Concrete Leveling

Do not replace it when you can raise it. Fast, affordable leveling for sunken and uneven concrete.

Sunken Concrete? There Is a Better Fix Than Ripping It Out

You step outside and notice your sidewalk slab has dropped half an inch. Or your driveway has a lip where two sections no longer line up. Maybe your patio has settled on one side, creating an uneven surface that collects water. These are common problems, and most people assume the only solution is to tear out the old concrete and pour new. That is expensive, messy, and often unnecessary.

Concrete leveling raises sunken slabs back to their original position without removing them. The concrete itself is usually in perfectly good shape. The problem is the soil underneath. It has shifted, washed away, or compacted, leaving a void beneath the slab. Leveling fills that void and lifts the slab back into place, restoring a flat, safe surface at a fraction of the cost of replacement.

At Precision Martinez Concrete, we provide concrete leveling services throughout Martinez, GA for driveways, sidewalks, patios, garage floors, and pool decks. If the concrete is in good condition but just sitting at the wrong height, we can fix it. For surfaces with extensive cracking or structural damage, our concrete repair and replacement team can help with a full solution.

How Concrete Leveling Works

The process is straightforward, but it requires experience and the right equipment to get a good result. Here is what is involved:

Assessment of the area to determine the cause and extent of settlement
Small holes are drilled through the concrete slab at strategic locations
Material is pumped beneath the slab to fill voids and raise the concrete back to the correct level
Holes are patched and the surface is cleaned up, leaving a level, usable surface

The whole process usually takes just a few hours, and in many cases you can walk or drive on the surface the same day. Compare that to a full replacement, which takes days of demolition, hauling, forming, pouring, and curing. Leveling also works great for sidewalks and walkways where one slab has dropped and created a trip hazard.

Save Money Without Cutting Corners

Concrete leveling typically costs 50 to 70 percent less than tearing out and replacing the same area. You keep the existing concrete, avoid the cost of demolition and disposal, and skip the week-long wait for new concrete to cure. For a homeowner on a budget, leveling is often the smartest move you can make.

But it is not just about saving money. Leveling is also less disruptive to your property. There is no heavy equipment tearing up your driveway or yard. No dump trucks hauling out broken concrete. No forms sitting on your lawn for days. It is a clean, efficient process that gets the job done fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes concrete to sink?+

Concrete sinks when the soil beneath it settles, erodes, or compacts over time. The most common causes are poor soil compaction during original construction, water erosion washing away the supporting soil, soil shrinkage during dry periods, and heavy loads gradually compressing the base material underneath.

Is concrete leveling cheaper than replacement?+

Yes, concrete leveling typically costs 50 to 70 percent less than complete concrete replacement. The process is faster, causes less disruption to your property, and you can use the surface much sooner. Leveling works best when the concrete itself is in good structural condition but has simply settled unevenly.

How long does concrete leveling last?+

When done correctly, concrete leveling can last 8 to 15 years or more depending on the underlying soil conditions and drainage around the slab. Addressing the root cause of settlement, such as improving drainage or soil compaction, helps ensure long-lasting results and prevents the slab from sinking again.
