Concrete Driveway Leveling in Seattle

Uneven or sunken slabs can turn a driveway into a trip hazard and cause water to pool near the garage. Concrete driveway leveling lifts settled panels and restores a smooth slope without a full replacement. If the slab is structurally sound, leveling is often the fastest way to improve safety and drainage.

Seattle weather and soil movement can cause sections of a driveway to settle over time. A professional inspection will confirm whether a section can be lifted or if replacement is the better long-term option.

Signs your driveway needs leveling

• Sunken panels or uneven edges between slabs
• Water pooling or drainage that flows toward the garage
• Trip hazards near the sidewalk or garage entrance
• Gaps opening between the driveway and adjoining slabs

Driveway leveling vs replacement

Concrete driveway leveling works best when the slab is intact but uneven. If the surface is severely cracked, crumbling, or has widespread spalling, replacement may be a better investment. Our team can evaluate the condition and recommend the right fix for your property.

How the leveling process works

Leveling typically involves drilling small holes, injecting a grout or foam material under the slab, and lifting it back into place. This method is often called slabjacking or foam lifting. Once the slab is level, the holes are patched and joints are sealed to reduce water intrusion.

Cost factors in Seattle

Pricing depends on the size of the affected area, access for equipment, the depth of the voids, and whether drainage corrections are needed. A site visit is the best way to get an accurate estimate.
