Sinking concrete is often caused by excessive weight, expansion, and contraction due to changes in the weather, and erosion of supporting soil due to the movement of water below the surface. When concrete sinks, you are left with dangerous tripping hazards and potential water pooling issues that could accelerate soil settlement.<\/p>\n
At Yellowstone Structural Systems, we strive to offer our customers affordable repair options that avoid invasive concrete replacement. If you need to fix cracked or uneven concrete, reach out to our team. We can schedule your free inspection<\/a> and give you an exact price for the best solution.<\/p>\n Concrete is heavy, so it\u2019s no surprise that the soil beneath it eventually can\u2019t support the weight anymore. Soil conditions, in one way or another, are almost always the culprit for sinking concrete. Extreme weather that causes frost heave or overly dry soil makes the dirt expand and contract, moving the concrete with it. It\u2019s also very common for soil to develop voids, which the slabs then settle into.<\/p>\n Mudjacking is a traditional concrete leveling technique used by many concrete repair companies. The problem that we have with mudjacking, however, is that it\u2019s heavy. The process involves injecting a \u201cmud\u201d solution under your concrete slabs. While this does level them back out, it\u2019s not a permanent solution. Eventually, the same settling problem will happen again because the soil cannot support the added weight.<\/p>\n At Yellowstone Structural Systems, our experts recommend the tried-and-true permanent solution for concrete leveling: polyurethane foam injections. Installed just like mudjacking, the process is simple and can be achieved in one day. However, poly foam is much better than mudjacking. Its lightweight formula fills voids in the soil without adding extra weight. Plus, it\u2019s resistant to damage from moisture issues in the soil.<\/p>\n Protect your home from tripping hazards and decreasing real estate value.
