A sinking concrete slab can create trip hazards, drainage problems, cracks, and uneven surfaces around your home. Whether it’s a slab supporting a shed, outdoor living area, detached structure, or another concrete surface, settlement usually means the soil beneath the slab has shifted or lost support.
At Jacksonville Contracting, we help Maryland homeowners restore settled concrete slabs using proven mudjacking and polyurethane lifting methods. Our goal is to stabilize the slab, restore a safer surface, and help you avoid the cost of full replacement whenever possible.
Concrete slabs depend on stable, properly compacted soil for support. When that soil settles or washes away, the slab above begins to move.
Common causes include:
Repairing settlement early can help prevent additional movement and costly repairs.
Jacksonville Contracting also repairs driveways, garage floors, basement floors, porches & patios, pool decks, and sidewalks & walkways.
Concrete settlement often happens gradually, making it easy to overlook until the problem becomes more noticeable.
Common signs include:
If you notice any of these issues, it’s a good idea to have the slab inspected before the problem gets worse.
We use a proven process to lift and stabilize settled concrete while minimizing disruption to your property.
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.
Concrete lifting offers a faster and more affordable alternative to replacing settled slabs.
