This is A-1 Concrete Leveling and Foundation Repair (Western New York Division) presentation given at the Facility Management Expo from the Buffalo New York area. It shows some of the almost 1300 Projects that have been completed over the last four years. There are before and after pictures from some of the almost 7200 slabs that we have raised.

What is the A-1 Advantage?
The most modern concrete leveling techniques!The 1” diameter holes that are drilled
through the slab are the smallest in the industry
Smaller hole size avoids weakening the slabs or raising the slabs too quickly
A-1 fills the void completely and raises the slab safely
What is the A-1 Advantage?
The most environmentally responsible material in concrete leveling!Limestone-based slurry used to raise
sunken concrete is natures’ original green material and has stood the test of timeUsed by farmers to fertilize cropsUsed over 3000 years ago to build the
pyramids!Limestone is natural and won’t disturb the
landscape; in fact, it may help…everyone has received a mailer offering “organic lime treatment” for the lawn
What is the A-1 Advantage?

Better for replacement?Too damaged to bring long-term value with
leveling
Better for replacement?
More slabs would need to be addressed to eliminate issue than is cost-effective vs. replacement
Surface too deteriorated (aesthetics)
