Concrete slab lifting
Sunken slabs raised back to level from underneath, so the concrete you already own stays where it is.
Concrete levelling, Syracuse NY
Driveways, walkways, garage floors and steps raised from underneath, usually in a single visit, without tearing out the slab you already paid for.
About Salt City Concrete Leveling
Salt City Concrete Leveling lifts settled concrete back to level instead of tearing it out and pouring it again. Driveways, walkways, garage floors, patio slabs and steps, put back where they were.
The slab is not usually the problem. The ground under it is. Soil settles, water finds a route, and a void opens beneath concrete that is otherwise sound.
Lifting keeps the slab you already own, which is the cheaper and quicker of the two options and leaves nothing to haul away. Replacement is the right answer when a slab is genuinely broken up, and we will say so.
Services
Three kinds of work, all of them the same idea: fill what is missing under the slab and put the surface back where it started.
Sunken slabs raised back to level from underneath, so the concrete you already own stays where it is.
Driveways, front walks and garage aprons brought back into line, including the trip edges between slabs.
The washed-out ground beneath a slab filled and stabilised, which is the reason most concrete settles in the first place.
Settled.
A slab that has dropped at one edge collects water, catches a toe, and moves again next winter. The crack is the symptom. The gap underneath is the reason.
Central New York
Freeze and thaw is the local problem. Water gets under a slab, expands, and leaves a void behind when it goes. The same driveway settles a little further every year until something is done about it.
Call for a look
On site
Small ports are drilled through the slab, the void beneath is filled until the concrete returns to level, and the ports are patched.
Ask about your slabWe come out, measure the drop, and work out whether the slab is worth lifting or genuinely needs replacing.
One number for the work described. If we find something underneath that changes it, you hear before anything else happens.
Ports drilled, void filled, slab brought back to level, ports patched. Most jobs are one visit.
Send a photograph of the slab and where it has dropped. We will tell you either way.

What we work on
If it has dropped, cracked at a joint or opened a trip edge, it is usually the ground underneath rather than the slab itself.

Lift, or replace
A slab that has settled is usually a candidate. A slab that has broken into pieces, spalled through, or lost its edges generally is not, and lifting it would be selling you a repair that fails.
Where we work
A photograph of the slab, and one of where it has dropped, is usually enough to say whether it can be lifted.

About
Soil settles, water finds a route, and a void opens under concrete that is otherwise perfectly sound. Levelling fills that void instead of replacing what sits on top of it.
The business
Concrete levelling is the smaller of the two options. The slab stays, the ground under it is filled, and there is nothing to break up and cart away.
How we quote
The quote names the slab, the drop being corrected and the price. If something under the concrete changes the job, you hear about it before the work continues rather than after it.
Tell us what has moved and we will tell you whether it can be lifted.
