Professional Concrete Leveling in Colorado Springs

What Is Concrete Leveling?

Concrete leveling — also known as mudjacking or slabjacking — is a proven repair method that raises sunken, settled, or uneven concrete slabs back to their original position. Instead of the expensive and disruptive process of tearing out old concrete and pouring new slabs, leveling restores your existing concrete at a fraction of the cost.

At Colorado Springs Leveling, we specialize in a superior limestone slurry grout method that outperforms traditional mudjacking. Our agricultural-lime mixture creates a non-shrinking, rock-solid foundation beneath your concrete that resists erosion and lasts for decades. With over 20,000 jobs completed across the Pikes Peak region since 2002, we have the experience and expertise to handle any concrete leveling challenge.

Why Does Concrete Settle in Colorado Springs?

Colorado Springs sits on expansive clay soil that is notorious for causing concrete problems. This type of soil swells significantly when it absorbs moisture during rain and snowmelt, then shrinks and compacts when it dries out during our hot summers. Over years of these wet-dry cycles, voids form beneath your concrete slabs.

Add in Colorado’s intense freeze-thaw cycles — where temperatures can swing 40 degrees in a single day — and you have a recipe for concrete settlement. Water seeps into cracks and joints, freezes and expands, then thaws and creates even larger voids. Poor original soil compaction during construction compounds the problem.

The result is sunken driveways, uneven sidewalks, tilting patios, and trip hazards that only get worse over time if left unaddressed. Not sure if your concrete needs attention? Check our guide on 7 warning signs your concrete needs leveling. The good news is that concrete leveling addresses the root cause by filling those voids and stabilizing the soil beneath your slabs.

The Limestone Slurry Advantage

Not all concrete leveling is created equal. Traditional mudjacking uses a mixture of dirt, sand, clay, and water — essentially pumping mud under your concrete. While this works temporarily, the material can shrink, compress, and wash away over time, leading to re-settlement.

Our limestone slurry method is fundamentally different. We use a carefully formulated mixture of agricultural lime, Portland cement, and water that creates a material with several key advantages:

• Non-shrinking formula — Unlike mud-based slurries, limestone grout does not shrink as it cures, maintaining consistent support under your slab
• Erosion resistant — The limestone mixture hardens to a rock-like consistency that resists water erosion and soil washout
• Eco-friendly material — Agricultural lime is a natural, non-toxic material that is safe for your yard, pets, and the environment
• Low-pressure application — We pump at approximately 5 PSI, which is gentle enough to lift slabs without cracking them
• Long-lasting results — Our 2-year warranty comes with less than a 1% callback rate because the material simply performs better

As a hybrid contractor, we also offer polyurethane foam leveling for situations where it is the better solution, such as tight-access areas or interior spaces. We always recommend the right method for your specific project.

Our Concrete Leveling Process

Our streamlined four-step process is designed to get your concrete level quickly and with minimal disruption to your property.

Step 1: Free On-Site Assessment

Every project begins with a thorough evaluation. We measure the settlement depth at multiple points, inspect the overall condition of the concrete, and assess the soil conditions. We will explain exactly what is happening beneath your slabs and provide an honest recommendation — if leveling is not the right solution, we will tell you.

Step 2: Strategic Preparation

Small 1-inch holes — about the size of a quarter — are drilled through the concrete at carefully calculated positions. The number and placement of holes depends on the size and shape of the slab and the pattern of settlement. We protect surrounding landscaping and surfaces before beginning work.

Step 3: Precision Leveling

Our limestone slurry grout is pumped through the drill holes at low pressure. The material flows beneath the slab, filling voids and gently lifting the concrete back to its original grade. We monitor the lift in real time using precision leveling tools to ensure accuracy down to fractions of an inch.

Step 4: Clean Finishing

Once the slab is level, every drill hole is patched with non-shrink grout that blends with the surrounding concrete. The work area is cleaned up thoroughly, and a final inspection confirms that everything meets our quality standards. You can walk on the surface immediately, and most surfaces can handle vehicle traffic within 24 hours.

Concrete Leveling vs. Replacement: Why Leveling Wins

When faced with sunken concrete, many homeowners assume they need to tear everything out and start from scratch. Here is why leveling is almost always the better choice:

Factor	Concrete Leveling	Full Replacement
Cost	50-70% less	Full price
Time	Hours, not days	3-7 days minimum
Disruption	Minimal — use same day	Major — forms, curing, cleanup
Environmental	Eco-friendly, no waste	Demolition debris to landfill
Appearance	Small patched holes	Visible new-pour lines
Results	Addresses root cause	Same soil problems may return

The only scenarios where replacement makes more sense are when the concrete is severely cracked, crumbling, or structurally compromised beyond repair. For a detailed breakdown of costs and when each option makes sense, read our guide on concrete leveling vs replacement. During our free assessment, we will give you an honest evaluation of which approach is right for your situation.
