Concrete Leveling

Why Concrete Sinks and How We Fix It

If you have concrete slabs that have settled and become uneven, you are not alone. This happens all over Santa Clara when the soil underneath shifts, compacts, or washes away. Maybe your driveway now has a dip near the garage, or your patio has a dangerous step where it used to be flat. These problems get worse over time, and they create trip hazards for your family and guests.

The good news is you do not need to rip out and replace the entire slab. Our concrete leveling experts in Santa Clara use modern techniques to lift and stabilize sunken concrete in just a few hours. This process is faster, cleaner, and much more affordable than demolition and replacement. We have helped hundreds of local property owners eliminate trip hazards and restore their concrete to safe, level conditions.

Concrete leveling makes sense when your slab is still in good shape but has just settled unevenly. We drill small holes, inject a lifting material underneath, and raise the concrete back to its original height. The result is a smooth, safe surface that looks great and performs like new.

Common Areas We Level

Sunken concrete shows up in different areas around your property, and each one creates its own set of problems. Here are the most common spots where we perform concrete leveling in Santa Clara:

• •Driveways: Sunken sections cause water pooling and make snow removal difficult
• •Sidewalks: Uneven walkways create dangerous trip hazards for pedestrians
• •Patios: Settled slabs tilt toward your home and cause water drainage issues
• •Pool Decks: Uneven surfaces around pools are safety hazards near water
• •Garage Floors: Sloped floors make it hard to park and can trap water inside

Each of these areas needs precise leveling to restore proper drainage, eliminate safety hazards, and improve curb appeal. We evaluate the cause of settlement, determine the best lifting method, and complete the work with minimal disruption to your property. Most leveling jobs take just a few hours from start to finish.

If you notice that water pools where it did not used to, or if you see gaps forming between your concrete and adjacent structures, that is a sign your concrete has settled. Call us before the problem gets worse. Early leveling prevents bigger, more expensive repairs down the road.

Our Concrete Leveling Process

How We Lift Your Sunken Concrete

We use a proven method called polyurethane foam injection, also known as polyjacking. This technique is fast, effective, and minimally invasive. Here is how it works when you hire our concrete repair team:

First, we drill penny-sized holes in the sunken slab at strategic locations. These holes are much smaller than traditional mudjacking holes, so they are less noticeable after we patch them. Next, we inject expanding polyurethane foam through the holes. The foam spreads underneath the slab, fills voids, and gently lifts the concrete back to the correct level. We monitor the lift in real time to ensure precision.

Once the slab reaches the proper height, the foam hardens within minutes. It creates a stable, waterproof base that will not wash away or compress like soil. We then patch the injection holes with color-matched concrete so they blend in with the rest of the surface. Your leveled concrete is ready to use almost immediately.

This process is cleaner and faster than tearing out and replacing concrete. There is no heavy equipment digging up your yard, no dump trucks hauling away debris, and no long curing times. You save time, money, and hassle while getting professional results that last for years.
