Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the questions customers commonly ask before scheduling concrete raising or concrete leveling services in Raleigh, Durham, Wake Forest, Cary, Chapel Hill, and surrounding Triangle communities.

Many settled concrete slabs can be raised, but the final answer depends on the condition of the concrete, the amount of settling, and what caused the slab to move. In many cases, concrete raising is a strong alternative to replacement.

Concrete raising is designed to be less invasive than replacement. Because the existing slab is preserved, there is usually less demolition, less debris, and less disruption to the surrounding landscape.

We commonly raise and level sidewalks, walkways, driveways, garage floors, porches, patios, pool decks, steps, entryways, and other slab-on-grade concrete surfaces.

Concrete can settle when soil shifts, washes out, compacts, or loses support beneath the slab. Water movement, poor drainage, erosion, and changing soil conditions can all contribute to uneven concrete.

Small access holes are created in the affected slab, and material is placed beneath the concrete to fill voids and restore support. The slab is then carefully raised back toward a level and usable position.

Yes. Concrete Raising of North Carolina provides concrete leveling services for homeowners, businesses, property managers, and commercial properties throughout the Greater Raleigh-Durham Triangle area.

Concrete raising is often a faster, cleaner, and more affordable option than tearing out and replacing concrete. It can also help preserve nearby landscaping and avoid the mismatched look of old and new concrete side by side.

If the slab is mostly intact but uneven or unsupported, raising may be a good option. If the concrete is badly broken, severely deteriorated, or structurally compromised, replacement may be more appropriate. A project review can help determine the best solution.

In some cases, concrete can continue to settle if soil conditions or water movement continue beneath the slab. For qualifying jobs, Concrete Raising of North Carolina provides a limited one-year warranty for settling from ΒΌ inch to 1 inch.
