Concrete leveling in Arlington, TX

Flat Concrete, Without Tearing Up the Yard

Lift it when you can. Replace it when you should.

Concrete leveling covers everything flat around the house. Some of it comes back up with a lift, some of it is past that point, and knowing the difference saves people real money.

How concrete leveling works

Two Honest Options

A trip hazard is a safety problem before it is a curb appeal problem.

If the slab is sound and has simply dropped, we raise it by filling the void underneath and bringing it back to grade. That is the fast, lower cost path and it works on most driveways, walks, and patios.

If the concrete is spidered with cracks, spalling, or broken into pieces that will not move as one, lifting it just relocates the problem. In that case we break it out, fix the base, and pour new.

Either way we look at what caused the drop. Concrete that sank because a downspout has been washing out the base will sink again unless the water gets handled.

Our concrete leveling process

The Process

  1. 01

    Look underneath the problem

    We figure out why the base failed before we decide how to fix the top.

  2. 02

    Lift or replace

    You get both prices and a straight recommendation, not a default answer.

  3. 03

    Do the work

    Raise and patch, or break out, recompact the base, and pour new concrete.

  4. 04

    Handle the water

    If drainage caused it, we fix that too so you are not calling us again in two years.

Concrete leveling cost

What Drives the Cost

Lifting is priced by area and how much void has to be filled. Replacement is priced by square footage, thickness, and how much demo and haul-off the job takes.

Replacement costs more up front. On badly broken concrete it is the cheaper answer over five years.

Concrete leveling questions

Straight Answers

If your question is not here, call and ask. You get a person who has been under houses, not a script.

Should I lift or replace?

If the slab is in one piece and structurally sound, lift it. If it is cracked through in multiple directions or crumbling at the surface, replace it. We will show you which one you have.

Will the patched holes be obvious?

They are visible up close on a lift, similar to any core patch. On a driveway from the street you generally will not pick them out.

Do you do decorative or stamped work?

We focus on functional flatwork and repair. Tell us what you are after and we will be honest about whether it is in our lane.

Does sunken concrete mean my foundation is failing?

Usually not. Flatwork has no footing under it. It moves on its own schedule. We check the house anyway so you know for sure.
