Quail Hill Concrete Slab Lifting Repair

If a section of your cement pavement, courtyard or patio has sunk below where it’s supposed to be, they can get that adjusted.

The procedure is generally known as slab jacking.

(Contractors call it mudjacking because they like to think of wet cement as mud.)

During the mudjacking process, they force a mud-like mixture underneath the portion of your concrete that needs to be brought up.

That thick compound fills the spaces under the slab, hardens and pressures the slab up. Rather cool.

Sometimes a homeowner wants slab jacking done mainly in an attempt to improve the look of their property, but cement slab lifting can help to eliminate accidental trips which result from walking on uneven pavement sections.

Many jobs are completed in one morning or afternoon.

What’s Causing These Problems?

Even if you can never see it happening, the ground under our homes moves a little over the years.

It expands and contracts. This happens largely because of exposure to water and temperature.

And even though this movement is small and slow, these constrictions and expansions can load pressure on whatever structure is in or on top of the ground.

And over time, this repetitive stress could affect the integrity of even a solid home.

As you can’t control the weather here in central Orange County, having your house sitting on a yard which has lousy drainage or unsuitable grading can be large reasons in whether or not you see a nasty structure problem at your home.

Simply getting decent rain gutters can help keep unwanted rain water away from your house. It’s a very easy remedy that can have a big effect.

The brand of soil your house was constructed on can be a crucial aspect as well.

Particular sorts of soil swell more than others when they get exposed to water.

Once in a while, something as outwardly innocent as having a large tree next to your home might result one day in a complication.

The roots of a large tree may extend under a house, press up against the concrete and also extract too much moisture from the soil during our hot, dry summer months, making the earth under the home too dry and compacted.

These types of external stress might contribute to little cracks in your home’s foundation.

These very small cracks let in humidity and tiny insects, and these smaller cracks may get larger as time passes.

Is It Okay To Wait on an Inspection?

At the very least you’ll know what you are facing.

Do not ignore it. Your foundation supports your complete home.

Your entire house, the walls, the floors as well as the roofing all count on it.

Moisture consistently seeping under a building will cause trouble including mold. And mold doesn’t get any better on its own.

It only gets worse.
