If your crawl space is wet, they will find out why it’s happening and how to stop it.

New Mexico Mudjacking (Concrete Slab Lifting) Service

Some property owners realize a section of their concrete walkway, patio, driveway or garage has sunken a little bit over the years.

If this has happened at your property, they can usually fix it by a procedure often called mud jacking or slabjacking.

In order to elevate your slab, they drive a mud-like substance down under the section of the lowest slab. This filler expands, stiffens and shoves your concrete up to the perfect position.

After each of your sidewalk, terrace and driveway slab sections are all the same level again, it’s going to look even better.

And no one will be stumbling and tripping on them any more either.

Why Is This Problem Happening to Me?

Well, it’s simply the way our soil behaves.

The soil that is directly below your property routinely alters, shifts and moves a little. It broadens and contracts according to exposure to moisture and temperature.

This continual expansion and contraction of the ground puts tremendous force on even a solid home.

While you can’t control the elements or the science of soil, there are things you can do.

Two handy measures to take include making sure the lot where your home sits is properly graded and it has a suitable drainage plan and you have hooked up a reliable gutter system to move that rain water away from your home.

The particular physical characteristics of soil your home was built on is also a prime element as well.

Some varieties of soil will swell up more than others will when they get wet.

Unfortunately, in much of Texas and into New Mexico, our soil characteristics are classified as mid-to-highly absorbent. This means our soil can absorb too much water and then contract too much when it gets dry.

Growing a big tree too close to your home might even spark a problem in a few cases.

Your hefty tree may have long roots that might grow underneath your home and adds pressure on your slab, and could even impact water lines.

In some cases, the expansive roots from a major tree could even suck up a lot of moisture from the dirt beneath your structure during our really dry and hot summers.

These kinds of ecological force may bring about tiny cracking in your home’s structure.

These small cracks allow in humidness and little bugs, and these smaller cracks can get larger as time goes on.

Do I Need to Get My Place Inspected?

Look, when you’ve got some questions with your house which is concerning you, just get a local contractor to at least examine it.

At least you’ll know what you are facing.

It could be you don’t actually have a major problem and you don’t have to get it fixed.

You may have been worrying for no reason.

You are better off having it looked at and at least knowing exactly what your situation is.

And you shouldn’t try to ignore it and hope that it goes away.

Because it won’t. Foundation crack repair is serious and you should deal with it sooner rather than later.

Remember, your foundation actually lifts up the entire house. The roof, walls and floors all depend on it.

Unless you care for it you might end up in a real situation in the future.

When you’ve got rain water gradually seeping into your crawlspace, that may cause complications like mold.

And a mold problem will only worsen over time too.

If you are looking into selling your house, keep in mind that nobody wants to purchase a property which has a structural issue or has telltale signs of water seepage in the crawl space.

And if you know your place has a structure problem, you’re obliged to inform the buyer of what it is.

You wouldn’t want that buyer coming back after you when the sale is finished.

In spite of how terrible your situation may appear, almost all situations can usually get corrected.

Some jobs are tougher than other ones and some may require a complex process, but they can be done.

So try to not worry until you have your property inspected.
