Fixing Concrete Settlement with Precision Concrete Jacking
If you’ve noticed uneven sidewalks, cracked driveways, or sloping garage floors around your home, chances are you’re dealing with concrete settlement. This common issue occurs when the soil beneath a concrete slab shifts, compresses, or washes out—causing the slab above it to sink or crack.
The best solution? Concrete jacking, a proven method for restoring sunken concrete to its proper level quickly and effectively. At Sealtite Insulation & Slabjacking, we specialize in using high-performance polyurethane foam to lift, stabilize, and extend the life of your concrete surfaces.
What is Concrete Jacking?
Concrete jacking—also known as slabjacking or foam jacking—is a process used to lift and level sunken concrete slabs by injecting expanding foam underneath them. This method fills the voids caused by concrete settlement, compacts the soil, and gently raises the slab back into position.
Compared to tearing out and replacing the concrete, concrete jacking is faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective.
What Causes Concrete Settlement?
Before leveling your concrete, it helps to understand what’s causing the issue. Common reasons for concrete settlement include:
-
Eroded or washed-out soil beneath the slab
-
Poorly compacted fill dirt during original construction
-
Changes in moisture levels, especially in clay-rich soils
-
Heavy loads or vibrations causing soil compression
These problems lead to voids under your slab—creating unsafe, uneven surfaces around your home or business.
