Show the whole slab boundary
Include a wide view and identify which panels have moved relative to the garage or adjacent concrete. Give approximate dimensions and mention access for vehicles and equipment.
Ask what lifting can accomplish
Have the provider explain which panels are suitable and what result it will agree to. State drainage concerns separately; lifting one edge does not automatically define a complete drainage remedy.
Compare repair limits
Record included panels, hole patching, joints, cracks and limitations. If replacement is recommended for some areas, keep that separate from the lifting allowance.

Questions about this request
Can every cracked slab be lifted?
Suitability needs assessment. Ask the provider what findings support lifting or replacement for each panel.
Is drainage correction included?
State the water problem and require the proposed outcome to be written down. A leveling total alone does not establish it.
