Testimonials

I had a large issue in the driveway of my home. Multiple cracks. It sounded hollowed as you stomp on it in multiple areas. WHAT THEY DID:  They filled up the gaps inside. They repaired superficial cracks very well. They brought up the issue of how rain water could be coming under my driveway and causing more cracks in the future.

Just wanted to let you know that Josh and Nathan came today to take care of our driveway issues. They both did an excellent job in a very professional manner. We will definitely recommend A-1 Concrete Leveling to our friends here, should they have need of such services! Thanks again for your help and Deanne's help in resolving our driveway issues.

We needed part of our front sidewalk leveled, and also porch stairs. Rhett was on time for the estimate and thorougly explained what had to be done, and how it would be done. No rush, willing to answer any questions at all. They called and had an earlier opening than promised so we got it done even sooner than we had hoped. Everyone was very professional and knowledgeable.

I know I had a lot of questions and I appreciated your patience. Your crew did a great job! I walked/crawled around before they left and it was exactly as I expected. The contractors I’ve hired so far for various projects cut a lot of corners and I wouldn’t hire any of them again. I’m glad Luis recommended A1. I will recommend you to anyone looking for foundation work as well.

Three Methods For Foundation Repair

It’s finally time to get your house sitting level and keeping you and your family safe again. Here are three of the most popular methods of foundation repair:

Steel Piers

Also known as hydraulic jacking or simply as piering, this method drives steel posts through your unstable soil. Hydraulic jacks are then used to either stabilize or raise your concrete slabs that have been affected by your land’s unreliable soil.

Slabjacking

When a foundation contractor chooses to use a slabjacking method, this means they pump grout or polyurethane beneath a slab or beam. This will lift the rest of the house to its ideal, level elevation. At A-1 Concrete and Leveling, we use an all-natural, environmentally friendly limestone grout.

Rebar

Rebar is typically only used for bowed walls. We hydraulically jack your wall back into place, and then insert heavy-duty rebar and pump your wall full of concrete for a foundation repair solution that will last.
