Concrete Leveling in Nashville and Middle Tennessee
Concrete Leveling and Lifting

Concrete Leveling

Sunken driveways, sidewalks, patios and floors are lifted back to level without tearing out the concrete.

Concrete rarely fails by breaking. More often the ground beneath it fails: soil washes out, settles or compresses, and a perfectly good slab drops and tilts. The surface may still be sound, but a raised edge becomes a trip hazard, water runs the wrong way and the whole area looks neglected. Replacing the slab is costly and messy, and it does not fix the soil that caused the problem.

Concrete leveling lifts the slab itself. We drill small holes, inject a material under the slab that fills the void and raises it to the right height, patch the holes and let it cure. Polyurethane foam is light, cures in minutes and is a good fit for most jobs. Cement grout, known as mudjacking, is heavier and well suited to thick slabs. We choose the method that fits the weight, the soil and your plans for the surface.

Why slabs sink

Washed-out soil, poor compaction, leaking downspouts and roots take support from under concrete, so it settles and tilts.

Foam or grout

Foam is light and cures in minutes. Grout is heavier and fills larger voids. We match the material to the job.

Small holes

Injection ports are about the size of a quarter for foam, and slightly larger for grout, and they are patched when we finish.

Fix the cause

We look at drainage, because lifting without correcting water will just let the slab sink again.

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Call and schedule

    You tell us what you have noticed, a crack, a damp smell, a sloping floor or standing water, and we set a visit that fits your day.

  2. 02

    Inspect and listen

    We look closely inside and out, measure floors and cracks, check moisture and drainage and take photos of anything of note.

  3. 03

    Plan and explain

    We explain what is urgent, what can wait and what is optional, and give you a written scope and options.

  4. 04

    Prepare and protect

    We lay floor protection, mark utilities, protect landscaping and set up before any digging or drilling begins.

  5. 05

    Do the work

    We install, seal, lift or repair with the right tools and materials, checking our work as we go.

  6. 06

    Finish and walk through

    We clean up, restore the surface, show you what we did, share care tips and set a reminder for your next check.

Questions

Concrete Leveling FAQ

Can concrete really be lifted?

Yes. Material injected under the slab fills the void and raises the slab to level.

Is leveling better than replacing?

Often it is quicker, cleaner and costs less, as long as the concrete itself is sound.

How long before I can use it?

Foam cures in minutes. Grout takes a little longer. Most surfaces are usable the same day.

Will it sink again?

If the cause is fixed and the fill is compact, it should stay. Drainage is key.

What if the slab is cracked?

Cracks can be sealed. If the slab is broken up, replacement may be better.
