Why should I level my concrete surfaces?
There are many reasons to consider leveling your concrete if you notice sinking, buckling, cracking, or gaps.
Safety is a huge concern for concrete that is uneven. It can cause a tripping hazard that can lead to costly medical bills or litigation, particularly if it happens in or around your commercial business location.
Water damage to your home or commercial building foundation is another compelling reason to fix sunken concrete. If your sidewalk, steps, driveway, loading dock, or parking lot concrete has sunken in a way that it drives water toward your building’s foundation, you can expect to have moisture issues. Pooling or flooding in your basement or crawl space, mold and mildew growth, and cracks in your foundation walls are expensive repairs that will only get worse if not addressed promptly and leveling your concrete is a fantastic way to prevent these issues.
Finally, sunken, broken, and uneven concrete is unsightly. Polyjacking is a great way for New Haven homeowners to improve the curb appeal of their home before selling and Hartford concrete leveling is great for business owners to improve the overall look of their business location.
How do you level concrete?
The concrete leveling process is relatively simple: we begin by drilling small holes in the sunken or uneven concrete slab or slabs. Next, we inject a stabilizing substance (either a polyurethane foam for “polyjacking” or a concrete slurry mixture for “mudjacking”) into the space beneath the sunken concrete, continuing to add more and more until the concrete becomes level with surrounding slabs. The last step is to fill in the drilled holes with concrete, leaving your surface looking as good – if not better – than it ever has!
Are concrete leveling, polyjacking, slabjacking, and mudjacking the same thing?
Yes and no. Concrete leveling, polyjacking, slabjacking, and mudjacking all refer to the same process of drilling holes in sunken concrete and filling the space underneath using a stabilizing material to bring the concrete level. However, the material used to fill in the area below the concrete can differ. With polyjacking, a polyurethane mixture is used. Polyjacking is the most environmentally friendly, long-lasting, and convenient way to level concrete – in fact, you can walk on the concrete surface just 30 minutes after the job is finished. With mudjacking, a concrete slurry mixture is used to backfill the space beneath the concrete and bring it level – still effective, but more prone to erosion over time and can take anywhere from several hours to several days to dry.

What types of concrete do you level?
If there is a concrete surface that needs leveling around your home or commercial building, we most likely do it! Common home concrete leveling needs include patios, decks, walkways, driveways, garage floors, and concrete steps. Commercial building needs include warehouse floors, garage floors, loading docks, driveways, parking lots, sidewalks, and more. If you need concrete leveled in New Haven or polyjacking in Hartford, call CT Concrete Leveling.
What causes sinking concrete?
Water is the most common culprit when it comes to sinking concrete. While concrete itself is a very strong and hardy material, when water gets underneath a concrete slab it can erode and move the soil that stabilizes the concrete, causing moving, settling, and sinking of the slab. Tree roots and holes under concrete dug by rodents are other causes, but water-related soil erosion is the most common cause.
Is concrete leveling cheaper than replacing the slab?
Yes! Not only does polyjacking cost significantly less than replacing a concrete slab, but it also takes less time and causes less inconvenience, which is particularly important for a place of business. Removing old concrete and pouring new is a process that can take many hours in and of itself, with days tacked on at the end for the concrete to cure and dry completely. Removing and replacing concrete can also damage your landscaping. Polyjacking, on the other hand, is a process that is finished in just a few hours and takes minutes to dry and, at CT Concrete Leveling, we do everything we can to avoid damage to your grass or landscaping!
Can I use the leveled concrete area immediately after you’re done?
If you choose to go the route of polyjacking to level your concrete surfaces, the leveled concrete will be safe for normal use about 30 minutes after we’re finished. With mudjacking, which uses a slower-drying mixture, you will not be able to use the surface for several hours to several days, depending on the size of the job.
Do you provide concrete leveling for decorative surfaces?
Yes! We provide expert leveling for all types of concrete surfaces, including decorative concrete. The holes we drill to perform the leveling services are small and we can patch them with nearly any color. The keenest eye may notice a slight difference between the patched and original concrete, but the difference will be minimal.
What cities and towns do you serve?
We proudly provide concrete leveling and polyjacking in New Haven, Hartford, and surrounding communities in Connecticut.
What type of cleanup and maintenance is needed after a concrete leveling service?
Cleanup after concrete leveling is minimal – you may notice a small amount of concrete dust but that’s about it. Our equipment is compact and we do everything we can not to disturb your grass or landscaping, and leave the place looking even better than we found it.
The best way to maintain your leveled concrete is to monitor it for cracks or gaps and fill them in a timely manner using cement caulk, available at hardware stores. This will help ensure that water does not get into and under your concrete, which can lead to erosion and future sinking issues.
Does concrete leveling cause any damage to the concrete?
While leveling itself does not damage concrete, a newly-leveled slab may reveal small cracks that were not noticeable when it was sunken. These cracks can be easily repaired using cement caulk from your local hardware store. Other than that, you may notice a slight difference between the original concrete and that used to patch the small holes drilled during the leveling process, but this difference should be minimal. Concrete leveling does not change the look of the concrete itself – just the safety and balance of the entire concrete surface!
How long will my concrete remain level after polyjacking?
The polyurethane material used in polyjacking is super strong and resistant to erosion, pests, water damage, and other natural forces that wear away at traditional concrete. Your polyjacked concrete surface should stay level for many years to come. The one reason polyjacked concrete may begin to sink is if the soil underneath the polyurethane material erodes or shifts.
Do I need to be present while you level my concrete?
Yes we do require that someone be present during the work.
How much does concrete leveling cost?
The cost of a concrete leveling project depends on several factors: size of the area that needs to be leveled, how much material will need to be used to level the concrete, and the type of material used.
