In this Blog entry, the professional Atlanta concrete driveway installation and Atlanta concrete driveway repair team here at Atlanta Concrete will describe the definition and process of our professional concrete leveling service.
What exactly is concrete leveling?
Concrete leveling is a special process that fills voids under sinking concrete slabs, repositioning them to be evenly balanced. It can lift concrete in sidewalks, driveways, pool decks, porches, patios, and much more.
What are some of the signs that my concrete needs leveling service?
- Cracking on concrete driveways
- Misaligned concrete porches for decks that seem to be moving away from your home
- Warping hardwood floors
- Cracking tile floors within your property
What does the concrete leveling process involve?
- First, holes are drilled into the concrete slabs
- Then the delivery mechanism port is installed in these holes, and will be used to transfer shelving material to the voids under the concrete slabs
- The lifting or leveling material is then pumped through the holes to fill it slowly in order to carefully monitor the vertical movement to ensure perfect leveling
- After the patches are elevated enough, the holes will be patched
The concrete lifting and leveling process is very affordable and straightforward. It allows you to avoid needing complete concrete driveway replacement service. The concrete leveling service process can be completed in under a day. Our team might use mudjacking, a special process that uses a mixture of soil, cement, water, or sand to lift a concrete slab from below – or polyjacking, a repair method that uses high-pressure and expandable polyurethane foam to push concrete slabs back into place.
