A sinking or uneven basement floor can be more than just an eyesore. It may be a sign of soil settlement, erosion beneath the slab, poor compaction, or moisture-related issues under your home. As the concrete settles, cracks can form, water may begin pooling, and the floor can become difficult to use safely.
At Jacksonville Contracting Co Inc, we help Maryland homeowners restore settled basement floors using proven concrete lifting solutions. Depending on the project, we may recommend traditional mudjacking or polyurethane foam lifting to stabilize the slab and raise it closer to its original position without the cost and disruption of replacement.
Most basement floor settlement occurs because the soil beneath the slab can no longer properly support the concrete above it. As the supporting soil shifts or erodes, empty spaces develop and the slab begins to settle.
Common causes include:
If left untreated, settlement can continue and potentially create larger structural and drainage concerns.
If you’re experiencing settlement in other areas of your property, we also repair garage floors, driveways, sidewalks & walkways, steps, and provide foundation repair solutions throughout Maryland.
Many homeowners don’t realize their basement floor is settling until the problem becomes obvious. Addressing settlement early can help prevent more expensive repairs later.
Common signs include:
If you notice any of these warning signs, it may be time to have the floor professionally evaluated.
We use a simple, proven process designed to lift and stabilize settled concrete without removing the existing slab.
Small, strategically placed holes are drilled through the concrete so we can access the voids and weak areas beneath the slab.
Mudjacking material or polyurethane foam is pumped beneath the concrete to fill voids, stabilize the base, and raise the slab.
Once the concrete is stabilized, the access holes are patched, the work area is cleaned, and most surfaces can be used the same day.
Replacing a basement floor can be expensive, messy, and time-consuming. Concrete lifting often provides a faster and more affordable solution.
