Slabjack Geotechnical is now a certified installer of Pier Tech helical piers and we are excited to offer this service rather than refer it to a company hundreds of miles away. What can be done about a settling foundation? If you are dealing with the nightmare of a settling foundation here is what you...
My Dad was someone who taught his seven children the value and the honor of an honest days work. Dad owned a dairy and during one stretch worked seven years without a single day off. Thankfully some of that work ethic rubbed off on his children, we’re thankful for the example. Successful concrete raising often...
Slabs settling against another concrete structure such as a foundation wall can create slab binding. This sometimes happens in garages, basements and even some exterior slabs. As a slab settles on one side it actually moves toward that side slightly. The further it settles the more it moves in the direction of the settling. When...
It’s going down for the count, what are you going to do with your settled concrete? We all love owning our own homes but it does comes with occasional repair expenses, things we must do in order to maintain the value and integrity of the structure and to reducing liability. Concrete leveling is really done...
When we built our home back in 2005-6 our builder, perhaps like yours, really didn’t do any kind of compaction. As a result we have had several issues to address, first the porch, then the sidewalk then the driveway and the latest is our garage floor. (And you thought you had it rough!) The settling thus...
Concrete cracks, every concrete contractor will tell you the same thing, live with it. It is frustrating, can anything be done? Concealing cracks is not always something that can be done completely. There are several materials to fill cracks both cheap and expensive. Can anything be done to better conceal cracks? We have found staining...
Some of the communities we serve have an abundance of concrete that is heaved, primarily by roots. What can be done? There are really just two approaches to this problem other than ignoring and accepting liability. -We can raise adjacent slabs to create a transition up and over the root, in effect a ramp. This...
What does state of the art mean as related to Slabjacking? Three things. 1. The technology we use. Computer controlled equipment that delivers the material at the proper temperatures, pressure and flow. In addition we use gauges that enable us to monitor lift to 1/1000 of an inch. 2. The material we use. There are many...
Occasionally we’re asked how heavy of a structure we can lift. Geo-polymers Slabjacking has raised structures well over a quarter million pounds. It is actually quite surprising how much a concrete structure will weigh. Entry porches are a good example of this and can be instructive of why they settle. A six-foot deep porch that...
