Concrete Patio Leveling in Seattle

Uneven patios are more than a cosmetic issue. Sunken slabs can create trip hazards, cause water to pool against the house, and make outdoor furniture feel unstable. Concrete patio leveling lifts settled sections and restores a smooth, usable surface without the cost of full replacement.

If the slab is still structurally sound, leveling is often the fastest way to improve safety and drainage. A local inspection can confirm whether lifting or replacement is the better option for your patio.

Signs your patio needs leveling

• Low spots that collect water after rain
• Uneven edges between slabs or steps
• Gaps opening between the patio and the house
• Trip hazards along walkways or door thresholds

Why patios settle in Seattle

Soil movement, poor compaction, and drainage issues can cause patio slabs to sink over time. Downspout discharge, leaking irrigation, and heavy rain can wash out soil under the slab and create voids that lead to settlement.

Patio leveling methods

Leveling typically involves drilling small holes and injecting grout or foam to raise the slab back into place. In some cases, grinding or resurfacing is used to smooth minor elevation changes. A contractor will recommend the best method based on the slab condition and finish.

Leveling vs replacement

Concrete patio leveling works best when the slab is intact but uneven. If there is severe cracking, crumbling, or widespread spalling, replacement may be a better long-term investment.

Matching finishes and design

Patio leveling can preserve stamped or stained finishes so your outdoor space stays cohesive. When repairs are needed, we can blend colors and textures to keep the patio looking consistent with the rest of your landscape.
