What is Concrete Leveling?


The process of raising sunken concrete slabs

through the use of hydraulic pressure injection


where a grout, or other base material, creates
a new sub-base by filling voids beneath
concrete slabs and hydraulically raising the
sunken slab back to grade
Environmentally responsible application
Reuse existing slabs
Limestone material is natural, non-toxic

The scientific principle is called


Hydrodynamic Lubrication,
like hydro-planing
If it floats, it will lift
