Professional Concrete Leveling Services in Nashville, TN
Advanced polyurethane foam injection to lift and stabilize sunken concrete slabs. Save up to 70% compared to full replacement with results that last.
What Is Concrete Leveling?
Concrete leveling is a proven repair technique that restores sunken, settled, or uneven concrete slabs back to their original position. Instead of tearing out and replacing an entire slab, our team injects high-density polyurethane foam beneath the concrete to fill voids, stabilize the soil, and gently lift the surface back to level. This process is also known as foam jacking, poly leveling, or polyurethane concrete raising.
Over time, the soil beneath concrete surfaces compacts, erodes, or washes away due to water infiltration, poor drainage, and natural settling. When this happens, the concrete loses its support and begins to sink, creating uneven surfaces, trip hazards, and unsightly cracks. Concrete leveling addresses the root cause of the problem by filling the voids beneath the slab and restoring a solid, stable foundation.
At LevelRight Concrete, we specialize in polyurethane foam injection for residential and commercial properties throughout the Nashville metropolitan area. Our advanced equipment and experienced technicians deliver precise, long-lasting results that protect your investment and keep your property safe and functional.

(615) 669-2197How Polyurethane Foam Injection Works
Our polyurethane foam injection process is a state-of-the-art concrete leveling method that delivers superior results with minimal disruption to your property. Here is a detailed look at how the process works from start to finish.
First, our team conducts a thorough assessment of the affected area. We use laser levels and specialized tools to measure the exact degree of settlement and identify all voids beneath the concrete surface. This allows us to develop a precise injection plan tailored to your specific situation.
Next, we drill small, penny-sized holes (approximately 5/8 inch in diameter) through the concrete slab at strategic locations. These holes are far smaller than those required for traditional mudjacking, which typically uses holes 1 to 2 inches in diameter. The smaller holes mean less visible repair marks and a cleaner finished appearance.
Through these holes, we inject a two-part, high-density polyurethane foam. When the two components mix, a chemical reaction occurs that causes the material to expand. As the foam expands beneath the slab, it fills every void and cavity in the underlying soil, compresses loose material, and gently lifts the concrete back to its proper level. Our technicians carefully monitor the lifting process in real time using laser levels to achieve precise elevation adjustments.
The polyurethane foam cures and reaches full strength in approximately 15 minutes, meaning you can walk or drive on the repaired surface almost immediately. Finally, we patch the injection holes with a color-matched concrete filler, leaving a clean and barely noticeable repair.

(615) 669-2197Why Polyurethane Foam Is Superior to Mudjacking
Traditional mudjacking, also called slabjacking or mud leveling, involves pumping a heavy mixture of sand, cement, and water beneath the concrete slab. While mudjacking has been used for decades, polyurethane foam injection offers significant advantages that make it the preferred choice for modern concrete leveling.
Lightweight material: Polyurethane foam weighs approximately 2 to 4 pounds per cubic foot, compared to mudjacking slurry that weighs around 100 pounds per cubic foot. This dramatic difference in weight means polyurethane foam does not add excessive stress to already weakened soil. Mudjacking material can actually contribute to further settlement over time because of its sheer weight, especially on soil that is already prone to compaction.
Faster cure time: Polyurethane foam sets in about 15 minutes, allowing you to use the repaired surface almost immediately. Mudjacking requires 24 to 48 hours of cure time before the area can bear normal traffic. For busy driveways, commercial walkways, or pool decks, this rapid cure time is a game-changer.
Smaller injection holes: Our process uses 5/8-inch holes compared to the 1 to 2-inch holes needed for mudjacking. Smaller holes are less noticeable, easier to patch, and preserve more of your concrete's structural integrity.
Waterproof and permanent: Polyurethane foam is a closed-cell material, meaning it does not absorb water. Mudjacking material is porous and can erode, wash away, or break down when exposed to moisture over time. Because polyurethane foam is waterproof, it provides a permanent, stable base that will not deteriorate from water infiltration.
Precision lifting: The expanding foam allows our technicians to make fine, controlled adjustments to the slab elevation. Mudjacking is a more crude process where controlling the exact amount of lift is more difficult, sometimes resulting in over-lifting that requires additional adjustments.

(615) 669-2197Concrete Leveling vs. Concrete Replacement
When homeowners and property managers discover sunken or uneven concrete, the first thought is often that the entire slab needs to be torn out and replaced. While full replacement is sometimes necessary for severely damaged concrete, leveling is the smarter choice in the vast majority of cases. Here is why.
Cost savings of up to 70%: Concrete leveling typically costs 50 to 70 percent less than tearing out and pouring a new slab. Replacement involves demolition, hauling away debris, preparing the sub-base, forming, pouring, and finishing new concrete. Each step adds labor and material costs. Leveling skips all of that by working with your existing slab.
Completed in hours, not days: A typical concrete leveling job is completed in just a few hours, and the surface is ready for use the same day. Concrete replacement can take several days for demolition, preparation, pouring, and curing. New concrete typically requires 7 to 28 days to fully cure before it can handle heavy loads.
Minimal disruption: Leveling does not require heavy equipment, jackhammers, or dump trucks on your property. There is no dust cloud from demolition, no pile of rubble, and no wet concrete to keep people and pets away from. Our compact equipment fits through standard gates and into tight spaces.
Environmentally friendly: By preserving your existing concrete, leveling keeps tons of material out of landfills. Concrete replacement generates significant waste from the demolished slab, while also consuming new raw materials, water, and energy to pour a replacement.
Consistent appearance: New concrete poured adjacent to existing surfaces will always look different in color and texture. Leveling preserves your original slab, maintaining a consistent, uniform appearance across your property.

(615) 669-2197Common Signs You Need Concrete Leveling
Concrete settlement does not happen overnight, and the warning signs often develop gradually. Knowing what to look for can help you address the problem early before it worsens and becomes more costly to repair. Here are the most common indicators that your concrete needs professional leveling.
Uneven or sloping surfaces: If you notice that a section of your driveway, sidewalk, patio, or garage floor has dropped or tilted compared to adjacent slabs, settlement has occurred. Even a difference of half an inch can create a noticeable unevenness.
Trip hazards at joints: When one slab settles lower than its neighbor, a raised lip forms at the joint between them. These trip hazards are a leading cause of slip-and-fall injuries on residential and commercial properties and can expose you to significant liability.
Water pooling on the surface: Concrete is designed to drain water away from structures. When a slab settles, it can create low spots where water collects and pools. Standing water accelerates concrete deterioration, promotes mold growth, and can cause water to flow toward your foundation instead of away from it.
Cracking and separation: As concrete settles unevenly, stress builds up in the slab, leading to cracks. You may also notice gaps forming between the concrete and adjacent structures like foundations, garage floors, or steps. These gaps allow water to penetrate beneath the slab, accelerating the underlying erosion.
Rocking or wobbling slabs: If a concrete slab moves or wobbles when you walk on it, the soil beneath has eroded significantly, creating a large void. This is a serious structural concern that should be addressed promptly before the slab cracks or breaks.
