Mudjacking or Concrete Slab Lifting in Central Fremont

If a part of your cement terrace, front walk or garage floor has sunken down over the years, they could generally repair that too.

The procedure used is known as mud jacking (many companies call it slab jacking).

Mudjacking is an operation in which you shoot a mud-like material under the sunken cement slab. This filler is thick enough to gently push the slab back up to the preferred height.

Often homeowners would like slabjacking done primarily in order to enhance the look of their property, but concrete slab lifting can cut down on mishaps and trips from having uneven segments and it could aid with other issues, such as poor drainage, also. Almost all of these jobs are finished in one morning or afternoon.

Why Does This Problem Occur?

Well, it’s mostly the physical properties of the ground.

The earth underneath your structure changes and moves around. It swells and shrinks with exposure to water and temperature changes.

These changes are super slow and negligible, however they can be constant. This persistent expanding and contraction of the ground is straining for even recently constructed houses.

Most property owners don’t experience significant structure or water issues, but a few do. There are a few things a homeowner can do to help avoid troubles.

First they can make sure the lot their house sits on is properly graded to lead rain water away from their house. And they can make sure they have gutters that collects all the rain that lands on their home and move it away from their home as well.

One of the leading variables which will affect this situation is something that the property owner can’t influence. It’s the absorbency of the soil that his house is built on.

Soil which will absorb and soak up lots of water will expand more than soil that doesn’t hold water well. Folks are fairly fortunate here around the East Bay, most of the soil under our homes is not too absorbent.

Having a big tree too close to your residence could even cause a problem in some situations. Your hefty tree might have long roots that reach underneath your house and brings pressure on your slab, and could even conflict with water and sewer lines.

In a few cases, the considerable roots from a major tree might even suck an excessive amount of moisture from the dirt beneath your structure during our really dry Summers.

These types of environmental stress could contribute to the introduction of smaller cracks in the foundation of your home. And a very little cracking can let in moisture and has a way of growing into a big crack in time.

I Don’t Want to Deal With This Right Now

If you believe you could have an issue, you really should have it looked at. You may learn that what you were concerned about is not anything major.

But if you get it looked at, at least you’ll know for sure.

Cracks and other troubles with your basement are not likely to improve over time. It’s usually far better to get the obstacle fixed as soon as you can. Your complete house sits on the foundation, it deserves to be cared for.

And if you are seeing small amounts of water down in your basement on a fairly consistent basis, it could result in mold. And nobody wants a mold problem in their home.

If you believe you can simply list your home on the market without correcting the problem, that probably will not work. Indications of structure faults or wet basements will almost certainly discourage nearly every potential buyer aside from the most experienced home fixer.

And also, it’s the home seller’s duty to inform the buyer of any critical home defects. You won’t want to say later that you were told you have a bad situation, but you decided not to get it fixed.

Lots of scenarios which appear far too difficult to correct in the property owner’s opinion can generally be repaired. They may call for a sophisticated repair process, but they can get done.
