Driveway Concrete Raising: Our 5-Step Process
How does concrete raising work? At Boost Concrete Leveling, we follow a simple 5-step process to ensure the best results for our concrete driveway leveling projects.
Step 1: Plan
The first step to repairing your driveway is for our team to inspect the area, and provide a free, no pressure estimate. During this inspection, we will identify the areas that need to be lifted and determine the best approach for your specific situation. We will also discuss any concerns or questions you may have and provide a thorough explanation of the process.
Step 2: Drill
We strategically drill tiny 1 ⅝ inch holes into the affected concrete area. These holes allow us to inject the slurry mixture in order to lift and level your concrete. At Boost Concrete Raising, we go above and beyond our competitors by not only raising tilted concrete, but supporting the concrete. Supporting the concrete is the most overlooked part of raising concrete, causing your same issues to reoccur. By strategically drilling holes in specific areas, we ensure the entirety of your concrete structure is well-supported for years to come.
Step 3: Pump
Once the holes are drilled, we use specialized equipment to pump the slurry mixture under the affected concrete slabs. The mixture is pumped at a high pressure and fills in any gaps or voids underneath, effectively lifting the concrete back to its original position.
Step 4: Patch
Once the concrete is raised and supported, we fill the small holes drilled to match your driveway concrete color as closely as possible. This ensures a seamless finish and maintains the appearance of your driveway. Over time, the small holes will become barely noticeable.
Step 5: Enjoy!
You can typically use the area again within a few hours. This process is much faster and more cost-effective than replacing damaged or sunken concrete. Not only that, but it also helps prevent further damage to your property by fixing the root cause of the problem. Plus, our team will clean up any mess and leave your property looking better than before!
