Concrete Leveling
Fix sunken concrete slabs quickly and affordably without complete replacement.
Why Level Instead of Replace
Sunken concrete creates trip hazards, drainage problems, and an unsightly appearance. Many homeowners assume they need complete replacement, but concrete leveling offers a faster, more affordable solution. If the concrete itself is in good condition without extensive cracking or deterioration, leveling can restore it to proper height and slope at a fraction of replacement cost.
The leveling process typically takes just a few hours compared to several days for replacement. You can use the repaired area almost immediately instead of waiting for new concrete to cure. Leveling also avoids the mess and disruption of demolition and removal. Your existing concrete driveway, sidewalk, or patio gets raised back to its original level without the expense and hassle of starting over.
Environmental benefits matter too. Leveling reuses existing concrete instead of sending it to a landfill and manufacturing new material. This reduces waste and carbon emissions associated with concrete production. Your wallet and the environment both benefit when you choose leveling over unnecessary replacement.
Our Concrete Leveling Process
We use modern mudjacking and polyurethane foam injection methods to lift sunken slabs. Both techniques work by filling voids under the concrete and applying pressure to raise it. Mudjacking pumps a cement-based slurry through holes drilled in the slab. The material flows underneath, fills empty spaces, and lifts the concrete as it expands. This proven method has been used successfully for decades.
Leveling Steps We Follow
- Thorough inspection to assess feasibility and extent of settling
- Strategic hole drilling in inconspicuous locations
- Controlled material injection to gradually lift the slab
- Precise monitoring to achieve proper elevation
- Hole patching to restore surface appearance
- Final inspection and cleanup
Polyurethane foam injection offers advantages for certain applications. The lightweight foam expands rapidly to fill voids and lift slabs with minimal weight added to the soil. Smaller injection holes mean less visible patching. The foam cures in minutes so you can use the surface right away. We evaluate your specific situation and recommend the best leveling method for lasting results.
Common Applications for Leveling
Driveways often settle near the garage where vehicles repeatedly load the edge. This creates a bump you feel every time you drive in or out. Leveling eliminates that annoying transition and prevents water from pooling against your foundation. It also removes trip hazards at the garage threshold where people walk frequently.
Sidewalks and walkways develop trip hazards when sections settle unevenly. Even small height differences can catch toes and cause falls. This presents serious liability concerns for property owners. Leveling restores smooth transitions between sections and eliminates dangerous lips that threaten safety.
Patios that slope toward the house instead of away cause water to flow against your foundation. This leads to moisture problems in basements or crawl spaces. Leveling corrects the slope so water drains properly away from the structure. Pool decks also benefit from leveling to maintain proper drainage and eliminate uneven surfaces around the pool perimeter.
