Concrete Leveling

Sunken Concrete Is More Than an Eyesore

That dip in your driveway or the raised edge on your sidewalk isn't just ugly. It's a trip hazard waiting to happen. Sunken concrete creates puddles that freeze in winter, channels water toward your foundation, and makes your property look neglected. The good news is that you probably don't need to tear it all out and start over.

At Winder Concrete Professional, we use modern foam injection technology to lift sunken concrete back to where it belongs. The process is fast, clean, and costs a fraction of what full replacement would run you. Most jobs are done in a matter of hours, and you can use your concrete the same day.

How Concrete Leveling Works

The process is straightforward, but it requires experience and the right equipment to do correctly. Here's how we bring your sunken concrete back to level:

• We drill small, penny-sized holes in the sunken slab at strategic points
• High-density polyurethane foam is injected through the holes
• The foam expands underneath, filling voids and lifting the slab
• We monitor the lift in real time using laser levels for precision
• Once level, the foam hardens in minutes and supports the slab permanently
• Drill holes are patched with matching concrete for a clean finish

The polyurethane foam we use is lightweight, waterproof, and won't wash away or compress over time. Unlike older mudjacking methods that use heavy cement slurry, our foam adds minimal weight to the soil underneath, which means less chance of future settling.

What Can Be Leveled?

Concrete leveling works on most flat concrete surfaces that are structurally sound but have simply sunk. Sunken driveway sections are one of our most common jobs. Sidewalk panels that have tipped or sunk are another frequent call. We also level patio slabs, garage floors, pool decks, and porch areas.

The concrete itself needs to be in decent shape for leveling to make sense. If your slab has major structural cracks, is crumbling, or has broken into multiple pieces, repair or replacement may be the better option. We always give you an honest assessment. If leveling won't solve the problem, we'll tell you that upfront rather than do work that won't last.

Save Money Without Sacrificing Quality

Here's what makes leveling such a smart choice: it typically costs 50 to 70 percent less than full replacement. Think about what's involved in replacing a section of driveway or sidewalk. You need demolition, hauling away the old concrete, base preparation, new forms, a fresh pour, and then days of curing time before you can use it. Leveling skips all of that.

There's also the disruption factor. Replacement projects take days or even weeks. Your driveway is blocked, your yard gets torn up, and there's noise and mess throughout the process. With leveling, our crew shows up, gets your concrete back to level in a few hours, patches the small drill holes, and you're done. Your concrete is ready to use immediately. No curing time, no barriers, no waiting.
