Concrete Leveling A Fast Non Invasive Way To Repair Sinking Concrete

Concrete Leveling is a practical, cost-effective way to lift sinking concrete slabs. Unlike concrete replacement, which can be expensive and time-consuming, concrete leveling involves injecting a high-density foam beneath the sunken slab to fill voids and raise it back up to its original position. It’s a great solution for sidewalks, driveways, patios, porches and pool decks.

Sunken or uneven concrete can be unsightly, but it is also a safety risk for family members and visitors to your home or business. If the concrete isn’t level, it could collapse under your weight, causing serious injury or damage. Concrete leveling is a fast, non-invasive repair method that is less costly than concrete replacement and can be completed within a day or two.

The process works by drilling holes into the affected area of the slab and pumping a polyurethane foam under the sunken concrete to fill voids and lift it. The concrete is then patched and cleaned. The concrete is usually dry and ready for use in just a few hours.

Experienced Concrete Levelers can repair many types of slabs, including basement floors, driveways and patios. It is particularly effective on sunken basement floors that have been caused by a sewer line break. Sewer breaks can wash away the dirt underneath a basement floor, leaving large voids that are impossible to correct with traditional methods such as mudjacking or concrete slab replacement.

There are several different concrete leveling methods, but the three most common include foam leveling (also known as polyjacking), mudjacking and stone slurry leveling. Mudjacking is an older technique that involves pumping a slurry of cement, water and sand under the slab to raise it. In contrast, poly leveling injects a non-shrink, high-density foam under the slab to fill voids and lift it.

Unlike mudjacking, which requires larger holes to be drilled into the slab in order to inject the material, PolyLevel uses small holes to inject the foam and is more efficient and cost-effective than other methods of lifting sunken concrete. It is also environmentally friendly and carries a lifetime warranty.

A-1 Concrete Leveling specializes in the use of the patented PolyLevel system, which is available exclusively through a network of trained concrete lifting and leveling contractors, each locally-owned and operated across the country. This system is significantly faster, more affordable and better for the environment than traditional mudjacking.
