Concrete Leveling Boise, ID

Concrete is the most common non-natural material on earth. Not only that but the second most used material after water.

With our lives largely dependent on this substance we owe ourselves a lot to making sure it’s used and maintained in the best way possible. Yet with all of the efforts put in by the whole of humanity this 3000 B.C. old profession is still not perfect.

​Cracks and settling are meant to occur as a result…with the best approach to solving this by concrete lifting.

Is still hurts and brushes our hearts when we are faced with an ugly looking concrete – almost every time we install a fresh concrete this happens and we just wonder what has just happened? What caused this? who to blame? And what do we do?
​
If you happen to be faced with this problem in a situation where you’re confused about why your concrete is looking bad and you just don’t know what has happened or what to do there are high chances that you have a sunken concrete.
​
This guide will help you notice and understand the signs of sunken concrete and how you can ease your problems of an ugly looking concrete through concrete lifting also known as mudjacking.

Signs that You Have a Sunken Concrete

To the concrete technician, the problem of an ugly concrete is not more than a sunken concrete but for the homeowner, there’s nothing more obvious to him than the concrete is looking ugly. Concrete is meant to be smooth and flat on the surface and that’s what makes people happy when they are welcomed to their new homes.

Gradually the concrete starts to crack and wear, you may try resurfacing your concrete time after time but something will still be missing. The obvious solution is not more than to have concrete lifting done on the affected area rather than spending a ton of money on resurfacing.
​
So, let’s look at some of the signs of sunken concrete.

Uneven Floors

Floors are everywhere in the building whether it’s in front of the patio, side of the pool, the driveway, and even beneath the stairs, they are everywhere. When the soil beneath the concrete compacts as a result of consistent loading it becomes unable to support the concrete anymore thus causing the concrete to sink

It’s important to know that sand in different locations has varying loading capacities and if exceeded can cause the whole foundation to sink. This should be figured out by your construction contractor before the construction takes place to have a design in place that will accommodate the problem.
​
Check out the different soil bearing capacities based on the type of soil you have.
​
There is almost and always the need for concrete leveling to be done in order to fill in the voids created underground so keep that in mind!

Concrete Cracks

Cracks are the most scenarios when dealing with concrete. Virtually cracks are meant to occur one way or the other no matter how small they might be. Cracks are a sign that the ground underneath has shifted causing the concrete to bend and then crack. It’s just like when you have a seismic activity occurring underground – the ground opens up and we people call it an earthquake.

Bear in mind this doesn’t mean you have a mini earthquake situation happening on your building before you go on to assume that your house might get swallowed suddenly overnight.

Cracks can become a leading cause of settlement in concretes but why? When cracks occur water sips down into the soil as a form of moisture, therefore, causing the soil to expand and shrink afterward leading to a sunken concrete.

When water is left to go beneath the concrete without doubt voids are created and thus concrete lifting is bound to be done.
​
In case, if the situation worsens you might want to contact a foundation repair contractor.

These are by far the two most common ways to find out whether your concrete has sunken; when you realize uneven floors and when you find cracks scattered everywhere on the surface of the concrete.
​
Cracks may not straightaway cause concrete floors to sink but will gradually lead to that if appropriate care is not taken.
If you’re having trouble dealing with a bumpy driveway, then there’s a high chance you've got a sunken concrete. Give us a call today and we will be at your doorstep for the much needed concrete lifting maintenance.
