The process of concrete lifting is relatively simple. First, small holes are drilled in the sunken or uneven slab. Then, the special material is injected through the holes and into the void underneath the slab. As the material expands, it “jacks” the slab back into its original position.
The material used for concrete slab lifting is strong and durable, and it can withstand heavy loads and extreme weather conditions. Once the material has hardened, it stabilizes the slab and prevents future sinking or settling.
Any Cons You Should Know About?
As a home concrete repair method, concrete lifting is one of, if not the best option. But still, you should think about its long-term effectiveness before you invest any money in this repair, no matter how minimal the cost.
Make sure to address the underlying reason your concrete is sinking. For instance, if soil erosion due to poor drainage is washing away the earth that supports your concrete slab, concrete lifting isn’t going to be effective for long. You will only have the same problem once again.
On the other hand, if you’re able to solve the root problem for the sinking concrete, the fix will last.
