Driveways and garage approaches
A settled driveway panel can leave a lip at the garage or a low spot where water collects. The slab’s condition, garage threshold and drainage all matter. Lifting may be considered when the panel remains intact enough to move as a unit.
Sidewalks and steps
Uneven walking surfaces can present a trip hazard. Root pressure, settlement and public-right-of-way requirements can change the appropriate repair. Steps and landings also need attention to consistent rise heights and how they connect to the building.
Patios and outdoor slabs
A patio that drains toward a foundation may require more than simply lifting a corner. Discuss the desired finished slope, nearby doors, adjoining walks and where runoff should go.
Garage floors and commercial slabs
A garage slab may be adjacent to foundation walls or carry vehicle loads; commercial slabs can have access and operational constraints. Those conditions require project-specific evaluation rather than a blanket promise that every slab can be lifted.
What is outside a simple leveling job
Severe disintegration, widespread structural cracking or an unresolved drainage problem may call for replacement or another specialist. Ask what the proposed work does and does not address before agreeing to a repair.
