Frequently Asked Questions

What is concrete-lifting and -leveling?
Many times after concrete has been poured to create a driveway, sidewalk, porch, step, or any other concrete surface, it may unevenly settle to create a variety of problems. This settling can result in drainage problems, safety hazards, and unsightly appearances, among other things.

B-Level's unique-lifting and-leveling method makes a permanent repair by lifting the concrete to its original level. B-Level's experienced craftsmen drill holes in the concrete area that needs repaired. With B-Level's specially designed equipment, a craftsman infuses a new base under the concrete slab to raise it to the customers desired level. Within hours customers can make use of the area.

Why should I use this method as opposed to pouring new concrete?
B-Level machines are designed to quickly and effectively repair most residential and commercial concrete areas at a fraction of the cost and labor time it takes to replace existing concrete. Many times the repair results in a more stable area than total replacement.

Does B-Level provide services all year?
Yes. B-Level provides its services all year (weather permitting).

Where does B-Level provide its lifting and leveling services?
B-Level provides residential services in greater Columbus and Cleveland, Ohio; and greater Atlanta and Augusta, Georgia. Commercial and industrial services are provided throughout the entire Eastern United States.

How much does it cost?
B-Level provides free quotes to all residential homeowners who are considering repairing their sunken concrete. The price varies depending upon the area that needs repaired and how many inches the concrete has sunk from its original state. All work is guaranteed from re-sinking up to one year the concrete area was repaired.

Can I make use of the repaired area right away?
Within hours, you can make use of your repaired surface for pedestrian traffic. A four-day cure time is necessary for automobiles and heavy equipment.

Do you warrant your work?
All lifting and leveling work has a one-year warranty.

Why does your warranty last for one year?
If a job fails that B-Level performs, it is due to the soil settling. (This is not covered under most company’s warranties). If soil settles after a job, it will fail within a year. B-Level material has been tested at The Ohio State University. Testing after 12 years has shown that the material used by B-Level, when used properly, does not break down.

How long will the repair last?
This method of repair has been used for years in the commercial and industrial industries. Not until B-Level has been selling this more modern equipment has this service been made popular in the residential sector. If the ground is left undisturbed, you can expect that our method will last as long as your concrete.
