Commercial Markets Served: Home Builders
A-1 Concrete Leveling has great relationships with home builders across the country. As a builder, you know that your reputation is the most important value in your business. Let us be your go-to company when it comes to any warranty issues with your newly constructed homes.
You do your best to build homes that families will love for years to come. But sometimes things don't remain perfect. Issues can come up with concrete that settles on ground that can sometimes be hard to compact. This isn't necessarily a reflection on the quality of your work, but how you respond can be more important than getting it right the first time.

Causes of Settling Concrete in New Construction
During construction, a lot of dirt is moved around. And over time that dirt can settle and compact. This can be especially true after seasons of heavy rain, or even seasons of drought. Sinkholes can appear, and concrete can settle. Oftentimes this is most apparent around foundations, where more material was needed to fill in the excavated hole. You do your best to make sure the subsurface to all your concrete work is compacted as best as possible, but sometimes there's nothing you can do to keep it from settling.
Solutions for Concrete Issues in New Home Construction
Even after all your hard work, issues can occur. That's why it's important to have a partner you can trust to come in and fix the problems as soon, and as completely as possible. Depending on the problem, A-1's solutions can vary. Most concrete leveling issues can be solved with our lifting techniques. This somewhat simple process involves drilling holes in the concrete and pumping a material beneath to lift it back into place. Afterward, the holes are patched. And in the case of newer concrete, these patches can be barely visible in just a few months.
In more extreme cases, many of our A-1 Concrete locations can also provide foundation repair solutions. Hopefully, you won't have to deal with this too often, but when you do, you want the right professionals fixing the job. A-1 offers a wide variety of solutions here, including foundation piering (lifting the foundation with piers driven into the ground) or carbon fiber strapping glued to interior walls to help stop any bowing of the walls.

John can usually be found up in the Ft. Collins area. He's just as likely to show up to your door for your free estimate, as he is to be at the end of a hose, leveling your driveway. When it comes to concrete leveling, you could say it's in his blood.
Recently we called A-1 Concrete Leveling and asked if someone could come out to quote us on lifting our front porch. The pitch of the porch was sloping towards our house and we needed the porch lifted and sloped the other way. When John came out to quote our job he told us that what we really needed to do was replace the porch. He throughly explained why he came to that conclusion and even though it wasn't information he wanted to deliver, he knew it needed to be done. He said that if he lifts the porch, it won't give us the result we want. Water may still run towards the house and at best he may be able to make the porch level but the water probably will not slope away from the house and run off the porch. To my surprise, A-1 does not replace concrete. He offered a referral but encouraged me to get some quotes from companies that replace concrete and can pour a new porch for us. John went above and beyond and what we appreciated the most was his honesty. Unfortunately, anymore there are way too many people that are looking to take your money instead of doing the right thing. John and A-1 are a class act!
