Concrete Leveling
Eliminate trip hazards with fast and effective concrete lifting services.
Why Concrete Leveling Matters
When your concrete slabs sink or settle, they create uneven surfaces that are more than just an eyesore. Those sunken areas become serious trip hazards for your family and visitors. Water pools in low spots, which can lead to more damage over time. If you are thinking about selling your home, uneven concrete can hurt your property value and turn away potential buyers.
The good news is that you do not always need to replace your concrete. Concrete leveling, also called mudjacking or slabjacking, lifts and stabilizes sunken slabs to their original position. This process is faster and costs less than tearing out and replacing the entire surface. You get your property back to safe, level condition without the hassle of a full replacement project.
In Mesquite, our dry climate and soil conditions can cause concrete to settle unevenly over time. Whether it is your driveway, patio, sidewalk, or garage floor, we have the equipment and expertise to level it properly. Our team has handled hundreds of leveling projects across the area, and we know exactly how to restore your concrete surfaces quickly and effectively.
What Causes Concrete to Sink?
Concrete does not just sink on its own. Several factors work together to create the settling you see. Understanding why it happens helps you know when to take action before the problem gets worse.
Common Causes of Settling
- •Soil erosion: Water washes away soil under your concrete, leaving empty spaces that cause the slab to drop
- •Poor compaction: If the soil was not properly compressed during installation, it settles over time under the weight of the concrete
- •Drainage issues: Water that does not drain properly softens the soil and causes it to shift
- •Tree roots: Growing roots can push or lift concrete in some areas while creating voids in others
- •Soil shrinkage: Clay-based soils expand when wet and shrink when dry, creating movement under your concrete
The key is to catch these problems early. Small dips and cracks today can turn into major hazards tomorrow. When you notice your concrete starting to settle, that is the time to call us. We will assess the situation and let you know if leveling is the right solution or if you need a different approach.
Many homeowners wait too long because they think the problem will stay small. But settlement tends to get worse, not better. The longer you wait, the more the concrete drops, and the more expensive the fix becomes. Getting it leveled now saves you money and keeps your property safe. Need help with concrete repair and replacement? We handle that too.
Our Concrete Leveling Process
We use proven techniques to lift your concrete back to where it should be. The process is straightforward, minimally invasive, and gets results fast. Here is what you can expect when you work with us.
Step-by-Step Leveling
First, we inspect the sunken areas and determine the best injection points. We drill small holes in the concrete slab, usually about the size of a quarter. Then we pump a specialized material underneath the slab. This material fills the voids and lifts the concrete back to its original level. Once the slab is raised, we seal the holes and clean up the work area.
The whole process typically takes just a few hours, depending on how much area needs leveling. You can usually walk on the surface right away, and it is fully cured within 24 hours. Compare that to full replacement, which can take days or weeks and leaves your property torn up during that time.
We have leveled driveways, patios, sidewalks, garage floors, and pool decks all over Mesquite. Each project is different, but the goal is always the same: restore your concrete to a safe, level condition without breaking the bank.
