The process of concrete lifting is relatively simple. First, small holes are drilled in the sunken or uneven slab. Then, the special material is injected through the holes and into the void underneath the slab. As the material expands, it “jacks” the slab back into its original position.
The material used for concrete slab lifting is strong and durable, and it can withstand heavy loads and extreme weather conditions. Once the material has hardened, it stabilizes the slab and prevents future sinking or settling.
While it's common knowledge that houses can settle over time, signs of a sinking foundation can't be brushed off. Homes rest on several layers of soil. When soil can no longer handle the weight of your home, your foundation will begin to settle into the earth. When ignored, a sinking foundation compromises the structural integrity of your home. While foundation experts are needed to assess and repair a sinking foundation, homeowners can often spot sinking foundation signs on their own. Here's a guide to help you detect the signs.
