2011 Buffalo Home & Garden Show

What a great show! The 2011 Buffalo Home and Garden Show was, once again, fantastic! Many past customers of A-1 Concrete Leveling stopped by the booth to thank us for the projects we did for them and we had the opportunity to visit with potential customers and our fellow vendors. We are looking forward to a full and exciting season!

Experience the A-1 Advantage!!!

A-1 Concrete Leveling is America's Premier Concrete Leveling Company!

The most modern concrete leveling techniques!

• The 1" diameter holes drilled through the slab by A-1 are the smallest in the industry
• Smaller hole size avoids weakening the slabs or raising the slabs too quickly
• A-1 fills the void completely and raises the slab safely

The most environmentally responsible concrete leveling material.

• Limestone-based slurry used to raise sunken concrete is natures' original green material and has stood the test of time
• Limestone is used by farmers to fertilize crops
• Limestone was used over 3000 years ago to build the pyramids!
• Limestone is natural and won't disturb the landscape, in fact, it may help...everyone has received a mailer offering "organic lime treatment" for the lawn

A-1's patented Concrete Leveling System has been perfected over the last 30 years!!!

Facility Managers: Maximize Your 2010 Budget

Since we have entered the final quarter of the year, there are many industrial and commercial properties contacting us as they review their annual budgets. You know the old adage: use it or lose it! If you are like others, the weather may have impacted your ability to make improvements or maintain every aspect of your property. Since concrete leveling is not subject to some of the same weather restrictions, we are helping facilities maximize their end-of-year spend using our value-oriented concrete lifting solution. If your facility has budget spend remaining and sunken concrete, let A-1 Concrete Leveling help you increase your overall performance rating on budget usage!

Limestone

Limestone

Click the link above to read an interesting article which discusses the long-term durability of naturally-occurring limestone making limestone a proven building material that can last for centuries.

Of course this is part of why we use a limestone-based slurry in our hydraulic pressure injection application for concrete leveling. Our grout material effectively re-establishes the sub-base and creates a natural, stable sub-support for the slab.

It is unusual that the author did not mention that the Egyptian pyramids are made of limestone since they have been around for thousands of years!!!

This article was written by nationally syndicated newspaper columnist, Tim Collins, and published on the Ask The Builder website.

Enjoy!
