Causes of Concrete Damage
Sometimes, the combined weight of concrete and what it supports causes concrete settlement to occur. The soil beneath the concrete compresses and can cause major problems.
Soil washout refers to the erosion of soil due to water running along the topsoil. The water loosens up and displaces the soil’s particles. Said particles are then washed down the slope in the stream of water.
The reason you should care about soil washout as a homeowner is because the slabs that make up your driveway, patio, pool deck, and walkways are supported by a layer of soil. Even your foundation depends on an even layer of soil in order to stay stable.
The conditions of the soil on your property will affect how the concrete structures of your home behave. Soil washout displaces the soil that exists under your concrete, essentially removing its base. An uneven base can destabilize concrete structures and cause them to crack and break. Let’s chat more about what causes soil washout, and how it affects your property.

First and foremost, I NEVER write reviews; however, I found it necessary in this case because the two young men who came to perform the work were true professionals. Foreman Michael Kuffour and Co-foreman Alan Brown arrived on time! They professionally introduced themselves. I felt immediately at ease because once I directed them to the area that needed repair, they quickly communicated operation issues and recommended changes so that the work to be performed was accurately understood in layperson's terms. They utilized precision measuring instruments and fixtures to measure the dimensions of finished work pieces: downspouts and sump pump operations. They were extremely conscientious and ensured that work complied with all relevant codes, standards, and job specifications. They followed procedures to maintain the work environment neat and orderly. Mike, the Project Supervisor, arrived. Mike was knowledgeable and provided information on further work and any materials and equipment needed. He communicated ways to gain efficiencies and more effective installation methods in collaboration with us (the customer), which I greatly appreciated so that we could meet the goals and work towards a final resolution to our water problem. He inspected the Encapsulation work under the crawl space also. Once the meeting was over, I felt secure that the remainder of the result would be proficiently performed and up to code. I recommend JES to anyone, for they provide A-1 work. The guys that they sent were tens (10) in every sense. For this, I give them five stars ***** . Thank You

Josh Clarke came out to provide us with a quote for poly fill, and he was excellent to work with. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to thoroughly explain the process and answer all of our questions. We never felt rushed, and he made sure we understood exactly what he was seeing and what options were available. What stood out most was how personable and genuine he was. It’s clear that he cares about helping homeowners make informed decisions rather than simply making a sale. We really appreciated Josh’s honesty, professionalism, and the time he spent.

We are in the 19 month of an expected 3 month addition build and kitchen remodel. During the process major errors were made in our foundation for the addition that led to flooding and our new addition crawl space not even being able to pass inspection.Brian at JES came in and helped us understand everything that had gone wrong with the original foundation work by our contractor and then helped us create a plan with him and JES to fix everything and get it right.Brian came by the house regularly, checked on our needs, helped us with financing, and helped us prep for the work.Then Paul and team came in and in 2 days totally transformed but was called “the mud room” (our addition crawl space) to a place that could pass foundation inspections and was clean and usable storage space.I cannot say in words how grateful I am for JES and team. Not only did they do the work with excellence … they cared and excelled in listening to us and working with us to rectify a really challenging situation.Thank you JES !

Is Concrete Lifting the Right Solution For Me?
Concrete lifting and leveling is a perfect solution to any concrete issue because it’s fast, painless, and effective. Cracked, uneven concrete is an eyesore and a tripping hazard that can lessen your property value. For example, concrete stairs, sidewalks, and driveways are especially important to lift to avoid injury.
Because your home’s entire foundation is made of concrete, maintaining it is extremely important. Our skilled crew evaluates your property and provides solutions tailored to your unique repair needs. JES also provides FREE, no-obligation home inspections. Contact us today if you want your concrete handled by the region’s best concrete lifting company.
FAQs
We recommend inspecting your concrete at least once a year, and more often if you notice sudden changes such as new cracks, sinking, or surface wear. If you’ve had concrete lifting completed, an annual service visit can help ensure your concrete stays protected long-term. Contact JES to learn more and schedule a free concrete inspection.
Opting for concrete leveling is typically more efficient and cost-effective than a full replacement, provided the concrete is not extensively broken or crumbling. When the concrete is severely damaged, removal and replacement may be necessary. For a precise assessment of your situation and to determine the most suitable repair solution, contact JES for a free inspection.
Concrete repair times vary, but many polyurethane foam projects are completed within 1 day due to the rapid 15-minute cure time. JES-trained and certified experts provide estimated timelines based on your repair needs during a free concrete evaluation.
The cost to repair a sunken concrete slab depends on factors such as the slab’s size, the extent of the settlement, and the repair method needed. Because every project is different, a professional inspection is the best way to determine the appropriate solution and provide an accurate estimate.
The durability of leveled concrete can extend many years, depending on the repair technique employed and proper upkeep. Factors such as soil settlement, freeze-thaw cycles, and the burden of traffic contribute to its lifespan. If cracks continue to appear, they should be inspected promptly. For more details on the longevity of concrete leveling, especially using durable polyurethane injections, get in touch with JES for a free inspection and estimate.
Why Concrete Lifting and Leveling Is Needed
Enhancing Property Value
Having a home with a cracked driveway and a sunken sidewalk can be a deal breaker for potential buyers. Properly maintaining your concrete enhances your home’s value. In addition to being unsightly, cracks in your concrete can allow water to seep through and damage wooden structures, including your foundation.
Limiting Injuries
Damaged concrete can lead to trips, falls, and injuries. You can easily trip over uneven concrete slabs and severe cracks. Falling on it is, as you can probably guess, particularly painful. Help everyone, especially the elderly in your household, by getting your concrete repaired quickly.
Restoring Yard Drainage
Your yard’s natural drainage is designed to send water away from your foundation, but if your concrete is cracked and sinking, the water will expand the soil beneath it. If the concrete is located right by your home, your foundation will only hold up for so long under the weight of all that soil and water before it finally cracks. Lifting your concrete back into its proper position with PolyRenewal™ helps direct water away from your foundation and back into your yard, where it can drain properly.
Common Concrete Lifting Tips & Mistakes
Tips On Concrete Lifting
- Stay Vigilant: As part of your home’s maintenance, regularly check for cracks, unevenness, and other structural issues.
- Don’t Ignore Standing Water: If you see standing water, look for cracks and voids in your concrete. Catch it before it leads to mold, mildew, water damage, and excessive humidity.
- Shop Around: Make sure you do your research when considering concrete lifting and stabilization. Repair your concrete the right way with qualified, experienced concrete lifting companies like JES Foundation Repair.
Mistakes To Avoid
- Avoid Mudjacking: Polyurethane foam, like PolyRenewal™, is a lightweight alternative that lifts and stabilizes your concrete long-term. It is also affordable and less invasive.
- Don’t DIY: Concrete lifting and leveling is not like other home improvement projects that can be done without specialized tools and skills.
