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. It highlights not only the 50% to 70% cost savings versus replacement but also the advantage to the A-1 Concrete Leveling system. The expo was focused on providing solutions to property managers, commercial property owners and industrial customers.
2. 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
3. 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 time
Used by farmers to fertilize crops
Used 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
4. What is the A-1 Advantage?
A-1 Concrete Leveling is
America’s Premier Concrete
Leveling Company…
A-1’s patented Concrete
Leveling System has been
perfected over the last 30
