Concrete Leveling
Fix sunken, uneven concrete surfaces quickly and affordably without replacement.
Got concrete that is not level anymore? You are not alone. Sunken driveways, uneven sidewalks, and tilted patio slabs are common problems in Weston. The good news is you do not need to tear everything out and start over. Our professional concrete leveling services can raise and level your existing concrete in just a few hours.
Concrete leveling (also called slab jacking or mud jacking) is a proven technique that lifts sunken concrete back to its original position. We drill small holes, inject a special material underneath, and the slab rises back up. It is faster, cheaper, and less messy than replacement. Plus, you can use your concrete the same day.
Why Concrete Sinks and Settles
Concrete does not sink on its own. The problem is what is happening underneath. When soil shifts, washes away, or compacts over time, it creates empty spaces below your slab. Without solid support, gravity takes over and your concrete drops.
Here in Weston, FL, we see this happen for several reasons:
- Soil erosion: Heavy rain and poor drainage wash away the soil base
- Poor compaction: If the ground was not packed properly during installation, it settles later
- Tree roots: Large roots can shift or lift sections of concrete
- Plumbing leaks: Underground water leaks erode soil and create voids
- Natural settling: New construction areas often experience ground settling in the first few years
The sooner you address sunken concrete, the easier and less expensive the fix. Small problems today can turn into major issues tomorrow.
The Benefits of Leveling vs. Replacement
When you discover uneven concrete, your first thought might be to replace it. But replacement is not always necessary or smart. Concrete leveling offers major advantages that make it the better choice for most situations.
Cost Savings
Leveling typically costs 50 to 70 percent less than full replacement. You save money on demolition, disposal, materials, and labor. The existing concrete is still structurally sound, so why pay to rip it out?
Speed and Convenience
We can level most slabs in just a few hours. The area is ready to use the same day. Compare that to replacement, which takes several days and requires you to stay off the new concrete for at least a week while it cures.
Less Disruption
Leveling is minimally invasive. We drill small holes (about the size of a penny), pump in the lifting material, and patch the holes. No jackhammers, no big trucks hauling away debris, and no mess to clean up afterward.
How Our Concrete Leveling Process Works
Our leveling process is straightforward and proven effective. Here is what happens when we come to your property:
First, we assess the sunken areas and measure how much lift is needed. We look for underlying issues like drainage problems or soil erosion that caused the sinking in the first place. Fixing those issues now prevents future settling.
Next, we drill small holes through the concrete slab in strategic locations. These holes are about one inch in diameter and spaced evenly across the sunken section.
Then comes the lifting. We pump a specialized material (either polyurethane foam or a cement-based slurry) through the holes and underneath the slab. The material expands and fills the voids, pushing the concrete back up to the correct level. We monitor the lift in real time and adjust as needed to achieve perfect results.
Finally, we patch the drill holes with fresh concrete that matches your existing surface. Within minutes, you can walk on it. Within hours, you can drive on it. The repair is permanent and designed to last for decades.
We also provide sidewalk and walkway leveling services to eliminate trip hazards and improve curb appeal.
