What is Concrete Leveling?
Concrete leveling is an innovative method for repairing cracked or uneven concrete slabs without the need for tearing out the concrete and pouring a new slab. Sinking, cracked, or uneven concrete is a common issue for driveways, patios, and pool decks, which can lead to unsafe walking conditions and reduced property value. At American Foundation & Waterproofing, our Rockford, TN concrete leveling and lifting services can permanently repair damaged or sunken concrete without a full replacement. We use the PolyLevel® system to lift and stabilize slabs quickly, restoring safety and appearance without the cost, time, or mess of replacing the concrete.
Should I Repair or Replace My Concrete?
Two notable advantages of concrete are that it is extremely durable and it becomes even stronger over time. So concrete repair is a smart choice over replacement, especially with our proven lifting and leveling method. The process fills voids beneath the surface and lifts slabs evenly, correcting cracks and settling issues while avoiding the expense of new concrete installation.
For situations where damage is too severe, such as missing sections or structural failure, replacement may be the only option. But in most cases, concrete lifting and leveling provides a more cost-effective, long-lasting solution that improves safety and enhances the curb appeal of your property.
Our Concrete Leveling Process
Uneven slabs and shifting foundations can be a major headache. Our Rockford, TN concrete leveling experts have developed a streamlined process that corrects these issues quickly and effectively. With results that are clean, accurate, and typically completed in one day, we make repairs stress-free. Here’s a breakdown of our straightforward four-step approach:
Step 1: Drilling Injection Holes
To correct sunken concrete, we start by drilling small, dime-sized openings in the slab. These access points allow us to inject PolyLevel in Rockford, Tennessee foundations and other concrete slabs. PolyLevel is an advanced polyurethane foam that expands beneath the surface, fills empty spaces, and raises the slab back into place. This concrete leveling method is fast, precise, and causes little disruption to your property.
Step 2: Insert Ports
Next, specialized ports are placed into the drilled holes, connecting our equipment directly to the slab for accurate foam injection.
Step 3: Inject PolyLevel®
Through the ports, polyurethane foam is injected under the slab. Its lightweight design prevents added soil pressure while expanding and solidifying to lift the concrete with remarkable accuracy.
Step 4: Remove Ports and Patch Holes
After the slab is restored, we remove the ports and fill the openings with fresh concrete for a smooth, seamless finish. PolyLevel sets in just 15 minutes, creating a durable base strong enough to handle heavy traffic and vehicles and delivering long-lasting results.
