Concrete Leveling

Why Concrete Leveling Makes Sense for Your Property

When you notice your driveway, walkway, or patio has sunken or become uneven, you might think replacement is your only option. But here's the good news: concrete leveling offers a faster, more affordable solution that can save you thousands of dollars. At Absolute Ashby Concrete, we use proven leveling techniques to lift and stabilize your existing concrete, eliminating trip hazards and restoring a level surface.

Concrete leveling works by filling the voids underneath your slab that caused it to settle. We inject a specialized material beneath the concrete, which expands and lifts the slab back to its original position. This process is much quicker than tearing out and replacing concrete, and it uses your existing slab, which means less waste and disruption to your property. Most jobs are completed in just a few hours, and you can use the surface almost immediately.

Your Ashby, MA property deserves safe, level surfaces. Sunken concrete not only creates tripping hazards but can also cause water pooling, drainage issues, and further structural problems if left unaddressed. Leveling your concrete now prevents bigger, more expensive problems down the road while restoring both safety and curb appeal to your property.

The Concrete Leveling Process

Understanding how concrete leveling works helps you see why it's such an effective solution. Here's what happens when we level your concrete:

First, we drill small holes in the settled concrete slab. These holes are typically about the size of a penny and are strategically placed to provide optimal lifting. Then we inject our leveling material through these holes. The material flows into the voids beneath the slab and expands, creating pressure that lifts the concrete. We carefully monitor the lifting process to ensure the slab reaches the correct height and remains stable.

Once the concrete is level, we seal the injection holes with concrete patch material that matches your existing surface. The leveling material cures quickly, usually within 15 minutes, which means your concrete is ready to use almost immediately. This quick turnaround is one of the biggest advantages of leveling compared to full concrete replacement, which requires days of curing time.

We use high-quality materials designed specifically for concrete leveling. These materials are strong, stable, and won't wash away or break down over time. The result is a permanent solution that addresses the root cause of your settling concrete and prevents future problems in the treated areas.
