Concrete Leveling Services Available in Atlanta, GA & the Surrounding Areas
Concrete leveling, or concrete lifting, is a geotechnical service used to correct uneven concrete surfaces. This repair method is popular throughout Atlanta, Georgia, and the surrounding Piedmont region due to the weak, unpacked soils typically found in the area. These soils can shift or fall, causing concrete slabs to suddenly sink. When slabs drop, they can create a tripping hazard that is a danger to employees, construction workers, or anyone else who happens to come in contact with the uneven surface.

Methods of Concrete Leveling
There are a few techniques commonly used to lift a sunken concrete slab. The first is a process known by various names, including pressure grouting, compaction grouting, permeation grouting, or mudjacking. In this method of concrete leveling, several strategically placed holes are drilled into the sunken concrete slab. An injection pipe is then placed into each hole and a mud-like grout is pumped through the pipe and into the underlying void. This process is repeated until the concrete slab is raised back up to a level position, and it’s responsible for the technique’s “mudjacking” moniker: The mud-like grout lifts the slab up much like a jack lifts up a car.
Another common method of concrete leveling is called a poly-lift system. In this method, expanding polyurethane foam is used instead of mud-like grout. This method is often preferred because the polyurethane foam cures faster than the grout.
When leveling a sunken concrete slab, mudjacking or poly-lift systems are often preferred over pouring a new concrete slab because, unless the underlying void is filled in and a new, solid substrate is created, the new concrete slab will more than likely sink over time just as the old one did. However, depending on the condition of the sunken concrete, we may recommend mudjacking or a poly-lift system in addition to pouring a new concrete slab.
