guide, not a concrete contractor. Homeowners submit details (surface, location, photos, drainage notes) so available local or regional leveling contractors can respond with useful next steps. We do not perform repairs or guarantee outcomes.
This model keeps the information neutral and helps you get better quotes by sending contractors the details they actually need.
