You noticed it. Don’t pretend you didn’t. You notice it every time you leave the house but ignore it. You’re thinking it won’t get any worse. You’re hoping it won’t get any worse. You begin to wonder, is it worse now than it was last year? You tell yourself that it can wait. Should you really take a chance that your concrete will not sink more? Consider Concrete Leveling Foam to repair your concrete.
Use Concrete Leveling Foam to repair your sinking concrete.
Your concrete is sinking because there is a void underneath it (a void can also be visible on the side of a driveway). As the void gets 
deeper under your sinking concrete, the chances increase that it will crack beyond repair. Repairing a concrete driveway, garage floor, sidewalk, or steps with poly jacking is 40% less than replacing it. Unfortunately, the age of your home is not the only indication that your concrete won’t need replacing. A home built 3 years ago can be just as prone to needing concrete repair as a home 12-40 years old.
Why does a 5-year-old house need concrete leveling?
One reason the concrete slabs around your 5-year-old house may need levelling is the speed at which the house was built. As former builders, Jason and Ken know that building a house faster is not better. The concrete may be sinking because the ground beneath the concrete was not packed and prepared to handle the weight of the concrete. Another possible reason the concrete is sinking is water flow from rain and snow melts. This runoff may have created the voids due to improper water flow from drain pipes or other structural issues around a home. It takes time to build a house and to do things right. The building of a home may be rushed to meet the wishes of a homeowner. A builder may not take the time they need to let things settle or expand and contract. Realistically, it should take a year to build a house. That may seem like a long time, but rushing this process may result in sinking concrete around a new home as well as other structural issues.
Your sinking concrete is going to get worse. It is. Do nothing, and one day you may have no choice but to replace your concrete. Do something now and save 40% over the cost of replacing your sinking concrete. Contact the Concrete Leveling Foam experts at Concrete Raising Systems for a quote today.
