Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What can you raise?
A: Solid slabs of concrete such as: approaches, driveways, sidewalks, steps(2-3), patios, RV pads, garage floors, basement floors, curb & gutter, pool decks, highway bridge approaches, warehouse floors, loading docks, handicap ramps, etc. We can remove almost any trip hazard.
Q: My sunken concrete is cracked can it still be raised?
A: Sections/pieces of cracked or broken concrete slab can be raised if the pieces are large enough. If you have a driveway section that has a crack through the middle, more times than not can be raised. If the pieces are small and frequent then they cannot be raised. If your not sure you can always take a picture of it, send the picture to us and we will let you know if it can be raised and leveled.

Q: How long does it take?

It might be scheduled in a couple of days or as long as a couple weeks depending on work load at the time. Most jobs only take a few hours to complete. For your convenience, as long as we can access the settled concrete and it’s clear of all belongings, it’s not necessary for you to be home at the time of the repair. We will call you before and after the job is complete.
Q: When can I used my raised concrete?
A: Immediately following the repair process. By the time our crew is finished patching the holes, the polyurethane will have reached it’s full cure. Just be careful around the freshly patched holes, they take several hours to cure.
Q: Is there maintenance required after my concrete is raised?
A: Homeowners must now caulk the joints in the raised concrete areas, fix landscaping that does not direct water away from the concrete and make sure all rain gutter downspouts direct water from the concrete. This is necessary to prevent further settling and was most likely the cause of the settling in the first place.
