We Can Help

Uneven concrete can create safety risks and lower your property’s value. Over time, settling, erosion, or poor installation can cause driveways, sidewalks, and slabs to sink or shift.

Instead of the costly hassle of replacement, we use high-density polyurethane foam to lift and level concrete quickly and effectively. The process takes just a few hours, and in most cases, your surface is ready to use the same day.

This proven method works not only for sidewalks and driveways, but also for slab foundations, helping to stabilize and raise your home or other structures safely.

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.

Concrete Leveling FAQ’s

Is there self-leveling concrete?2025-08-22T15:15:00-04:00

Yes, there is self-leveling concrete available in the market. It is designed to level itself and create a smooth surface without the need for extensive manual leveling and finishing. While it may sound like a convenient option, as it reaches edges and gets thinner, it chips and falls quickly, making it not the best solution compared to raising concrete.

How long does polyurethane take to set?2025-07-07T12:17:05-04:00

The poly foam sets up at full strength within two hours of being injected. This means you can drive on your driveway, swim in your pool, walk on the sidewalk, or do any other of life’s activities right around the time our truck reaches the end of your street.

How long will my new leveled concrete last?2025-07-03T13:27:54-04:00

To ensure that your concrete leveling lasts as long as possible, it’s essential to work with a reputable and experienced professional company, use high-quality materials, and address any underlying issues contributing to the damage. We provide a company warranty on all repairs for five years, assuming there is no erosion present. The majority of our clients see their concrete last significantly longer.
