Signs of a Sinking Concrete
If you have an uneven driveway, patio or sidewalk, concrete raising may be the right repair for you. The solution will depend on the root cause of the movement and size of the concrete slab. We can fill in voids that have been washed out under slabs and do our best to return the concrete to at or near level with areas that haven’t dropped.
A slab foundation may require helical piles to be installed. Driveways, steps, and concrete patios can be repaired with a variety of techniques and products including polyurethane foam injection.
If you notice any of these signs, call Spartan Ram Jack at 866-806-7177 for a free evaluation.
Why Your Concrete Is Sinking
Most concrete slabs, patios and sidewalks do not have deep foundations because they do not carry the weight of a building. However, this also makes them ripe for movement. Annual soil compression and expansion that occurs during our changing seasons will eventually crack of move these slabs. The good news is that these types of repairs can be relatively inexpensive. Ask our experts for their free evaluation!
RELIABLE, LOCAL FOUNDATION REPAIR EXPERTS
Homes built with slab foundations can experience foundation settlement that can cause a variety of problems including sloping floors, water intrusion, and cracks in walls just to name a few. When the soils beneath or around your home shift, settle, become weak, or wash away entirely, voids can be created that your concrete slabs will settle to fill. This can lead to structural damage, as well as uneven or cracked concrete slabs. These are unappealing and dangerous, creating tripping hazards that could lead to serious injuries for you or your family members. A settling concrete slab can also show cracks appearing in the slab itself. If you notice signs of a settling slab foundation, a professional on-site evaluation from a trained Spartan Ram Jack foundation repair consultant can help determine the cause.
Causes of Foundation Slab Settlement can include:
-
Chronic hydrostatic pressure in the soil
-
Expansion and Contraction of the soil
-
Water damage from leaks
-
Storms and flooding
-
Earthquakes
-
Tree root growth
Our Concrete Slab Repair Method
Spartan Ram Jack utilizes helical piles to repair concrete slabs. Our helical piles offer a fast installation with phenomenal results. Spartan Ram Jack’s helical piles can be installed directly through the floor slab to support and raise the slab back for maximum practical recovery.
Slab Piers
Safeguard your home with our trusted foundation repair specialists
If it's found that your home sits at a critical low point on your property where water can collect and damage your foundation, then action needs to be taken to remedy this sloping issue. Grading a yard is one solution but, in some cases, lifting and raising a home is the most effective way to keep a house dry and protected against significant erosion and water damage.
Spartan Ram Jack® can raise homes, both safely and economically, using a variety of proven elevation techniques and foundation systems customized to each job. This process is ideally suited for homes on existing timber pilings that are in good condition, where the home is now too low per revised flood maps, or by local ordinance. Our Sandy Bracket helical system can be used to elevate homes and provide homeowners peace of mind.
Our Proven Lifting & Raising Solutions
Spartan Ram Jack’s method of lifting homes is far less invasive than a traditional lift because the home is never disconnected from its foundation or moved off its existing footprint; therefore, risks associated with traditional lifting and moving a home are greatly reduced.
Some of the other benefits of our method are:
-
Homeowners are not required to vacate their homes for months in advance or for weeks afterward. Where local officials and utilities are cooperative, homeowners only need to vacate one to two weeks rather than months.
-
The process is a “Sustainable Solution” because no new timber resources are used—existing ones are simply “recycled” to a new height.
-
Our Sandy Bracket helical system offers a secure foundation, especially when connected with a grade beam. This offers greater “sway mitigation” and peace-of-mind on windy days, compared to homes elevated on timber pilings.
Manifold House Lifting
Do you have uneven concrete, such as a driveway, patio, or sidewalk? Before you pay for high-cost concrete replacement, you should consider Polyjacking. Polyjacking fills washed out voids or settlement and can raise your concrete slab back to level. Polyjacking is an economical alternative to replacement of your concrete. Polyjacking also requires no concrete demolition which prevents heavy equipment from damaging your beautiful yard.
Slab jacking using polyurethane foam injection has been in use for many years for commercial slab repairs. As an example, the Department of Transportation has been using this method to stabilize bridge approaches, street intersections, and airport runways for decades.
Unlike mud jacking, there is no risk of this material being wash away again. While stronger than mud, it has far less weight eliminated the risk of extra weight continuing to compress the underlying soil.
These methods are used to lift interior and exterior concrete structures, including:
-
Driveways
-
Garage Floors
-
Patios
-
Pool decks
-
Sidewalks and walkways
-
Porches
-
On-grade slabs
-
Basement slabs
-
Concrete stoops
