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.

Bryan ********** and Austin ***** were fantastic. They were great about explaining what AND why they were doing what they were doing. Very professional and courteous and spent more time on the job than expected due to equipment problems. Instead of saying we'll come back some other time, they worked through it, went way past the scheduled time on site and got it done. I'm very appreciative of them and the job they did.

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.
