Colorado Concrete Repair is a professional concrete leveling company. We arrive at properties that have uneven concrete and utilize a variety of tools and techniques to make sure that you have a perfectly level, smooth concrete surface every time. One approach to self-leveling concrete floors is to use self-leveling concrete. By definition, self-leveling concrete is a type of liquid concrete that goes on smooth and, using gravity, dries level to create a far more level space. Self-leveling concrete can have many advantages as an approach to concrete maintenance, though it should be noted that it is not without its risks and needs. Benefits and Risks of Self-Leveling Concrete First, it is important to understand that concrete may be durable, but it is also remarkably fragile. For example, self-leveling concrete is typically mixed with water at the time of service. But even the instructions on the bag are not entirely accurate. It can be affected by airborne humidity, heat, weather, location, thickness, and more. Typically, it is better to have a professional use any type of leveling agent, whether it is […]

Colorado Concrete Repair works primarily with commercial properties. But, when needed, we also take on some work with private homes – especially those that need concrete leveling. One of the challenges happening across Denver is that many properties are being rushed during their build. This can mean that the concrete doesn’t have time to fully cure and cause high spots. These high spots need to be flattened for properties that are going to want to eventually have other types of flooring, as any tiles placed on top of it will be more likely to bend or break. That’s where we come in. Now, there are some situations where we need to use professional concrete leveling to get the floors just right. But sometimes, what we can use is grinding. Hand grinding can remove many of the high spots, helping level the flooring without leaning on extra concrete. We hand grind, measure with a leveler, and then clean up afterward so that the owner has a foundation for whatever type of flooring they want.     Contact Us Today For Your […]

There are situations where you may find yourself wanting to change your space. Often times, this requires new flooring and cabinetry that relies on having a very level floor. But most properties do not have level flooring. Settling and improper installation (both of which are common for most properties) causes the ground to be uneven, and uneven ground means problems with any new flooring and installations that may not look as sharp and attractive as they are supposed to be. Often, the contractor you have in charge of renewing your property is the one that is also in charge of leveling. But this can be a mistake. Concrete may be one of the most durable materials we have, but it has to be installed correctly. That is why so many people contact us at Colorado Concrete Repair for professional leveling services. What This Looks Like Below are some photos of what poor leveling can look like. And here is what it looks like after we’ve flattened out the high spots. We find what areas need flattening out, and we set […]

When concrete at your facility becomes unlevel – causing doors to get stuck when you open them, laminate and LVP floors to start warping, or bumps and cracks to develop – this does not automatically mean that you will need to replace your concrete floors, sidewalks, driveways, patios, or other surfaces. Concrete leveling can often provide a long term fix instead. In many cases, concrete leveling can have your surface looking like new without needing to replace the entire slab. When you are debating between replacement and concrete leveling after concrete damage at your commercial property, these benefits can help you determine whether repair or leveling is the best choice. When to Choose Concrete Leveling Instead of Replacement Unlevel concrete can be the result of a number of causes. It may have occurred as the result of a faulty installation, wear and tear, or shifting ground due to environmental factors. As the concrete shifts, the stress can cause both visual and physical damage that needs to be repaired. Concrete leveling offers several benefits when compared with concrete replacement including: Lower […]

Shifting ground, erosion, or even a mistake made during installation causes concrete surfaces to shift over time. These shifting surfaces can lead to a number of issues with concrete that can be both dangerous and aesthetically unpleasing, such as cracks and uneven surfaces that are tripping hazards. The damage that results from unlevel concrete can also speed up additional deterioration on a concrete floor, driveway, or sidewalk. Cement Floor leveling is the process used to smooth out uneven surfaces. It is an important procedure to complete when you have noticed damage to your concrete, but also if you are preparing to install new flooring over the existing foundation. Here are some of the signs that your property requires concrete leveling. When to Schedule Cement Floor Leveling in Colorado The purpose of cement floor leveling is to fix uneven surfaces. Many of the damages that occur to the concrete are actually caused by an uneven surface, meaning that there are often visible signs to indicate that you need cement floor leveling. These signs include: Cracks in Concrete – Cracks develop when […]
