Sunken sections

Vertical differences at joints between panels.
Options
Grinding small offsets
Small vertical differences at joints can sometimes be ground down.
Slab lifting

Replacement
When the slab is cracked, the base has failed or movement is ongoing, replacement usually delivers a better long-term result.
