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. On homes with basements this can often lead to wet basement floors, this home did not...
Voids, Hollows, Caverns, Dens….are you dealing with void space under your concrete? One of the advantages of using Geo-polymer for filling voids is its light weight. Various formulations can be ordered but our polymer of choice is HMI’s RR401g. For large void fill jobs lighter duty polymers can be a very cost-effective alternative to gravel...
Slab curl is something that can happen along control joints and edges as they cure. The differential in humidity and temperature causes slabs to curl up or down but generally up as the soil keeps the underside cooler and wetter. In residential concrete this isn’t as big of a concern but in warehouses where fork...
Leveling a settled concrete warehouse floor. We saved Bluebird packers a truckload of money on a job we did for them this last year. One of their C/A storage rooms had a section that had settled, after pulling level lines across the floor we found about two and a half inches of total settlement. Because...

The above picture demonstrates something very common, settling at the main water service vault. If you were to open the hatch at your water meter you would see a concrete vault or box going down about five or six feet deep. Because it is sitting so low it generally does not settle. The sidewalk...
A typical patio with minor settling under the sliding door Jobs done! Notice how it is nice and tight against the door frame, just like new! Once concrete settling starts you can expect it to accelerate. This is because rain, snow melt, sprinklers and any other source of water will start to drain...
A two inch drop from the garage to the driveway Problem – Driveways like the example above are common. If the settling is not causing a slope issue, (water draining under the drive to the foundation) they can often be ignored until you have a noticeable “bump” that is annoying and can cause...
A common problem with a garage floor This may be the first indication that your garage floor is settling, a slight gap under the garage sweep. Garage floors are supposed to be poured so water will drain our the door but when settling occurs at a corner, like the one pictured, water instead flows...
