The Cause

sunken concrete slabs settlement and movement can be caused by building on expansive clay, improperly compacted fill soils, or improper maintenance around foundations.

When unstable soils are used as a base for a foundation, the tendency for movement is transmitted to the foundation.

Since soil movement is rarely uniform, the foundation is subjected to a differential or upheaval. Problems occur, however, when only part of the slab settles. Then, the differential movement causes cracks or other damages.

The Problem

In residential properties, sunken concrete problems can result in potential damage to the structure, potential accidents, and loss of real estate value. Poor drainage, tripping hazards, rough floors, unsightly cracks, and equipment malfunctions may also result from concrete slab settlement.

The Solution

A pattern of holes, approximately 1 inch in diameter, are drilled through the sunken concrete slab.  A specialized blend of grout is pumped under low pressure under the slab using a hose with a nozzle that fits into the holes.

Once any cavities or voids are filled, the grout becomes pressurized, hydraulically raising the slab to the desired height.

Rather than tearing up and replacing the sunken concrete or pouring new concrete over the existing sunken concrete we at ACME PRO CONCRETE LIFTING INC. will raise your sunken concrete, and save you money. We guarantee it!
