Driveway Re-levelling

What is Concrete Driveway Re-levelling? – Concrete Driveway Repair, Relevelling, Cracks, Sinking & Subsidence

If your driveway is showing signs of subsidence—such as cracking, sinking, or uneven surfaces—driveway re-levelling may be the solution you need.

Mainmark offers expert driveway re-levelling services that are fast, reliable, and cost-effective. Our innovative approach restores your driveway’s level and stability with minimal disruption, ensuring your property is both functional and visually appealing.

Driveway subsidence can lead to various issues, from water pooling in low areas and difficult access to potentially rendering the driveway unusable. It can also affect the curb appeal of your home. Mainmark’s Teretek® resin injection technology addresses the cause of the problem by:

  • Ground improvement: Our treatments increase the soil’s load-bearing capacity, preventing further subsidence.
  • Lifting and re-levelling: We gently lift sunken concrete slabs, bringing your driveway back to level.
  • Void filling: We inject resin into voids beneath the driveway, filling gaps and strengthening the foundation.

With our advanced driveway re-levelling process, your driveway will not only be a smooth, attractive feature of your home but also a stable, durable surface for your vehicles.

 

Why is Driveway Re-levelling Necessary?

If your driveway is showing signs of subsidence—such as cracking, sinking, or uneven surfaces—driveway re-levelling may be the solution you need.

Driveway subsidence often occurs due to the ground beneath shrinking, eroding, or settling unevenly. Several factors can cause subsidence, including:

  • Poor construction: If the driveway was not built on a proper base or compacted adequately, it may sink over time.
  • Weather conditions: Drought can cause soil to shrink, while heavy rain or flooding can erode the ground, leading to subsidence.
  • Heavy traffic: Vibrations from nearby traffic or parking heavier-than-expected vehicles on your driveway can compact the soil and cause it to sink.
  • Historical land use: Past activities such as mining or fracking may leave the ground unstable, leading to subsidence.

No matter the cause, it’s important to seek expert help for driveway re-levelling as soon as possible. Ignoring the issue can result in further damage to your driveway, and it could also be a sign of subsidence beneath your home.

The experienced team at Mainmark will assess the situation and provide the most effective solution to relevel your driveway and your home, if necessary.

 

Driveway Re-levelling FAQ’s
Does your Driveway need Re-levelling?

Driveway defects commonly occur when concrete slabs sink or become uneven, creating a hazardous “lip” between sections. These issues not only pose a serious trip hazard but can also lead to irreversible structural damage if left unaddressed.

The most frequent cause of concrete driveway failure is poor compaction of the underlying fill during construction or the repeated impact of vehicular loads over time, which leads to slab subsidence.

In some cases, failures are caused by tree roots growing beneath the concrete, disrupting its stability, or by broken downpipes that erode the subgrade, causing the slabs to sink.

Fortunately, these issues can be resolved quickly and affordably with Mainmark’s resin injection methods. This concrete driveway re-levelling process is efficient, often completed within half a day, and costs significantly less than replacing the entire slab—all with minimal disruption.

Benefits of Concrete Re-levelling

Cost-Effective:
Concrete re-levelling is typically much cheaper than completely replacing the driveway. The process can save you up to 50-70% of the cost of a new slab.

Quick and Convenient:
Re-levelling a concrete driveway usually takes just a few hours, and you can use your driveway almost immediately after the repair, minimising downtime.

Improves Safety:
Uneven slabs create trip hazards that can cause injuries. Re-levelling removes these risks and makes the driveway safer for you and your visitors.

Prevents Further Damage:
Addressing uneven slabs early prevents additional cracking and sinking, which can lead to more costly repairs or full replacement down the road.

Environmentally Friendly:
Re-levelling reuses your existing concrete rather than disposing of old slabs and pouring new ones, reducing waste.

When Concrete Re-levelling Is Worth It?
  • The driveway has extensive cracks, crumbling, or severe structural damage.
  • The subgrade problems, such as erosion or poor drainage, are too severe to be fixed without replacement.
  • The concrete is very old and nearing the end of its lifespan, making replacement a more durable option.
When Concrete Re-levelling May Not Be Worth It?
  • The driveway has extensive cracks, crumbling, or severe structural damage.
  • The subgrade problems, such as erosion or poor drainage, are too severe to be fixed without replacement.
  • The concrete is very old and nearing the end of its lifespan, making replacement a more durable option.
