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.

JES was very professional from the initial inspection to the crew that installed my crawlspace encapsulation. Antione was my foreman, he was very clear and polite when communicating the schedule and what to expect. The crew arrived on time each day and worked diligently. They even went even the extra mile with a couple changes to the original plan. I am very happy with the results and definitely recommend JES and Antione for crawlspace repairs.

Mike came to carry out the annual inspection of our house to ensure no settlement had occurred since JES had fixed our foundation issues a few years ago. He explained everything very clearly and made sure I could see for myself how the laser showed perfect alignment still. He was very thorough and most personable. I look forward to seeing him again next year.

My scheduled appointment with Cameron ******** from the Mobile, AL. branch was for 12:00 noon, and before the time of the appointment, I received a phone call from Cameron, who stated that he had finished early on another job in the area and wanted to see if I would like to have him come out sooner. I was very pleased to hear that and I was accommodating. Once Cameron arrived, he introduced himself and we sat down to go over the entire process of what the inspection was going to entail. Cameron was very professional, knowledgeable of the job, and a very polite man. After going over the process, Cameron asked if there were any questions I had for him or concerns I've noticed since the install. I did go over a couple of things that were noticed and I was reassured all would be investigated and corrected within the company's ability (Meaning anything outside of what they can do, won't be able to be done which, makes perfect sense). The process of measuring, analyzing, and making adjustments went smooth and quick. Cameron then sat back down with me to discuss his assessment of things and what was done. The appointment from the AFS company that is located out of Mobile, AL. was for my yearly inspection. This was the second interaction with AFS and each time, I have been very impressed and pleased. AFS does not disappoint and relying on them to correctly do the work on one of the most important jobs on a home, is why I love this company! This company is my "go to" for life, and so should it be for all that need this type of work done! Again, a big shout out to Cameron ******** for a job well done! Thank you!

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.
The process duration varies from one to three days, based on the project’s scope. Professionals aim to work swiftly to reduce any inconvenience to your property. Materials like polyurethane set rapidly, whereas concrete and mudjacking solutions require more time to harden. A JES expert can provide you with an exact schedule during a no-cost concrete evaluation.
The cost of repairing a sunken concrete slab can vary based on factors such as the slab’s size, the extent of damage, and the repair methods chosen. JES Foundation Repair offers complimentary inspections, obligation-free estimates, transparent pricing, and a range of payment and financing options. Contact us today to schedule your free inspection and cost repair 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.
