8 Important Reasons to Raise Your Concrete Slab

levelling concrete slab

Safety

An uneven concrete slab (concrete sideway, concrete driveway) can be a tripping hazard and a risk for your family and friends while also creating an undesirable liability issue on your property.

Cost

You can usually raise your concrete for less than half the price of replacing the concrete slab. It can also extend the lifetime of your concrete slab by years if not decades as the stabilizing effect of the foam also prevents cracking.

Time

Your concrete slab problem will only worsen in time, fix it now and avoid the hassle later. Raising and levelling your concrete with poly foam often takes a couple of hours and is ready to use in less than an hour after completion.

Appearance

Structural cracks and sinking concrete, which result from uneven concrete, are not very pleasing . By raising your concrete slab, you improve the appearance of your property and helps improve it’s overall look.

Home Value

Trying to sell your home? If the first thing potential buyers see is a crooked sidewalk or driveway it only raises other questions. Questions that wouldn’t be raised if you raised your concrete slab to begin with! First appearance is everything to a home buyer so make sure your home has curb appeal by having a level concrete driveway and/or concrete sidewalks.

Structural Damage

When a concrete slab settles, consequently doors and windows stick and structures connected to the slab may crack and settle as well. This can damage foundations, make doors unusable or even potentially lead to water problems.

Water Damage

Water follows the path of least resistance and a settled or sunken driveway may end up costing a homeowner more money over time in foundation repairs. If your sidewalks or driveways are sloping towards your home or foundation it can lead to major problems.

Be Green

By raising your concrete, you are saving your current slab from being torn out and deposited at a landfill.

Mud Jacking – The Two Biggest Issues

Before I talk about mud jacking, I have to remind you we do poly foam jacking, so we have a bias.

Foamjacking VS Mudjacking

Why Foamjacking VS Mudjacking? We often have people ask if we do mudjacking and we have to explain that we use a similar service called foam jacking. While there are many differences between using foam (a specialized formula of polyurethane foam to be specific) and using mud (more like a slurry of concrete, gravel and […]
