Concrete Leveling

Concrete slabs sink when the soil underneath them shifts, washes away, or compacts over time. This happens naturally in Hobe Sound due to heavy rain, soil erosion, and ground settling. When your driveway, patio, or walkway starts to sink, you end up with uneven surfaces that look bad and create tripping hazards.

Most people think they need to tear out the old concrete and start over. That costs a fortune and takes weeks. Our concrete leveling service raises your existing slab back to its original height in just a few hours. We drill small holes, pump in a special mixture, and lift the concrete from underneath. It is faster, cheaper, and lasts just as long as new concrete.

The technical term is mudjacking or slabjacking. We inject a cement-based slurry or polyurethane foam under the slab. As the material fills the voids, it pushes the concrete up. Once it reaches the right level, we patch the small holes and you are done. Your concrete looks great and you saved 50 to 70 percent compared to replacement.

Here is how you know it is time to call us. Walk around your property and look for these warning signs:

• Visible gaps between the concrete and your home foundation
• Water pooling in spots where it used to drain properly
• Cracks running through your driveway or patio slabs
• Steps that feel uneven or slant to one side
• Concrete that has dropped more than one inch below the original level

If you see any of these issues, do not wait. The longer you leave sunken concrete, the worse it gets. Water seeps into the cracks and washes away more soil. What starts as a small problem turns into a major repair job. Catching it early saves you money and keeps your property safe.

Sunken concrete is more than just ugly. It creates trip hazards that can hurt someone. It also damages the structural integrity of nearby surfaces. When one section drops, it puts stress on the connected slabs. Fixing concrete problems early prevents bigger issues down the road.

We start every leveling job with a thorough inspection. Our team examines the sunken areas, checks for underlying soil problems, and measures how much lift you need. Then we explain exactly what we will do and give you a fair price upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees.

On the day of the job, we drill small holes in the sunken concrete. These holes are about the size of a penny. We insert hoses through the holes and pump in the leveling material. As the material fills the empty space, the slab slowly rises. We monitor the lift in real time to make sure it reaches the perfect height. Once the concrete is level, we remove the hoses and patch the holes with matching concrete. The patches blend in so well you barely notice them.

Most leveling jobs finish in one day. You can walk on the concrete right away. If we used polyurethane foam, you can even drive on it within 15 minutes. If we used cement-based slurry, we recommend waiting 24 hours before putting heavy weight on it. Either way, you get your space back fast. Compare that to driveway replacement, which takes a week or more and costs thousands extra.
