Concrete Leveling
Fast and affordable concrete lifting solutions that eliminate trip hazards and restore your surfaces.
Why Concrete Leveling Matters
Uneven concrete is more than just an eyesore. It creates serious safety risks for your family and guests. Sunken driveways, tilted sidewalks, and uneven patios cause trips and falls that can lead to injuries. If you have children, elderly family members, or simply value safety around your Apex, NC home, addressing these issues quickly is important.
Beyond safety, uneven concrete affects your property value. Potential buyers notice cracked and sunken slabs immediately. These issues suggest neglect and raise concerns about other problems. By leveling your concrete now, you protect your investment and maintain your curb appeal.
Water pooling is another hidden problem. When concrete settles unevenly, water collects in low spots instead of draining away. Over time, this standing water seeps into the soil beneath your foundation, creating erosion and more settling. What starts as a small dip becomes a bigger structural problem if left untreated.
How Concrete Leveling Works
We use a process called mudjacking or slabjacking to raise your concrete back to its original position. Here's how it works: we drill small holes in the sunken slab, then pump a specialized mixture underneath. This mixture fills the voids that caused the settling and gently lifts the concrete back into place.
The Process Step by Step
- 1.We inspect the area and identify exactly which sections need lifting and by how much
- 2.Small holes are drilled strategically in the sunken concrete (about the size of a quarter)
- 3.We pump the leveling material underneath until the slab reaches the correct height
- 4.The holes are patched and sealed, leaving your concrete smooth and level
- 5.You can use the area immediately, no waiting for curing or drying
The entire process typically takes just a few hours, depending on the size of the area. Most residential projects are completed in a single day. You don't need to worry about major construction mess or long wait times. We work efficiently and clean up thoroughly when we're done.
Why Leveling Beats Replacement
Many homeowners assume they need to tear out and replace sunken concrete. That's expensive and disruptive. Concrete leveling costs a fraction of the price while achieving the same result. You keep your existing concrete, which often has years of life left in it.
Replacement means breaking up your old concrete, hauling it away, preparing the base, pouring new concrete, and waiting days for it to cure. That's noisy, messy, and keeps you from using the area for at least a week. With leveling instead of replacement, you avoid all that hassle.
Environmental impact matters too. When we level your concrete, we're reusing what's already there instead of sending tons of material to the landfill. You get a solution that's better for your wallet and better for the planet.
