Slabjacking

Also known as concrete-lifting, the method entails drilling a pattern of holes in the area being repaired, followed by pouring a synthetic lifting solution into the holes with special tools which then lifts the area making it easy to patch the area with concrete. The method is relatively cheap and quick and has an advantage as it can also be used to repair patios and driveways, as well as other areas that utilize concrete slabs in their construction.
