Your home’s foundation is – without a doubt – it’s most important feature. In fact, your home’s structural integrity literally rests upon it. That’s why it’s important to spot foundation issues early, before they have a chance to develop into big problems that will cost a lot of money to fix.
Believe it or not, the vast majority of foundation problems are caused by either too much, or too little water, under and around the foundation. Both will eventually lead to differential settlement which can cause serious structural damage.
An uneven concrete sidewalk, driveway, pool deck, or any other type of slab, is an unsightly trip hazard that lowers your property value and puts you at risk of a lawsuit should someone get injured. Therefore, this isn’t a repair you want to postpone for very long.
It wasn’t that long ago that uneven slabs were fixed either by replacing them, or via a repair method commonly referred to as “mudjacking”. However, both these solutions have serious drawbacks, and that’s why, today, almost all sunken slabs are lifted via polyurethane foam injection.
Mudjacking uses a slurry made of cement, soil, and water to lift the slab. The main problem with mudjacking is the fact that the slurry contains cement, which is very heavy. If the slab sank because the soil couldn’t support it, what do you think will happen if you add even more weight to the soil via a cement slurry?
These drawbacks are why, today, almost all sunken slabs are lifted and leveled via polyurethane foam injection. It’s fast, minimally-invasive, and as soon as the repair is complete – usually in only a few hours – you can immediately begin using the slab again. It’s also a green solution because the foam will not leach harmful chemicals into the soil.
Florida’s beachfront homes are subject to erosion, and seawalls form an effective barrier between water and land. The problem is, seawalls themselves will suffer erosion over time. This is caused by extreme weather, tidal fluctuations, and a slowly-rising sea level.
