Tauranga
Concrete Levelling in Tauranga
Concrete slabs sink and settle over time as the ground beneath them shifts, erodes or compacts unevenly. Our concrete levelling services in Tauranga raise and stabilise sunken driveways, paths, patios and garage floors, removing trip hazards and restoring proper drainage without the cost of tearing out and repouring the slab.
We use proven levelling techniques suited to the size and condition of the slab, from pumping a stabilising material beneath the concrete to lift it back into position, through to more traditional methods for smaller or simpler jobs. In most cases, the existing slab can be reused, saving significant time and money compared to full replacement.
A level, even surface isn't just about appearance — it's also about safety and making sure water drains away from your property as it should. We identify the cause of the settling first, so the fix lasts rather than needing to be redone again in a year or two.

Methods
Tauranga Concrete Levelling Methods
The right levelling method depends on the size of the slab, how much it has settled, and what's causing the movement in the first place. In many cases, a stabilising material can be introduced beneath the slab to fill voids and lift it back to the correct level, while the underlying cause, such as poor drainage or eroded fill, is also addressed to reduce the chance of it happening again.
For smaller or more localised sinking, targeted repair and levelling can restore a safe, even surface without needing to lift the entire slab.
- Assessment of settling cause before levelling begins
- Stabilising material introduced beneath the slab where needed
- Restoration of correct slope and drainage
- Reuse of existing concrete wherever possible

Questions
Concrete Levelling FAQs
Quick answers before you book a site visit.
Why do concrete slabs sink or become uneven?
Common causes include poorly compacted fill beneath the slab, erosion from water runoff, tree root movement, and natural settling of the ground over time.
Can a sunken slab be levelled without replacing it?
In most cases, yes. Levelling techniques can raise and stabilise an existing slab, which is generally far more cost-effective than removing and repouring it.
How long does concrete levelling take?
Most residential levelling jobs can be completed within a day, depending on the size of the area and the extent of settling.
Will levelling fix drainage problems caused by a sunken slab?
Yes, restoring the correct level and slope is often exactly what's needed to get water draining away from a property properly again.
Is levelled concrete as strong as new concrete?
Levelling restores the position of the existing slab rather than its structural composition, so if the concrete itself is sound, it performs just as well once correctly levelled and supported.
