Homes can often be difficult to keep up with. Just when you’ve gotten one thing fixed, something else breaks. It’s understandable if you want to put a repair job on the back burner while you try to solve other problems around your home. You might be wondering just how long you can wait to get […]
When driveway cracks are caused by settling or uneven concrete, polyurethane foam lifting is one of the most effective long-term repair solutions. The process involves drilling small holes in the slab and injecting high-density polyurethane foam beneath the concrete. As the foam expands, it fills voids, lifts the slab back toward its proper position, and […]
How long it takes for the slabs on your property to settle is not something that can be easily predicted. This is because there are too many factors involved that can influence how the soil on a property behaves and how it affects the concrete. Two homes built right next to each other, at the […]
Who is in charge of sidewalk repairs—you or the city? Your driveway is no doubt part of your property, but what about the sidewalk? City Responsibilities If it’s considered public property, it is the city’s responsibility to keep the sidewalk repaired and safe so the residents can walk on it without getting injured.

Slab foundations are inexpensive and easy to build, making them a popular foundation choice for many. Unfortunately, they are capable of settling just like any of the slabs on your property.

These other methods are problematic, and the materials used aren’t as good as polyurethane foam. Many contractors still cling to the old way of doing things despite there being better solutions. That, and many contractors […]
Mold is more than just a cosmetic stain on your concrete. It’s a health hazard and can have a profound effect on the lives of you and your family members. If you spot a mold stain on your concrete, then you need to act fast because mold is a lot more dangerous than you might […]
Concrete pitting, flaking, and staining can debilitate your concrete. But can it cause concrete settling? The truth is, it can’t. Concrete settling has nothing to do with the concrete itself and everything to do with the soil under the slab. It can accelerate the settling process but not actually cause it. How It Accelerates Settling […]
To help prevent concrete pitting, flaking, and staining, limit the concrete’s exposure to water by improving drainage so that runoff flows away from slabs. In winter, shovel snow promptly and maintain gutters and downspouts to reduce freeze-thaw damage and excess moisture.
