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.

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.

A-1 Concrete Leveling Relaxes at Del Monte Lodge & SPA Knowing We Provide A Long-Term Solution
This past weekend I had
the opportunity to stay at the Del Monte Lodge & SPA in the Rochester, NY
area where we completed a project 3 years ago and see first-hand the longevity
of our work. I felt like a proud dad
looking at our work at this beautiful place and knowing we had provided a service
that offered a long-term solution!!! Doing
something can be an accomplishment; doing something right is an achievement.
A-1 Concrete Leveling
Western New York Division is “Helping to Raise Western New York to Higher
Ground” by raising concrete that has settled over the years back to original
position. One of the most common questions I get on estimate is “How long does
concrete leveling last?” My answer… “A-1
Concrete Leveling guarantees our work for 2 years but our work should long outlast the warranty”. The #1 reason that
concrete settles is water erosion (aka: drainage) so the longevity of concrete
and concrete leveling can also be dependent on the pitch of the slab, dirt/fill
being added to the sides of the concrete and caulking exposed joints/cracks to
prevent future drainage from entering under the slab.

A-1 Concrete Leveling flexes its leveling muscles in Wilson New York……
A-1 Concrete Leveling Western New York Division is
“Helping to Raise Western New York to Higher Ground” by raising concrete that
has settled over the years back to original position. When it comes to leveling it’s critical to
have the best equipment but our patented equipment only is only half of the
story; it also requires the best people to make the magic happen. In the span
of a week we completed two pool deck projects in Wilson, NY both had a unique
set of variables.
After completing over 2400 projects in
the last 8 years the feeling of bringing value and successfully solving another
concrete issue never gets old but these particular projects brought a unique
type of satisfaction. It was an opportunity to test our skill and creativity
with the pumping system. Any skill worth having is a skill worth testing to
ensure continued improvement….

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.

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!!!

A-1 Concrete Leveling 2014 National Meeting
The Nations Largest Levelers have a meeting of the minds...........
Colorado
The A-1
Concrete Leveling national meeting was held this past week in Akron, Ohio from
January 27th-29th. A-1
Concrete Leveling Corporate hosted other franchise owners from around the
country to discuss business strategy, the future of A-1, and to celebrate collectively
our successes. What a great way to learn from some of the best and most experienced
concrete levelers in the country while having a little fun!!!
During the meeting there were
a variety of presentations including the foam injection application, web-site SEO
optimization and site development, alternative fuel options for our pumping
trucks and a point of sale marketing presentation. The meeting also included a speech
by former Cleveland Indian’s player and equally successful businessman Andre “Thunder”
Thornton; he is incredibly talented and smoother than silk!!!
This past year the A-1 Family lost the inventor and creator of our patented pumping system and founder of A-1 Concrete Leveling, Grover Miller on September 17th, 2013. He was truly our Colonel Sanders of concrete leveling and a remarkable man!!!! Therefore A-1 Corporate created the “Grover Miller Legacy Award” which exemplified trouble-shooting, persistence, innovation and generally “getting it done and done right”. The award was given at our Awards Dinner and was won by Ryan Reese from A-1 Concrete Leveling Indianapolis and there is not a more deserving guy!!!
