Concrete Leveling
Fast and effective lifting services that eliminate trip hazards and restore your surfaces.
Fix Sunken Concrete Without Replacement
Sunken or uneven concrete slabs create dangerous trip hazards around your property. Maybe your driveway has settled near the garage, creating a lip that scrapes every time you pull in. Or your sidewalk has dropped in spots, making walking treacherous for kids and elderly visitors. These problems only get worse over time as water flows into the gaps and washes away more soil underneath.
The old solution was expensive and disruptive. Contractors would jackhammer out perfectly good concrete, haul it away, and pour new slabs. You lose your surface for days or weeks, deal with heavy equipment tearing up your yard, and pay thousands of dollars to replace concrete that only needed lifting. That approach wastes money and materials while creating a bigger mess than necessary.
Our concrete leveling service offers a smarter fix. We lift and stabilize your settled slabs in hours, not days, at a fraction of replacement cost. Small holes are drilled into the sunken concrete, and specialized material is injected underneath. As the material expands, it fills voids and lifts your slab back to its original level. The holes are patched, and you can use the surface the same day. This proven method works for driveways, sidewalks, patios, pool decks, and garage floors. It saves you money while eliminating trip hazards and improving drainage around your home.
Why Choose Leveling Over Replacement
When concrete settles or sinks, your first instinct might be to replace it completely. But replacement is expensive, time-consuming, and often unnecessary. Concrete leveling provides the same results for less money and less disruption. Here is why this method makes more sense for most situations.
Key Advantages of Concrete Leveling
- •Costs 50 to 70 Percent Less Than Replacement:
Leveling saves you thousands compared to tearing out and replacing concrete. You keep your existing slab and just fix the settling issue. The process is faster and requires less labor and materials, which translates directly to lower costs for you.
- •Completed in Hours Instead of Days:
Most leveling jobs finish in a single day. You can walk on the surface immediately and drive on it within 24 hours. Replacement means waiting a week or more before you can use your concrete again, plus days of noise and disruption from demolition.
- •No Messy Demolition or Disposal:
Leveling is clean and precise. We drill small holes, inject material, and patch the holes. No jackhammers, no dump trucks hauling away broken concrete, no damage to your landscaping from heavy equipment. Your yard stays intact.
- •Environmentally Friendly Solution:
By saving your existing concrete instead of replacing it, you reduce waste and avoid the environmental impact of manufacturing and transporting new concrete. It is the greener choice that still delivers excellent results.
- •Long-Lasting Stability:
The lifting material we use hardens into a stable base that supports your concrete for years. Unlike temporary fixes like mud jacking that can wash away, modern leveling materials provide permanent support. If your slabs need additional foundation work, we can also recommend concrete foundation solutions for more complex issues.
How the Leveling Process Works
Our concrete leveling process is straightforward and minimally invasive. We use proven techniques and quality materials to deliver results that last. Here is what happens when we level your concrete.
Step-by-Step Leveling Procedure
Assessment and Preparation: We start by evaluating your sunken concrete and identifying why it settled. Sometimes poor drainage causes soil erosion underneath. Other times the base was not compacted properly during original installation. Understanding the cause helps us provide the right solution. We explain what we find and give you a clear quote for the work needed.
Drilling Access Holes: We drill small holes (typically 1 to 2 inches diameter) through the sunken slab at strategic locations. The placement of these holes matters because it affects how evenly the slab lifts. Our experienced crew knows exactly where to drill for best results.
Injecting Lifting Material: Specialized polyurethane foam or grout mixture is injected through the holes. As the material flows underneath your concrete, it fills voids left by eroded soil. The material expands with controlled pressure, lifting your slab gradually back to the correct level. We monitor the lift carefully to ensure even results without over-lifting.
Finishing and Cleanup: Once your concrete reaches the desired level, we remove equipment and patch the access holes to match your existing surface. The patches cure quickly, and the whole area is ready for use. We clean up thoroughly, leaving your property neat and your concrete level and safe.
The entire process typically takes just a few hours for most residential jobs. You can walk on your leveled concrete immediately after we finish. Light vehicle traffic is usually fine within 24 hours, though we provide specific guidance based on your situation. If you also need repairs for cracks or damaged areas, we can handle that during the same visit to fully restore your concrete surfaces.
