Concrete lifting is useful for repairing uneven surfaces. A contractor will drill a series of holes in the surface, then pump in a mixture of grout and concrete to the empty area underneath. This creates a natural lift that levels the slab, eliminating the need for complete demolition. Below are a few common ways contractors use concrete lifting to repair properties.

3 Scenarios That Would Benefit From Concrete Lifting

1. Sunken Patio

Several factors can cause patios to sink. A heavy rainstorm can wash away soil beneath the concrete. Additionally, if the soil wasn’t well compacted before the concrete was poured, it will eventually fail to support the weight of the material. Concrete lifting will supply a solid replacement for any soil that may be missing and prevent potential injuries by evening out the surface.

2. Uneven Garage Floor

Improper drainage is usually the culprit in this type of scenario. If the landscape design doesn’t accommodate water runoff, then puddles will likely form along the foundation and wear away the soil until the garage floor begins to sink. Concrete lifting will support the floor, restoring the structure to its original condition.

3. Caved-In Driveway

Like with patios, the soil under driveways may have been loose during installation and is now settling. If that’s not the issue, the underlying bed of crushed stone may have shifted. Concrete lifting will fill in any gaps that may have developed and make the surface of the driveway level once again.
