ControlLevel is an excellent option for lifting concrete in many situations, but not all. Your local A‑1 Southeast Michigan experts will tell you exactly what you need, and how much it could cost, with your free, on-site estimate.
How A-1 Lifts Settled Concrete
ControlLevel™ is A‑1's standard for concrete lifting, refined since 1982. With specialized equipment, a limestone-based stone slurry, and trained technicians ControlLevel gives A‑1 Southeast Michigan greater control over the flow of material and the pace of the lift, for maximum precision and minimum disruption.

Raise settled concrete to a safer, more even position with A‑1's exclusive ControlLevel™ System.

Polyurethane foam leveling, also called polyjacking, for select projects. A‑1 chooses the best method for your concrete.

Seal open joints and cracks to help limit water intrusion while allowing seasonal movement.

Clean built-up dirt, algae, and staining from the concrete you already have.

Seal the surface so water, salt, and everyday wear soak in more slowly. It's the maintenance step that buys a slab years.

Stabilize and support settling foundations. Ask your local A‑1 team about foundation repair options.
Save up to 70% vs. replacement
Across A‑1 locations, most residential ControlLevel™ jobs cost $1,100 to $1,500.
Your price depends on the size of the area, the void beneath it, and how far the slab has dropped. Get your exact number with a free, on-site estimate from A‑1 Southeast Michigan.
Eco-friendly, limestone-based stone slurry
(a mineral mix, batched on site)
Decades
Settling that has not stopped will move any repair.
High compressive strength
The slurry fills the void it flows into. Support ends up even across the slab.
$1,100–$1,500
Across A‑1 locations (up to 70% less than replacement)
Low
The material is adjusted in real time for maximum precision
Walk on it right away
Drive within 24 hours
Expanding polyurethane foam
(often a two-part synthetic resin)
Decades
The same rule applies to any leveling method.
Depends on the fill
Foam expands unpredictably and may not fill the whole void, which leaves unsupported spots.
$1,350–$2,250
Medium
Foam can be unpredictable, expanding after it's injected

A‑1 Southeast Michigan is a service-area business that comes to you, including REO Town, Warehouse District and Franklin Boulevard, and along the routes that connect them: U.S. Route 20, Ohio State Route 2 and Interstate 94.
So much of life in Southeast Michigan happens outdoors: birthday parties, cookouts, family dinners on the patio, and days out at places like Michigan Stadium, the Renaissance Center and Oakland University. Your own driveway and patio should be as safe as the places around them, so A‑1 levels uneven concrete before a small trip hazard becomes a bigger problem.

Sunken concrete in areas like Plymouth (MI) or Okemos (MI) usually starts below the surface: the soil beneath a slab shifts, erodes, or can no longer support it evenly. Water can enter through open joints, cracks, and slab edges. As it moves through the ground, soil may soften or wash away, leaving empty spaces beneath the concrete. Without consistent support, part of the slab begins sinking. Seasonal freezing and thawing can add movement as moisture in the soil freezes, expands, and later thaws. Drainage problems, poorly compacted fill, tree roots, and burrowing animals may also contribute.
A large portion of the Southeast Michigan area is lake-plain clay and inland loam, a mix — dense lake-plain clay toward Detroit and Toledo that holds water against foundations, and lighter sandy loam inland that can wash and settle as fine grains move. Add the freeze-thaw cycles the Southeast Michigan lake plain sees each winter, and slab edges are especially prone to settling.
While the causes of sunken and damaged concrete are pretty similar across the greater Southeast Michigan area, what you're seeing may be completely different than someone up the road.

A‑1 Concrete Leveling.

One local crew serves Southeast Michigan and the surrounding areas, with free on-site estimates.
For qualifying projects, leveling can save up to 70% compared to replacement. Across A‑1 locations, most jobs fall between $1,100 and $1,500. For the accurate number in Southeast Michigan, request a free, on-site estimate from A‑1 Southeast Michigan today.
They're different tools. Mudjacking-style leveling pumps a natural slurry beneath the slab; foam injects an expanding synthetic. A‑1's ControlLevel™ system gives the technician live control of the lift. A‑1 Southeast Michigan offers both and will recommend the right one for your slab.
Mudjacking is the traditional name for lifting concrete by pumping material beneath it. ControlLevel™ is A‑1's modern version: a limestone slurry, specialized equipment, and a slow, controlled lift.
Raising settled concrete back to a safer, more even position without tearing it out. Also called concrete lifting, raising, mudjacking, or slabjacking.
Small holes are drilled in the slab, material is pumped beneath to fill the voids, and the slab is guided back to position. With ControlLevel™, the technician monitors and adjusts the entire lift.
Most repairs can last for the life of your concrete. Longevity depends on the conditions beneath the slab, drainage, and upkeep like caulking and sealing.
If the slab is still solid, leveling usually wins: a fraction of the cost, done in a day. If it's crumbling or structural, replacement is the honest answer, and we'll tell you.
Yes. A‑1 Southeast Michigan offers polyurethane foam leveling, also called polyjacking, for select projects. Foam and ControlLevel™ are different approaches suited to different site and slab conditions.
Usually the adjoining property owner, but rules vary by city. Check your city's sidewalk program; if the repair is yours, A‑1 can level it for far less than replacement.
Often, yes. Frozen ground can limit some lifts, but many projects run year-round. Your local crew will tell you what your slab needs.
