In Colorado, shifting "expansive" soils and poor drainage are the usual suspects. When the soil under your porch shrinks or washes away, the heavy concrete slab loses its support and begins to sink or tilt. We use precision leveling to "pump" the slab back into its original position, often closing that unsightly gap between your porch and the siding.

If your concrete is still in large, solid pieces, leveling is almost always the better choice. It’s typically 50-70% cheaper than replacement, requires zero demolition, and you can walk on it the same day. We generally only recommend replacement if the concrete is "spider-webbed" into tiny fragments or the surface is severely flaking (spalling).

Yes. This is one of the most important reasons to level your concrete. If your patio has "negative grade" (sloping toward your home), it can lead to basement leaks and foundation damage. We "pitch" the slab back toward your yard, ensuring rain and snowmelt flow safely away from your home’s structure.

Most porch and patio projects are completed in just 2 to 4 hours. Unlike new concrete, which can take days to cure, you can put your patio furniture back and host a BBQ immediately after we finish.

We use a "small-bore" method. We drill tiny holes (about the size of a penny) to inject our leveling compound. Once the slab is level, we fill those holes with a color-matched concrete grout. After a bit of weathering, they become very difficult to spot.

Absolutely. While leveling gets the slab flat, Concrete Caulking (joint sealing) is the finishing touch. We highly recommend sealing the cracks and expansion joints to prevent water from getting back under the slab, which protects your "lift" from future sinking or winter freeze-thaw damage.

Yes, but it requires a professional touch. If your porch slab supports a roof or overhang, we carefully monitor the structural posts during the lift to ensure the roof remains stable and properly supported.

Yes, in most cases, we can "re-marry" the two surfaces. It is common for a heavy concrete stoop to settle faster than the main porch or the house foundation because they are often poured on different footings. We use precision leveling to slowly lift the sunken stoop back to its original height, closing the separation gap and eliminating the dangerous "uneven step" that often forms. nce the stoop is level, we use professional-grade polyurethane caulking to seal the joint between the stoop and the porch. This prevents water from getting into that seam, which is the #1 cause of future "freeze-thaw" separation.
