How Do I Know if My Concrete Needs Leveling?

ControlLevel is an excellent option for lifting concrete in many situations, but not all. Your local A‑1 Northern Virginia experts will tell you exactly what you need, and how much it could cost, with your free, on-site estimate.

Lift it if…
  • It's settled or uneven but still solid
  • Water pools or runs the wrong way
  • It has cracks but the slab is still mostly intact
  • The problem is where the slab sits, not the slab breaking down
Replace it if…
  • It's crumbling or very badly deteriorated
  • It is spalling, flaking, or chipping, and you want it looking new again
  • The slab itself is broken apart, not just sunken
  • It was poured incorrectly, with waves or other surface irregularities

How A-1 Lifts Settled Concrete

The ControlLevel™ System

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 Northern Virginia greater control over the flow of material and the pace of the lift, for maximum precision and minimum disruption.

  1. Drill Small Holes
    1Drill Small Holes Small holes are drilled at carefully selected points, and the stone slurry is pumped beneath the slab at a slow, controlled pace.
  2. Lift the Slab
    2Lift the Slab As empty spaces fill, the technician monitors and adjusts the lift.
  3. Enjoy It Again
    3Enjoy It Again Once the slab reaches the best practical position, the holes are patched and the work area is cleaned.

Why Concrete Sinks in Northern Virginia

LOCAL SOIL Marine Clay (In Pockets)
AVG ANNUAL RAINFALL 43″
NIGHTS AT/BELOW FREEZING 102 nights
PEAK FREEZE-THAW WINDOW November–March

Sunken concrete in areas like Woodbridge or Oakton 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.

While the causes of sunken and damaged concrete are pretty similar across the greater Northern Virginia area, what you're seeing may be completely different than someone up the road.
