Central Fremont Area Slab Jacking Services

If a section of your concrete walkway, veranda or driveway has sunken under where it once was, they can handle that too. They make use of a technique called mud jacking (also called slabjacking).

Mud jacking is a process of forcefully injecting a caulk-like compound under the sunken slab. This caulk takes up space under the slab and forces the slab to rise up.

When finished, your sidewalk, veranda or driveway will look a whole lot better when each of the sections are back to the same height, and nobody will be stumbling and tripping on them any more either.

What Causes These Issues?

Even though you can’t see it take place, the ground under and around our home moves somewhat over time. It might contract and stretch.

This happens largely because of the exposure to moisture and temperature changes. Moving soil might prompt a structure to somewhat sink down - model

And while this activity is really small and gradual, these contraction and expansion motions can put stress on whatever structure rests on top of (or even in) that earth. And over time, this persistent pressure might impact the integrity of just about any kind of solid building.

While you can’t influence the weather or the elements or the physical qualities of our Bay Area soil, there are some things you can do.

Two beneficial measures to take include ensuring the lot where your home sits is properly graded and has a decent drainage plan and you have put in a good gutter system to move that rain water away from your house.

The composition of the dirt your home was constructed on is a large issue too. Some types of soil swell more than others do when it gets wet.

Fortunately, around the East Bay, the dirt isn’t as absorbent as it could be, so it doesn’t expand or contract so much.

Gradual, but consistent, ecological pressure might bring about small-scale cracks in your home’s structure. These small cracks allow dampness and tiny bugs, and those smallish cracks can grow wider each year.

Can I Wait Before I Do Something About It?

When you have an issue at your house, you really should have it inspected pretty soon and fixed if it is called for.

The home inspection, at a minimum, isn’t something you should put off.

A basement problem is not going to improve over time all by itself. It will normally get worse.

You could be able to wait on getting the repair work started, but it could be best to deal with it now.

When you’ve got rainwater often leaking into your basement, that may cause problems such as mold. And a mold problem will only grow worse each year too.

It isn’t an issue you ought to dismiss and let the following owner worry about.

If your house for sale displays any signs which suggests it might have a structural condition, almost all property buyers will not be interested in it. Buyers are afraid that this house might need a big repair.

And, when you are planning to sell your home, it’s a seller’s obligation to let a potential buyer know about any physical issues with your house.

A homeowner frequently believes his or her structure trouble is going to be almost impossible and really expensive to fix, but, almost always, a professional California contractor can have the condition addressed.

Many times the process might get pretty complex, but it can get accomplished.
