Understanding Concrete Leveling
Do you have uneven concrete surfaces, like a lopsided driveway or a bumpy sidewalk? This is often due to a sunken or uneven concrete slab.
Over time, concrete can sink or settle unevenly because of soil settlement, erosion, tree roots, drainage issues, or poor compaction during its initial installation. When the soil shifts beneath, so does your concrete. This not only looks bad and makes your property appear unkempt, but it also creates a serious safety hazard and liability issue.
Concrete leveling is a simple process to correct these defects in your existing concrete.
5 Signs You Need Concrete Leveling
Notice any of these on your property? It’s time to have Trusted Foundation Solutions assess your concrete.
1. Cracks:
Don’t ignore cracks, even small ones. They signal an underlying issue like tree roots or soil erosion. These cracks can widen and become safety hazards.
2. Separation:
Check your concrete joints. If there’s significant separation from your house, garage, or sidewalk, the problem needs quicker attention.
3. Pools of Water:
Water pooling, especially at the edges of slabs, indicates misalignment. Properly leveled concrete sheds water, it doesn’t hold it.
4. Damaged Edges:
Worn or crumbling edges on sidewalks or driveways often point to soil erosion beneath the concrete. This seemingly small issue can create tripping hazards.
5. Warping (Sinking Slabs):
If your concrete slabs are sinking in the middle or warping across the surface, it’s likely due to moisture problems in the soil underneath. This definitely requires concrete lifting.
How Does Concrete Lifting Work?
While it might seem simple, concrete leveling is a professional service. It’s not a DIY project and requires specialized equipment and materials.
Our process at Trusted Foundation Solutions includes three easy steps:
Step 1: Drill Small Holes
- We strategically drill small (1-2 inch) holes in the concrete where needed to raise and level the slab.
Step 2: Pump Leveling Compound
- We inject eco-rise polyurethane foam into the holes. This mixture fills any voids and gently lifts the concrete slab to its correct position. We carefully control the lift for a perfect result without disturbing surrounding areas.
Step 3: Patch the Drill Holes
- Once leveled, we fill the holes with color-matching grout. You’re left with a smooth, level concrete surface that’s even stronger than before!
5 Benefits of Concrete Leveling
Concrete leveling is an effective and efficient solution for uneven surfaces, offering several key benefits:
Minimum Damage:
Our process is minimally invasive, causing no significant damage to your existing concrete or surrounding landscaping. Far less destructive than full replacement!
Cheaper Than Replacement:
Concrete lifting lets you keep your existing concrete, saving you significant time and money compared to ripping it out and starting fresh.
Less Possibility for Injury:
Uneven concrete is a serious safety hazard. Leveling eliminates tripping risks, creating a safe environment for your family and guests.
Better Ground Support:
We fix the problem from the ground up, filling voids and creating a strong, solid base underneath your concrete that you can count on.
Quick Process:
Concrete leveling is typically a fast process, often completed in about a day. You can usually resume using the surface right away!
FAQs About Concrete Leveling

What is the best method of concrete leveling?
Modern methods like polyurethane foam injection or mudjacking are highly effective. Foam injections are lightweight, durable, and minimally invasive, making it one of the most popular solutions for long-lasting results.

DIY kits exist, but they rarely provide long-term results. Professional equipment ensures proper
lift, stability, and safety. For lasting repairs, hiring a professional concrete leveling contractor is usually the best choice.
When I have concrete lifted how long will it last
Concrete lifting done by a reputable contractor can last the lifetime of the concrete as long as the soil under the concrete remains stable.
