Serving Tucson and nearby communities.

A lot of Tucson homes and shops sit on slabs poured decades apart in age, and settling, shifting soil, or old patch jobs leave low spots that no coating can hide on its own. Tucson Epoxy Elite levels those surfaces before anything gets coated, because a coating applied over an uneven slab just telegraphs the dip right back through the finish.

Leveling isn't a cosmetic extra here, it's the difference between a coat that lasts and one that cracks at the low point within a year.

What's included

What's included with Concrete Floor Leveling

Typically included: elevation survey, surface cleaning, crack pre-treatment, and a self-leveling compound pour across the low areas. Optional: full-slab leveling for severe cases, fiber-reinforced mix for added strength, and moisture mitigation primer under the leveler. Customer prep: clear the floor space completely and keep the area closed off during the cure window.

How it works

How our Concrete Floor Leveling process works

  1. Floor Elevation Survey photo
    Step 1

    Floor Elevation Survey

    We map the slab with a level to find exactly where the low spots sit.

  2. Surface Cleaning photo
    Step 2

    Surface Cleaning

    Dust and loose debris get swept and vacuumed so the leveler bonds cleanly.

  3. Crack Pre-Treatment photo
    Step 3

    Crack Pre-Treatment

    Existing cracks are addressed first since pouring leveler over an active crack just hides a problem that resurfaces later.

  4. Self-Leveling Pour photo
    Step 4

    Self-Leveling Pour

    The compound is poured and spreads to find its own flat line across the uneven areas.

  5. Smoothing & Finishing photo
    Step 5

    Smoothing & Finishing

    Crews work the surface with trowels and smoothers to catch any high or thin spots.

  6. Cure Time & Inspection photo
    Step 6

    Cure Time & Inspection

    The floor sits undisturbed to cure, then gets checked with a level before any coating goes on top.

Materials

Materials and methods for Concrete Floor Leveling

  • Self-Leveling Underlayment photo

    Self-Leveling Underlayment

    Flows into low spots on its own, a practical fix for Tucson's mix of older slabs that have settled unevenly over the decades.

  • Fast-Setting Leveler photo

    Fast-Setting Leveler

    Cures quickly in Tucson's dry heat, which keeps the overall project timeline shorter for homeowners wanting the coating done soon after.

  • Bonding Primer photo

    Bonding Primer

    Locks new leveling compound to old, sometimes decades-old, concrete so the two layers don't separate later.

  • Fiber-Reinforced Compound photo

    Fiber-Reinforced Compound

    Adds strength for garage slabs carrying vehicle weight, reducing the odds of the leveled surface cracking under load.

  • Polymer-Modified Mix photo

    Polymer-Modified Mix

    Gives the leveled layer some flex, useful on Tucson slabs that still shift slightly with seasonal heat and monsoon moisture.

  • Moisture Mitigation Primer photo

    Moisture Mitigation Primer

    Blocks ground moisture from pushing up through older slabs, a common issue on properties with aging vapor barriers.

When to call

  • You're planning a new coating and want it to actually hold up long term.

FAQs

Concrete Floor Leveling FAQs

How do I know if my floor needs leveling before coating?

If you can see standing water after rain, feel dips underfoot, or a prior coating cracked at a low point, leveling is usually the fix. We check this during the walkthrough with a level, not a guess.

Does leveling add much to the total project cost?

It adds a line item, but skipping it on a slab that needs it usually costs more later in coating repairs. We quote leveling separately so you see exactly what it adds.

Can leveling fix a slab with a slope toward a garage door?

Minor slope correction is possible with self-leveling compound, but major grade issues may need a different structural fix. We'll flag that honestly if it's beyond what leveling solves.

How long before I can coat the floor after leveling?

Most leveling compounds cure enough for coating application within a day or two in Tucson's dry climate, though we confirm exact timing on-site based on the product used.

Will leveling crack again over time?

A properly prepped and primed leveling job, paired with crack treatment first, holds up well. Skipping prep steps is what leads to repeat cracking.
