Can adjustments be made on a concrete leveling pad?
Minor inconsistencies on a concrete leveling pad will not usually create much of a problem. However, if there are noticeable differences in block height as the units are placed due to low pots in the leveling pad, a thin layer of sand or mortar may be used to help the leveling process. High point inconsistencies may require some grinding. Make all adjustments as gradual as possible. Before you begin laying the base course, be sure to check that the leveling pad is level front to back. Make corrections as needed, especially if the back of the footing is higher than the front. It is important to note, that taking the time to accurately level and finish off the concrete leveling pad will allow for minimal adjustment time and greatly speed up the installation process.
