Serving Scottsdale and nearby communities.

Concrete floor leveling is the prep step that makes a coating last. Caliche soil settling is common across older Scottsdale slabs. It shows up as dips, high spots, or water pooling in a garage corner.

Scottsdale Epoxy Experts levels the slab before any epoxy, polyaspartic, or polyurea coating goes down. A coating poured over an uneven base will crack, pool water, or peel at the high points within a year or two. Leveling first means the finish holds up instead of failing early.

What's included

What's Included with Concrete Floor Leveling

Typically included: elevation survey, surface cleaning, crack pre-treatment, self-leveling compound pour, smoothing, and cure inspection. Optional: fiber-reinforced compound for slabs with a history of cracking, moisture mitigation primer for slabs with known vapor issues. Customer prep: clear the garage or room of vehicles and stored items before the crew arrives.

How it works

Our process

  1. Floor Elevation Survey photo
    Step 1

    Floor Elevation Survey

    A survey identifies low spots and height variations across the slab.

  2. Surface Cleaning photo
    Step 2

    Surface Cleaning

    Dust and debris are removed to allow leveling compound to bond properly.

  3. Crack Pre-Treatment photo
    Step 3

    Crack Pre-Treatment

    Existing cracks are addressed before leveling material is poured.

  4. Self-Leveling Pour photo
    Step 4

    Self-Leveling Pour

    A self-leveling compound is poured and spread across uneven areas.

  5. Smoothing & Finishing photo
    Step 5

    Smoothing & Finishing

    The leveling compound is smoothed to achieve a flat, uniform surface.

  6. Cure Time & Inspection photo
    Step 6

    Cure Time & Inspection

    The leveled floor is left to cure and then inspected for flatness.

Materials

Materials and methods we use

  • Self-Leveling Underlayment photo

    Self-Leveling Underlayment

    A flowable compound fills low spots and creates a flat substrate.

  • Fast-Setting Leveler photo

    Fast-Setting Leveler

    A quick-setting formula reduces downtime between leveling and coating.

  • Bonding Primer photo

    Bonding Primer

    A primer improves adhesion between old concrete and new leveling material.

  • Fiber-Reinforced Compound photo

    Fiber-Reinforced Compound

    Fiber additives increase strength and reduce cracking in the leveling layer.

  • Polymer-Modified Mix photo

    Polymer-Modified Mix

    A polymer blend improves flexibility and durability of the leveled surface.

  • Moisture Mitigation Primer photo

    Moisture Mitigation Primer

    A primer reduces moisture transmission from the slab into new layers.

FAQs

Concrete Floor Leveling FAQs

How much does concrete floor leveling cost in Scottsdale?

Pricing depends on square footage and how uneven the slab is. Minor leveling runs a few hundred dollars. Larger areas with significant settling cost more. A free estimate gives you an exact number.

How long does floor leveling take before I can coat it?

Most leveling pours cure for 24 to 48 hours before a coating system can go on top.

Do I need a permit for floor leveling?

Cosmetic leveling over an existing slab typically doesn't need one. Leveling tied to structural settling may call for an inspection first.

Is DIY floor leveling realistic?

Self-leveling compound sets fast once mixed. Getting an even pour across a full garage without experience is tough. Small spot patches are more forgiving.

What causes uneven slabs in Scottsdale?

Caliche soil settling is the most common cause, especially in older homes where the ground has shifted over the years.

Does every job need leveling?

No. We check the slab with an elevation survey first. A flat, sound slab can skip straight to coating.
