How It Works | Lexington Concrete Leveling

Step by step

1. Survey and cause diagnosis

Levels taken across the slab, void probed, and the drainage or plumbing cause identified. A contractor who does not ask where the water goes has not diagnosed anything.

2. Method selection

Foam or slurry chosen against soil conditions, load, access and how visible the port holes will be. Weak soils favor lightweight foam; cost-sensitive utility slabs favor mudjacking.

3. Drill injection ports

Ports drilled in a pattern across the settled area, sized to the method. Pattern spacing determines how evenly the lift distributes.

4. Inject and monitor lift

Material pumped in stages, moving between ports, with continuous level monitoring. Going slowly is what prevents cracking the slab during the lift.

5. Seal and patch

Ports patched, joints and cracks sealed so surface water no longer runs beneath. This last step is what protects the work and is sometimes quoted separately.

What you can do before we arrive

None of this is required — it just makes the visit quicker.

Look at where your downspouts discharge and where surface water runs, because that is the most common cause and often the cheapest thing to fix.
Measure and photograph the settlement now, so you have a baseline to compare against if it moves again later.
Rule out a plumbing leak if the settlement is near a sewer or supply line, since lifting over an active leak is money spent twice.
Combine every slab you want lifted into one visit rather than calling separately, because mobilisation is a large share of a small job.
Accept that patched port holes will be visible on a weathered slab and decide in advance whether that matters on a decorative surface.
Clear vehicles, furniture and planters from the work area and provide access for equipment and hose runs.
