A-1 Concrete Leveling will extend the life of your concrete…

Most customers know that A-1 Concrete Leveling uses its patented equipment to raise sunken concrete but did you know that concrete can be stabilized before significant settling occurs?  Over time the sub-base below the concrete become eroded due to compaction and drainage in conjunction with the freeze-thaw cycle.

Those that have purchased new concrete over the last few years know that the cost of concrete can practically match the cost of a new car. Would you throw out your car if it needed maintainace? Do you perform preventative maintenance to your car prior to it having an issue? Do you have money to throw away?

A-1 Concrete Leveling’s system uses the counterweight of the concrete, in conjunction with its tensile strength, pushes against the ground trying to find solid ground to support the weight of the concrete. By doing so the concrete is not entirely resting on solid ground and is supported by an unstable soil surface which will increasingly be an unsuitable base for the concrete. This will result in cracking, movement, sinking, further instability and increased speed of deterioration. This deteriorating situation can be stopped or reversed by pressure injecting our limestone-based slurry below the concrete through 1” in diameter holes; the sub-base is thereby re-established and the life of the concrete is effectively extended.


The fact is the smart money move is on saving the existing concrete before it costs really big money to replace! This is especially true for our corporate, industrial and municipal customers where “downtime” is more costly than just the cost of replacement. Pressurizing soil and voids below the concrete is preventative maintenance just like changing the oil or brake pads on your car; it makes financial sense and cents. Extend the life of your concrete with concrete leveling! We look forward to working with you soon.

Barker Central School District Project Recap

A-1 Concrete Leveling goes back to school to teach sunken concrete a lesson!!!

This video is a series of clips from a project at Barker Central School District where A-1 Concrete Leveling (Western New York Division) raised over 5000 square feet of sunken concrete.  The project was completed in less than 3 days using our patented equipment and expert personnel.




Raising slabs back to its original position saves 50%-70% versus replacement and is environmentally friendly.  "We Pump It Up!"

A-1 Concrete Leveling and the 2014 FM Expo


Thursday, November 6, 2014 (11:00 AM- 5:00 PM)

Thanks again to Nancy Boyd Haley for organizing the ever-popular Facilities Management Expo.  We are looking forward to exhibiting there!  

For the past 19 years the FM Expo has provided a comfortable and convenient environment to meet with many of our existing commercial and industrial customers as well as the opportunity to connect with some great people that may become new customers. The FM Expo is a great opportunity to learn about new innovative products and services.  As concrete leveling is still emerging, and due to our unique, patented pressure injection application, it is always good to meet with our customers face-to-face to discuss our process.  Of course, it’s always a pleasure to reconnect with other vendors as well.

When concrete leveling is right for your project, A-1 Concrete Leveling can save you 50 to 70 percent versus replacing sunken concrete.  One of the best things about concrete leveling is that it can be done until the ground freezes even in the rain so if you have money in the budget use it with A-1 Concrete Leveling or lose it!

We look forward to seeing you at the 2014 Facilities Management Expo!  Visit us at booth #213 and see what concrete leveling can do for your facility.

The Expos is at the Grapevines Banquets (333 Dick Road) in Depew, NY, On Thursday, November 6th, from 11:00AM to 5:00PM.
