Pier And Beam Foundation Repair: A Handy Guide

Concrete Leveling and Lifting

Sunken concrete sidewalks, pool decks, and driveways are pretty unsightly. However, they’re more than that. They not only lower your property value, they’re also a safety hazard. If someone trips and breaks an arm, you could find yourself facing a lawsuit. So, this isn’t a repair you want to postpone.

Sunken, unlevel, concrete slabs used to be repaired by either digging them up and replacing them with new slabs, or via a technique referred to as ‘’mudjacking’’. Neither one was the ideal solution though.

Digging up and replacing a sidewalk – or any other concrete slab – is a time-consuming fix. When you pour new concrete, you need to wait for it to dry and harden. While you’re doing that, you can’t use the slab. It’s ‘’out of commission’’. Also, if the old slab was sinking because the soil under it was weak, and unable to support it, the same thing is going to happen with the new slab.
Mudjacking is a repair technique that involves injecting a slurry – made up of soil, water, and cement – under the slab in order to lift it back into position. The problem with this repair method is the weight of the slurry. It’s pretty heavy because it contains cement. If the soil under the slab was already struggling to support it, placing a cement slurry on top of it certainly isn’t going to help.

Today, most sunken concrete slabs are lifted and leveled using polyurethane foam injection. This involves injecting a very lightweight foam under the slab in order to lift it. The procedure is minimally invasive and as soon as the repair is done, you can start using the slab again. 

Seawall Repair

A seawall protects your Florida beachfront property from erosion. However, seawalls themselves can erode over time from extreme weather, tidal fluctuations, and a very slowly rising sea level. If your seawall is starting to fail, contact us today and we’ll come out for an inspection and free estimate.
