Concrete Leveling
Is the foundation of your home settling? Are parts of your concrete driveway, walkway or patio sinking, causing an uneven surface and a tripping hazard?
Concrete Leveling is the process of hydraulically lifting an existing slab of concrete back into its original position.
"Houston Concrete Company"'s technicians have been trained how to raise concrete slabs that have settled.
There are many different reasons concrete floors can become unlevel or shift and become wavy. They can develop humps and spalling, becoming broken or pitted from cold weather conditions and other causes.
Saving the existing concrete is the most economical way to provide an even, safe surface. Leveling a concrete slab before it’s too damaged ensures that the existing concrete will be around for years to come. In addition to the lower cost, as compared to concrete replacement, there is minimal downtime associated with leveling the existing concrete.
Leveling concrete involves floating the slab upward in small increments, which allows a controlled lift, and provides the best protection for the concrete. Concrete leveling services are best performed by experienced professionals that understand the right mix of materials and equipment to use in order to protect the integrity of the concrete without any damage to nearby structures.
