Tilting pool deck Pool decks that have settled need to be repaired soon or major problems can result. In the photo above, a large gap has opened up allowing water to penetrate behind the pool wall. Over time this can have disastrous results as not only support for the deck is compromised but for...
Raising settled concrete is as much art as it is science. As much as we would like to be able to just use a mathematical formula, a tape measure or a calculator to tell us how much material will be needed, where to drill and how long to squeeze the trigger it just isn’t that...
We recently leveled a driveway that is a good example of what can be accomplished with geo-polymer Slabjacking. The three car driveway covering six separate panels had settled under the control joint going left to right due to a drainage issue. The settling caused the drive to “cave” in. As a result we had to...

Walks however are often just poured on unprepared soil which results in settling. One...
Settled interior concrete can be especially challenging. The incredible cost of demolition and removal, the unbelievable mess and the time to do the work all conspire to ruin you week. We recently had a job that demonstrates the advantages of concrete raising over replacement. The home, a vacation property was unoccupied when the water line broke,...
Wide but not deep porch pinned to foundation We recently raised a large decorative concrete porch, this porch is fairly typical of what we find as we provide estimates. The porch measured roughly one hundred square feet and was wider than it was deep. There were two columns with decorative stone work attached. The porch had...
Settled patio with trip hazards We Just completed a patio raising job that is typical of what is found. The patio had settled against the foundation a full three inches which caused water to drain against the foundation.

Sadly most builders either don’t adequately plan for the removal of water, leaving it to others to deal with, or they do a poor job of it.
