Fix sinking slabs with PolyLevel® Concrete Leveling in Greater Tampa

Does your home have sunken concrete, uneven surfaces, and tripping hazards on driveways, sidewalks, walkways, concrete steps, or patios? Even houses with the highest quality standards and materials can still experience certain damages out of the property owner's control. Plus, outdoor concrete usually contains multiple slabs. Over time, the slabs settle into the ground, creating uneven surfaces and trip hazards.

Sinking outdoor concrete is common in Florida and is from shifting or a weak soil base or erosion. But there is no reason to worry — sinking concrete may be a noticeable problem, but LRE Foundation Repair offers a quick and effective solution with the PolyLevel® polymer injection system!

Which sidewalk would you prefer to walk on?

Sinking concrete can turn sidewalks, driveways, and concrete floors into unattractive safety hazards. It may seem odd that such a sturdy surface, like a concrete slab, can sink. But it is frequent in most homes and can create unsightly and dangerous situations. It can also be a real problem if you are concerned about the liability of visitors tripping on your property, preparing your home for sale, or want to enjoy your home with your family and friends.

Although sidewalks are not always a part of your home, maintenance is usually the homeowner's responsibility in many cities. That means you could be at fault if someone gets hurt on a dangerous tripping hazard while walking on your sidewalk. To avoid these potential issues, consider getting your sidewalk fixed immediately.

Why does concrete sink?

The soil underneath the concrete slab is the main reason that concrete sinks. The soils support the concrete, so if they are not fully intact, they may shift and no longer support the heavy weight of the slab above. Soils expand and contract as they get wet and dry out, which creates voids underneath the concrete and causes slabs to settle further into the ground.

• Soil expansion: When it rains, the water pours into the ground and saturates the soil, causing it to increase in size. As it expands, the soil will become displaced and move from its original position, making it less supportive of the concrete above.
• Soil contraction: Soil contracts during dry weather conditions. As they dry up, they shrink in size, creating voids in the ground and becoming less supportive of the concrete above.
