We Can Help

When it comes to maintaining a safe and functional property, having a level concrete surface is essential. However, due to factors such as settling, erosion, and improper installation, concrete surfaces can become uneven, posing a hazard to those who use them.

This is a process that restores the levelness of concrete surfaces without the need for costly and time-consuming replacements. It has become a popular solution for both residential and commercial property owners looking to improve the safety and appearance of their concrete surfaces.

Signs you need concrete leveling

If you’re considering concrete leveling on your property, knowing what signs to look for is important. Check for these common indicators that tell you it might be time to call a professional foundation repair company for concrete leveling on your driveway, patio, sidewalk, or garage.

Not all cracks are cause for concern, but if you have a crack that is widening, that is something you want to pay attention to.

Wide cracks in the concrete can be an indication that the surface has shifted or settled. If left unaddressed, those cracks can worsen and cause more significant damage and pose a safety hazard.

Separation occurs in jointed areas, such as where your driveway connects to the house or where the sidewalk joins a fence or gate. Inspect these areas to see if it appears the concrete is uneven or pulling away.

If you notice water pooling in certain areas of your driveway, that means that the surface has become uneven. Water pooling can also lead to erosion and is a breeding ground for insects.

If the edges of your driveway are starting to sink, it may be a sign that the sub-base has become compromised. This can cause the entire driveway to become uneven over time.

Moisture beneath the slab can cause it to sink in the middle. This causes a warping, or ripple, across the surface of the concrete.

If you notice that your concrete doesn’t feel flat, it’s time to call in an expert.

Benefits of concrete leveling

If you’re considering concrete leveling on your property, knowing what signs to look for is important. Check for these common indicators that tell you it might be time to call a professional foundation repair company for concrete leveling on your driveway, patio, sidewalk, or garage.

The job is done without any significant damage to its surroundings. You don’t have to worry about destroying your lawn or garden to repair your concrete.

This is a cost-effective alternative to replacing a damaged or uneven concrete surface. The process is typically less expensive than a full replacement and can help extend the life of the surface.

Uneven concrete surfaces can create safety hazards, such as tripping or falling. Concrete leveling helps to restore the levelness of the surface and eliminate these hazards, making it safer for those who use it.

This works by using the hydraulic pressure of the injected material to lift the concrete surface. The material expands as it cures and forms a strong and solid base.

Concrete leveling doesn’t take as much time as replacing your concrete. The process is over as fast as the injections take, and your surface is ready to use again within an hour or two of completion.

The Steps of concrete leveling

The first step of our concrete leveling service is assessing your property. Our knowledgeable technician will examine the surface of your concrete and determine the best course of action.

Once we are ready to start, concrete leveling can be done in three easy steps.

Step 1 – Drill Holes

Small holes are drilled into the affected area of the concrete surface. These holes allow the injection material to be inserted beneath the surface.

Step 2 – Pump Leveling Compound

A rapidly expanding high-density polyurethane foam is injected through the drilled holes using hydraulic pressure. This material fills any voids beneath the concrete surface and raises it back to its original position.

Step 3 – Patch the Drill Holes

Once the concrete surface has been leveled, the drilled holes are patched with a cement-based material or epoxy that matches the color of the surrounding concrete.
