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.

Concrete Leveling & Repair Costs

As a home builder, you've always got to balance a need to build and warrantee great homes against your bottom line. This is why partnering with A-1 Concrete Leveling for your concrete warranty work can be so important. Our repair services are generally significantly less expensive than tearing the concrete out and replacing it. And the repairs can be beautiful and restore the concrete slabs to a nearly new state.
