Concrete leveling in Dakota Dunes
Leveling and repair for homes in Dakota Dunes, in the far southeast corner of South Dakota.
Dakota Dunes is an unincorporated, master-planned community in Union County, South Dakota, about five miles west of downtown Sioux City. Plans for it were unveiled in 1988, and it has grown quickly: from 2,540 residents in 2010 to 4,020 in 2020. It sits on low ground between the Big Sioux and Missouri rivers, and historic flooding threatened the community in 2011 and again in 2019.
Newer homes, bigger slabs
Much of Dakota Dunes was built in the last few decades, so the typical problems are those of newer construction: backfill around foundations settling under patios, stoops and garage aprons, plus large patios and pool surrounds that can tip as the ground underneath compacts.
Check your builder's warranty
If your home is only a few years old, look at your builder's warranty before paying for a repair. Some early settling may be covered.
Rules to check
Because Dakota Dunes isn't an incorporated city, ask the community's management or Union County about any approval needed for work near streets and shared walks, and check whether your neighborhood has its own standards for exterior work.
