A-1 Concrete Leveling turns a leap back into a step…..

Over the past 7 years A-1 Concrete Leveling Western New York Division has completed thousands of estimates and projects and one of the most common questions that customers ask is: “Why did my concrete settle?” The simple answer is compaction of the sub-base and the resulting surface drainage over time causes concrete to settle. That being said, the areas that have been excavated around the foundation of the house or structure have more fill and, therefore, a far greater likelihood for significant initial compaction. Excavation and compaction in conjunction with the disproportionate weight that concrete steps transfer to the sub-base creates a perfect storm for steps and stoops to settle. When concrete steps settle it inevitably results in one step being higher than the standard 7”-8” required by code. A-1 Concrete Leveling raises sunken steps and stoop back to original position eliminating the dangerous leap that was intended to be a step at a fraction of the cost and time. Take a moment to see what A-1 Concrete Leveling can do for your sunken concrete steps and stoops.

A-1 Concrete Leveling sends water running…..away from the foundation

A-1 Concrete Leveling Western New York Division is “Helping to Raise Buffalo to Higher Ground” by raising concrete that has settled over the years back to original position. The concrete patio that surrounds a house can be a great area to spend time and hang out but when that concrete settles and pitches water toward the house the time water spends hanging out at your foundation can become a problem. Concrete leveling will re-pitch existing concrete away from the foundation while saving the landscape, money, time and the foundation; most people’s biggest investment. Want to see some “Before and After” photos from some of A-1 Concrete Leveling’s patio projects.

How Strong is A-1 Concrete Leveling???

A-1 Concrete Leveling Western New York Division is “Helping to Raise Buffalo to Higher Ground” by raising concrete that has settled over the years back to original position. When A-1 Concrete Leveling raises people’s sidewalk slabs they often ask; can you raise larger concrete slabs than a sidewalk slab. My answer… “magic knows no limit… so yes we can raise it.” Often they are referring to driveway slabs which by our standards are not large; perhaps normal but not large. Can we raise larger concrete slabs? Yes!!! Take a moment to watch our “Before and After” pictures of driveway projects and you’ll know the answer yourself.

Your concrete is expensive and your property is one of the largest investments you have so “Extend the Life of Your Concrete” and you’ll protect your investment and maybe even make some money. A-1 Concrete Leveling raises sunken concrete of all sizes!!!
